Learn the units commonly used for precious-metal products.
Precious metals are often quoted in troy ounces as well as grams. One troy ounce is approximately 31.103 grams.
A troy ounce is heavier than the everyday avoirdupois ounce used for many household goods. Product listings should identify the unit clearly.
Always compare like-for-like weight, purity and total confirmed price.
Keep the context in view
Product specifications, market conditions and individual circumstances differ. Ask direct questions and review confirmed information before making a transaction.
