As in any business, when customers are more informed, better quality and service are provided. Reagents require some practice, but they give you the advantage of negotiating and understanding if the asking price is even close to the true value.

In Europe, we’re paying twice the price of a gram of 24K gold, and it’s all just for some quick dopamine that lasts less than a day. Imagine being addicted to buying small gold bars for 10 years straight. At the very least, demand that the quality matches the price.

Make them improve their business and develop their wholesale contacts.

Test the product in the same way as a gold buyer would test the potency of your gold when you’re selling it.

I highly recommend ProTestKitEU; these guys are rockstars. The amount of knowledge and help they provide, often in real-time chat, is exceptional. An educated customer base will definitely change the whole market. Go to your dealer informed and bring your test kit. 8 out of 10 times, your dealer doesn’t know anything about the cuts or additives. They have no clue about the purity; it’s all just talk. But you can learn how to estimate the purity and get all the necessary reagents for the price of 1-2 grams, with a kit that lasts up to 2 years and allows you to perform over 100 tests. We can make them change—change to compete for the best quality and service. It’s basic market demand philosophy.
