How does Bravo get live gold spot prices?

Bravo pulls live gold spot price feeds with configurable refresh intervals — hourly by default. Payout values recalculate automatically every time spot updates.

What karat purities does Bravo support?

Bravo supports 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, and 24k with automatic purity multipliers. Custom purities are also available. Mixed-karat lots are broken down automatically.

Does this work for stores that also sell firearms?

That's exactly who uses it. Gold buying, firearms with full ATF compliance, E4473, buy-sell-trade, consignment — all in one system.

Q: Can I set different payout percentages by karat?

Yes. Configurable payout bands let you set percentages of spot by karat, with different tiers for scrap vs resale, manager approval thresholds, and margin guardrails.

Q: Can I track whether gold is scrapped vs resold?

Yes. Staff classifies each item at intake — melt-only scrap, clean and resell, repair and retail, or consign. Bravo tracks downstream outcome for margin analysis.

Q: How much does Bravo cost?

Bravo starts at $99/month. Gold buying capabilities are built into the platform — not a separate add-on.

Q: How hard is it to switch?

We've migrated 4,000+ stores. Zero downtime. Most stores are live within 30 days. Counter training takes about 20 minutes.

The Problem

Most Gold Buying Happens on a Calculator and a Handshake

No live spot data. No payout rules. No audit trail. Every employee prices gold differently — and you have no idea if you're making money or losing it.

If your gold payout changes depending on who's at the counter, you don't have a gold buying operation — you have a liability.
