Questions
Do dealers pay MetalsAlpha to be listed or ranked?
No. We don't earn commission from any dealer today. We may add affiliate links in future. If we do, every one will be marked, and they will never affect rankings. No dealer pays to be listed. Rankings are calculated from measured prices by a published formula. How we measure.
