Evidence-ranked precious-metal listings

Priced by looks.
Bought by the gram.

SpotMelts compares precious-metal listings with the metal inside them, checks whether a listing can still be bought, and ranks the few worth a closer look. Members see reviewed alerts first; the public feed opens three hours later.

Membership is open to everyone. Every member receives the full reviewed lead feed.

Why the gap exists

Underpriced metal isn't generosity. It's friction.

A seller may need to close an estate, clear pawn inventory, or finish an auction. Some listings leave out the weight that matters. A useful price gap can be real, but it rarely stays open for long.

Every ten minutes

Every opportunity goes through five filters.

Each listing is compared with current spot prices using the available weight and purity evidence. Listings that cannot actually be purchased are removed before alerts go out.

New listings are scanned on a ten-minute cycle.
Weight and purity evidence are compared with metal value.
Unavailable and blocked buying paths are removed.
The clearest remaining opportunities rise to the top.
Members see reviewed leads first; the public feed follows after three hours.

Five metals · one dashboard

Compare the metal that gives each piece its value.

SpotMelts tracks gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper against current prices per gram.

Gold

Compare karat, stated weight, and asking price against estimated melt value.

Silver

Review sterling and fine-silver listings against the same per-gram measure.

Platinum

Surface listings where the stated metal and available evidence deserve a closer look.

Palladium

Keep less common metal listings in view when the buying path is clear.

Copper

Compare source listings and flag possible plating or material mismatches.

What the numbers mean

Useful evidence, with its limits in view.

Observed

Seller price, stated weight and purity, availability, and the visible buying path.

Calculated

Estimated melt value, price-to-melt ratio, and potential spread.

Still yours to verify

Authenticity, actual weight, condition, delivery, seller history, and resale outcome.

Questions buyers ask first

Know what the checks can tell you.

How often do new leads appear?

Sources are scanned every ten minutes. Members see a lead when it clears review; the public feed shows it three hours later.

Do you guarantee profits?

No. SpotMelts is a research tool for finding and ranking buying opportunities. Condition, fees, taxes, shipping, pickup, and resale assumptions are still yours to verify.

Do I need to know jewelry?

You should understand basic precious-metal terms such as karat, fineness, and melt value. The dashboard handles the comparison math and helps surface availability evidence.

Is this investment advice?

No. SpotMelts does not tell you what to buy. It helps you find listings that may be worth your own review.

Why not just search marketplaces myself?

You can. But every minute spent searching is a minute someone else could be buying. SpotMelts continuously scans new listings, scores them against metal prices, removes unavailable or low-value opportunities, and brings the strongest candidates to the top before you ever open a marketplace.

What about condition and privacy?

Condition still matters. Check wear, missing parts, shipping terms, and seller history before buying. We use account information to provide sign-in and member access.
