The price of gold recycling at the old temple is equivalent to a 30% discount.

The reporter came to the Old Temple Gold counter, where there was a sign prominently displayed. The price for 999 pure gold was 1529 yuan per gram, the price for gold bars was 1355 yuan per gram, and the gold recycling price was 1060 yuan per gram. While inquiring about the gold recycling price, the reporter met Ms. Zhang, who had come to consult about the gold recycling market as well. She told the reporter that when she got married in 2009, her husband gave her a gold necklace, and recently she had thought about cashing it in. However, after consulting with several counters, she found that cashing in was not as profitable as rumored. Using today's prices as an example, although the gold selling price remained high at 1500 yuan, the gold recycling price was only 1060 yuan under the same conditions, equivalent to a discount of 30%, which does not include depreciation costs, loss fees, and various bargaining factors.
