We aim to be the world's biggest online bullion market.\ \ Economie of scale will mean you can buy, sell and store silver, gold and platinum at wholesale prices. Sparklo will connect buyers and sellers from all over the world. They can all quote prices to each other when they wish to buy or sell; and so can you. Like any exchange this price competition forces everyone - including Sparklo itself - to quote highly competitive prices, and you always get the best quoted price, from whoever is quoting it. The cost of ownership for the average Sparklo user will work out at 0.1 per annum - which includes all dealing, storage and insurance costs. This is particularly attractive in comparison to the 0.5% fee charged by the largest traditional investment platforms. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
