Questions
Common questions about Live Metals
What people ask me before they subscribe.
What is Live Metals?
It’s a Costco gold tracker. It tells you in real time when Costco gold or silver is back in stock and what you’d make selling it to a buyer. You also get price history, and Gold adds warehouse inventory.
Is Costco gold worth it?
It can be, if you buy with Executive and the Costco Visa or other rewards credit cards. Costco sells gold bars at a small premium over spot. Executive membership gives you 2% back and the Costco Visa another 2%, so your real cost can end up at or below the metal’s market price, and below what a buyer like BGS, Pure or Aligned Incentives will pay you for it. What the buyer pays, minus its fee and what the bar cost you, is your profit. The catch: restocks sell out in minutes.
Where can I sell Costco gold bars?
We price bars against three buyers: BGS (Bullion Gold Store), Pure, and Aligned Incentives. For each bar we take what each buyer would pay, subtract its fee, and show you whichever leaves you the most.
Can I see which bars and warehouses you track?
Yes. The public list shows every gold and silver product we track, with its Costco SKU and weight, and the warehouses we cover. Live inventory is for members.
How fast will I know about a restock?
We check Costco.com every minute during business hours. When a bar comes back, the alert hits your phone within seconds by email, SMS, Slack, or WhatsApp.
Does it work for Costco.com, or only in the warehouse?
Both, on different schedules. We check Costco.com every minute and each warehouse several times a day, and on Gold you can trigger a warehouse check yourself.
Does Live Metals have price history?
Yes. Members can compare today’s prices and stock with the history we’ve collected. Our public market reports show some of it on a delay.
How do profit profiles and alerts help?
A profit profile holds your costs, rewards, where you sell (BGS, Pure or Aligned Incentives) and the return you’re after. Every number is what that buyer pays after its fee, minus what the bar cost you after rewards. Your alerts can then stick to bars that fit those numbers.
Will I get woken up by alerts?
Only if you want to be. Each notification profile has its own days, hours and time zone, plus cooldowns, so a busy restock doesn’t blow up your phone.
What stops false alarms from canceled orders?
Canceled orders cause a single item to get restocked, but these go fast. You can choose whether a bar has to stay in stock for a couple of minutes before we notify you.
Can I search Costco warehouses near me?
Yes. Search the warehouse finder by location, state, ZIP or distance.
Do I need Executive membership or the Costco Visa?
No. They’re just the most common way people get to 4% back, and the numbers on this page use those rates. Your customizable profit profile uses whatever rewards, tax and fees actually apply to you.
How does the free trial work?
Gold includes 7 days free for new subscribers. A card is required, you can cancel any time during the trial, and after that it is $14.99 a month or $161.89 a year, whichever you chose.
How do I get access to Live Metals?
Pick Silver or Gold in the pricing section. Gold starts with a 7-day free trial. You create your Live Metals account on the way to checkout, and your dashboard and alerts are ready the moment you sign in.
Is Live Metals affiliated with Costco?
No. Live Metals is independent. We can’t reserve or hold products, and stock can change before you check out or get to the warehouse.

We check every bar in real time and immediately let you know what you’d make on it.
