Today we take a closer look at Goldline. What is Goldline? A Scam, or is it a legit company? Will it be the best choice for you, or should you look elsewhere? These are some of the questions this short review will focus on. Ok, here we go!
Company: Goldline
Website: www.goldline.com (url is broken. It gives a 403)
Price: Depends on your investment
Who is it for: People looking to invest in precious metals
Overall rating: (0 / 5)
**Update: It seems Goldline is no longer in business, so the review below describes their service while it was available.
Essential to mention (before we go into more details of this review)
We strongly recommend doing your research online before choosing a company to invest in. There are so many reviews online of clients being ripped off and scammed. So please investigate thoroughly and compare different alternatives before you make your decision.
One example: 99.9% of companies got “pushy” salespeople trying to stress you into acting fast.
Here is the thing, the #1 Recommended Gold & Silver IRA Dealer on our top-5 list got No-salesy representatives… So they won´t bother or terrorize you with phone calls.
You are an intelligent person, so I am sure that you understand the benefits of dealing with such a company instead, right?
+They got a couple more benefits you might appreciate as much as I do. You will understand yourself once you have visited the page (link) above.

With that being said, let´s continue with the review on Goldline!
What is GoldLine about?
Goldline is offering the service of purchasing physical gold and other precious metals, a service that they are not alone with providing. Like hundreds, if not thousands, of similar online companies you can find online (if you search for them).
How does it work?
This is the thing that I like the most with their site, it was straightforward to use and clear to understand, and I have seen many times on other sites that provide (more or less) the same services with a VERY “hard to navigate” impression on their site. But it was apparent to understand looking site compared to many of its competitors, to be honest. Goldline has a very easy to understand and navigate on looking site without all of the “noise,” and it makes up for a, at least online, better user experience. (see screenshot below)
Above is an example of a simple menu on the www.goldline.com website.
The Products
The products they have are precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in different forms.
IRAs?
Yes, they offer precious metal IRAs. However, if you are interested in IRAs, then I would strongly recommend checking out my #1 recommended company instead, as they are completely dominating the industry when it comes to Gold and Silver IRAs
Please read the review on them instead of on this page!
Can you get the gold (and other metals) delivered to your home?
Yes, you can.
Can you store your investment with the company?
You can not store your investment directly with the company. However, they offer you insured precious metals storage through independent third-party depositories.
Can you sell back to the company?
You can find this exact text on GoldLines website:
Goldline makes selling your precious metals easy!
Our commitment to providing a fast, safe and easy two-way market is just one of our many commitments in the Goldline Difference. Although the law prohibits us from guaranteeing a buyback, Goldline has a long-standing history of repurchasing the metals it sells. And, what’s more, we often purchase precious metals from people whose own gold dealers refuse to buy. Of course, our highest bid prices are reserved for our clients.
It just takes three simple steps to sell your metals:
- Call Goldline at 800-963-9798. Or you can email your list of products to info@goldline.com
- Once we have indicated our interest to purchase your precious metals, send them to our office where they will be filmed, cataloged, and counted. Our Client Service Representatives will provide detailed shipping instructions before shipping your products to Goldline, including appropriate insurance, so your shipment is protected (Goldline cannot be responsible for loss or damage in transit).
- Once your precious metals are received and authenticated, we will notify you of our purchase price and confirm your liquidation with one of our Client Service Representatives. We will issue payment, minus a small 1% liquidation fee, within three business days of confirmation.
Please keep in mind that we only buy precious metals coins and bars. We DO NOT buy jewelry or other precious metals that are not in a coin or bar form.
Can anybody in any country use the service?
No, their services are only for people living in the USA.
Is GoldLine a Scam?
So, is GoldLine a scam or not? It is a question that has been up on the wall now. Just look at the video below:
Important to mention here is that the video is seven years old. That leads us to the question, is GoldLine, still called a scam from many directions? (see Goldline BBB page here)
Well, a quick Google search showed me, to be honest, many, fast.
There is more than one complaint on them online. Below are the exact words from a “not so happy” user of their service:
I did not buy from Goldline. There are many stars in this review because I was required to input some value. I contacted GL about ordering 100 Silver Eagles and 1/10 oz. Gold Eagles. They wanted 42.00 dollars per Silver Eagle when everyone else was asking 35-36 dollars. For the 1/10 oz. Gold Eagle wanted 260.00 per coin when other sites asked 190-195. When I asked the sales rep why so much over the spot, he replied something to the effect of “we are not the cheapest, there plenty of sites that sell cheaper gold and silver, the higher premium reflects the value and guaranteed service GL provides.” His actual sales pitch was a lot longer and seemed to make sense (for about 5 seconds) until I realized gold would have to hit about 2600.00 per oz. to break even.
The only Guarantee I could be sure of was I was going to pay $700.00 to $800.00 more for the privilege of ordering from Goldline………….NO THANK YOU!!
How´s the support?
They have the support that most similar sites in their niche have in common. They lack only a live chat on the website. Other than that, you have the usual email and a phone nr.
Why Should You (Or Should NOT) pick GoldLine?
Well, as always, this choice is up to you. However, I have to say that there is not much if any at all. I feel that I should recommend GoldLine, in a top 10 list even.

Final Words and Verdict on GoldLine
Verdict: NOT Recommended
Overall rating: (0 / 5)
Ok, even if we found some pretty negative things on them online, we still have to be fair and honest here. It is legit. On the other hand, I strongly feel that we have to be truthful and accurate against all, so therefore I cannot close my eyes to the many complaints, so please at least do a bit more research before you jump on the first best offers, as there are many out there and some are out to rip you off!

Founder of: Gold Retired
Paid $34000 Roth IRA. Held over 10 yrs worth $14000. Loss $20000. Gold was 1100 when purchased now about 1300.
They are thieves and liars. I will spend my time writing to Atty Gen and everyone so others do not get scammed. A Mark bought them for a low price.
Very sorry to hear that,
Also, thank you for your comment, am sure it will help others to avoid this and instead look at more “reliable” alternatives.
This business is full of scams and stories from investors who have very bad experiences similar to what you describe and I absolutely think that you should spread the word as much you can to save others from this happening to them.
Thanks again and all the best
