Scrap Gold App
Show customers live scrap gold buy prices per karat — while your private buy percentage of melt stays hidden. Spot moves; the table recalculates. You are not rewriting a board every time gold ticks.
Someone dumps a jewelry pouch on your pad. You need a clear, current number — not a napkin formula, and not a wall of stale prices from this morning.
In Configuration → Scrap Gold you set one business rule: what percent of melt you pay. That percentage is private (customers do not see it). SpotPro multiplies live gold by karat factors and your % to produce the cash prices on the table.
You do not re-enter Config when gold moves. The display and previews pull live spot and refresh on a short interval (about every 30–60 seconds). Leave the table open all day; the numbers track the market on their own. Open Config only when you decide to change policy — for example, “we now pay a different percent of melt,” not “gold went up $40.”
Open the fullscreen view on a phone, tablet, or second monitor so the customer sees the same live prices you use. When you are ready to write the ticket, finish in NumisNexus using scrap tools that honor the same pay percentage — so the wall and the receipt tell the same story without extra busywork.

NumisNexus scrap buys
Write the ticket with scrap tools that use your shop pay % — finish the deal on the desk.
Config = policy only
Open Configuration → Scrap Gold to set or change your %. Not to “catch up” with the market.
What it looks like
Real screens from a live shop account — not mockups.
How it actually works
Two different ideas: your fixed policy (%), and live gold (automatic).
1. Set policy once — your buy % of melt
In Configuration → Scrap Gold, enter the percentage of melt your shop pays. That is a business rule (how aggressive you are on jewelry), not a daily market task.
Customers never need to see that percentage. They see the resulting buy prices on the table. Change Config only when you intentionally change shop policy — competition, strategy, different % for the public website vs counter if you use separate web settings — not because spot ticked up this afternoon.
- Policy lives in Config; live prices do not
- One shop rule for every device that opens the table
- Optional separate public-web % where you use website scrap embeds
2. Live gold updates the dollars — automatically
With your % saved, SpotPro applies live gold spot to karat melt factors and shows cash buy prices. The fullscreen and counter scrap views refresh on a short interval (about every 30–60 seconds) so a quiet morning board is not still quoting last night’s melt after the open.
That is the opposite of “update Config when gold moves.” Spot moves → prices recalculate. You can leave the display running all day. Staff do not retype anything for a normal market day.
- Auto-refresh from live spot — no dry-erase board
- Same idea as sell Display Screen / buy boards: metal moves, UI follows
- You still make the buy decision — the table just stays current
3. Show the table, then finish in NumisNexus
During the conversation, open the scrap table full screen or on a phone. Weigh and karat the jewelry against the live board so the customer sees what you see.
When you are ready to buy, NumisNexus is where you write the ticket: weight, karat, totals, shop vs show venue, customer receipt and store copy. Scrap purchase tools use your configured pay percentage, so you are not maintaining two different formulas — one for the wall and one for the desk.
Why shops leave it on the wall
Scrap is emotional for sellers and easy for new staff to mess up with ad-hoc math. A live table speeds the first quote, reduces “what did you pay last week?” arguments, and shows you run a process — not guesswork.
It also trains the next visit: customers already know you post clear numbers. That is the same transparency idea as live sell boards and buy sheets for bullion.
- Faster first quote on walk-ins
- Same prices at the storefront and on a show tablet
- Less training burden for new buyers

Common questions
Short answers dealers ask before they try this on the floor.
Do I have to update Config every time gold moves?
No. That is the whole point. You set the buy percentage of melt as shop policy. Live gold updates the cash prices on the table automatically (refresh on a short interval). Open Config only when you want to change the percentage itself.
Does the customer see my buy percentage?
No. The percentage is private. They see resulting buy prices per karat so the conversation stays about dollars, not your margin formula.
How often do prices refresh?
Scrap displays pull live gold and recalculate on a short timer — about every 30–60 seconds in the scrap tools. Leave the screen open; you do not manually refresh for normal market movement.
Is this a separate paid app?
No. Configuration → Scrap Gold and the scrap display are part of SpotPro for members.
Can I use it at a coin show?
Yes. Open the table on a phone or tablet (it keeps updating with live gold), then finish the purchase in NumisNexus and tag the venue as a show if you track venues.
How is this different from the Live Buy Sheet?
Live Buy Sheet is the broader “what we pay” board for coin and bullion lines from purchase presets. Scrap Gold is the karat/melt jewelry table driven by your scrap pay %. Many shops use both.
