About MetalsPlace

Last updated: November 2026

MetalsPlace is a B2B noticeboard where companies post metal for sale or metal they want to buy, and contact each other directly. It is not a broker: it does not hold money or goods, is not a party to any trade and takes no commission on trades. Alongside the board it publishes a metal price guide and a feed of metals industry news.

What you can do here

Browse and post listings on the metals board, as offers ("Available") or buying requirements ("Wanted"). Listing is free.
Send an inquiry to the company behind a listing; replies go between the two parties.
Check indicative prices for 33 metals in the price guide. The price methodology explains which figures are market data, which are calculated and which are reference levels.
Read headlines from metals industry publishers in news, each linking to the original article.

How the site makes money

Sellers can pay to feature a listing for 30 days, which places it on the homepage, at the top of its category and beside the price guide for its metal. Featured listings are marked as paid placement. Featuring does not mean MetalsPlace has checked the seller or the goods.

What MetalsPlace does not check

Listings are written by the companies that post them. MetalsPlace does not inspect goods, confirm stock or guarantee payment. Read what "verified supplier" means and the due-diligence checks to make before sending money or goods. Never pay in advance for gold or other precious metals offered below market price.

Independence

MetalsPlace is independent. It is not affiliated with the London Metal Exchange or any other exchange, price-reporting agency or the market data providers it uses.

Privacy
