    Leslie, we buy all our gold from Afex (afex.com). Another is Kitco
    (.com) - we use their chart for our daily fix, btw. Any bullion
    supplier.... AFEX is American Foreign Exchange - they are currency
    and commodities brokers, not really jewelry at all. We buy shot at
    something like +2%, and if they're out we get ingots for about the
    same, and then we alloy ourselves. I don't even pay attention - I
    think the alloys we use are like $5/oz or something. I Make my own
    18kt. alloy, though. It's about as cheap as you can expect without
    getting into scrap dealing...
