Why Karatbars®?
CONSIDER ALL OF THE FOLLOWING...
Most customers when looking to BUY Gold, ANY gold, usually deal with RETAIL. All they typically see or know to compare is price.
Some retail companies may give them a special discount for a purchase. But it's still retail without other financial rewards. When the deal is done, IT'S ALL DONE.
And without knowing all the features and benefits included in KARATBARS®, they may jump to conclusions. They don't know. For many, it may not be that important to them. But for those who want the facts will get them.
WHY? Because they have NEVER been exposed to anything like this before. KARATBARS® is a Category-Creator. NO one is doing what Karatbars® is doing globally.
So LOGICALLY, without some explanation, someone may ASSUME that Karatbars® is in some kind of "BAKE SALE" and simply include it with other "gold" companies. It's LOGICAL...But INVALID.
So, why should one NOT look at only price to make an accurate, informed complete comparison?
Karatbars® has the lowest price for their gold category. Compare BMW to BMW, not Ford to BMW. Google: kinebar grade 1 gram gold.
But before we get into all the reasons why owning a 1-gram Karatbar® makes far more sense in this economy than owning a 1-ounce bar-even though the same amount of gold may be lower in price.
Let’s compare prices of several 1-gram bars:

Prices for Karatbars® - Apples to Apples
When you're thinking about the price of KARATBARS® gold bullion and you somehow come to the conclusion that the prices are too high, you haven't compared apples to apples. It's like this: A Chevy Cavalier is a car just like a Corvette is a car. Bottom line is they're both cars. But the fact is one costs more, is worth more, and retains its value better. |
Comparing Prices With KARATBARS® Gold Bullion
The first thing in comparing prices of ANY commodity is understanding that you must do an apples-to-apples comparison. For example, if you are going to buy a pint of milk you must compare the price with other single pints of milk.
What you DON'T do is find the best price for a GALLON of milk (which, for the sake of discussion, lets say is $4) and then divide $4 by 8 pints (which is 50 cents per pint), and then compare that price to buying a single pint. We all understand what it means to buy in bulk. As with any product, there is what is commonly called volume discounts. The reason bulk prices are less per ounce is very simple: there is more labor cost to produce several units verses one unit, but the flexibility of use benefits are significant with 1-gram gold over larger weights.
To get an accurate price comparison (not taking into consideration the MANY benefits that come with owning a flexible transaction-friendly 1-gram Karatbar®), you cannot take the spot price for an ounce of gold and divide it by 31.1. (There are roughly 31.1 grams per troy ounce of gold.) And you cannot take a gram price and multiply it by 31.1. You must price Karatbars® gold bullion by the gram against other similar-quality gold that's sold by the gram to make an accurate comparison.
Is The Price of KARATBARS® Gold Bullion In Line With What's Out There?
With gold and silver, you pay more for smaller weights regardless of your source. Just like you pay more for 1 can of soda or beer than you would pay for a case of 24 cans. The more you buy, the better price you get.
If you want to be accurate and compare apples to apples, ask your broker what his/her price is for a 999.9-grade 1-gram gold bullion produced by an LBMA-certified refinery? No one can touch Karatbars® price! Karatbars® has consistently maintained a 2-4% better price. Even if a broker could match or beat Karatbars® prices, will they give you free gold for referring others?!? I think not. And all require you to buy many 1-gram bars even if you only want to buy one and although they may advertise they can deliver, they are often out of stock or cannot actually deliver gold in one gram weights.
Check the prices and compare for similar quality and same currency:

Karatbars® - Weight 1 gram
|
Karatbars®'s program is NOT for traders. It is for savers and many ask "what does it cost"? This is a poverty mentality because a wealthy mentality asks "what is it worth"!
As of mid-February, 2012, when $1 (USD) exchanges for 1.32 Euros, the price of a 1-gram Karatbar® was approximately $78. It's not what it costs; it's what the market says it's worth. Cost and worth are two different things, much like an acre of land on the U.S west coast in Malibu is worth more than an acre of land in Iowa. Karatbars® is "prime real estate": It costs less than comparable 1-gram gold bullion bars of this quality; it resells for more and it holds its value out of the vault.
POINT #1
KARATBARS® are private issue (produced by a private refinery and mint and exclusive to Karatbars®) 999.9% 24-carat Gold Bullion... and are not subject to seizure under the current International Bullion Laws and U.S. Law.
Gold coins that have minted and issued from any government can be recalled to issuer (the government). All gold from Karatbars® is privately issued and CANNOT be confiscated by any so-called authority.
Karatbars® carry the LBMA certification from the Atasay Refinery which lends them to be "Good for Settlement of Debt" http://lbma.org.uk/pages/index.cfm
ANY and ALL gold purchases and gold coin purchases that are done in USA are RECORDED. The U.S. government knows exactly who has what. Most coins are PURE gold on the ALLOY Standard - 91.9% - because 24-carat is too soft. You do not actually OWN any government-issued coins; you are merely THE BEARER of the coins. Governments in financial duress can "recall" gold coins and only pay bearer FACE VALUE only. Ask yourself this: "Where do you think the U.S. government is going get the gold to restock THEIR shelves?"
Karatbars®ingots weigh in at 1.01 grams, above the legal limit if a country tries to exercise a VAT Tax on 1-gram bars. We have a niche market of transaction-friendly weights which make it a viable form of payment and exchange, under ALL economic circumstances, in ALL countries.
Karatbars® accounts are private and SECURE, more so than the FDIC, CDIC, or ANY gold sales in the USA or Canada.
100% of all funds you deposit into your Karatbars® account are used to buy gold bullion. There are no extra fees.
Karatbars® does not report any Customer transactions under $10,000 to any government agency in any country. And Karatbars® does NOT ask for a Social Security Number (SSN) or Social Insurance Number (SIN). Your identity is kept confidential for your account as long as you are NOT charged and convicted with money-laundering, involved in drug trafficking, or other international crimes under the U.S. Patriot Act.
All transactions are recorded by username and account number. When verified by German authority auditors, you only need to verify your account number, deposit, and whether the deposit was transferred into physical gold and transferred to the vault or shipped to you, the Customer. Germany is possibly the toughest country in the European environment in which to do business.
Karatbars International® is an offshore (Germany) e-commerce company with an optional Affiliate Marketing program. Karatbars International® is NOT governed by the USA. It is on the same level of trade existence that the U.S. government uses when dealing with any other country.
Karatbars® operates under the guidelines set forth & within the World Trade Organization. The member countries operate under these guidelines and the Harmonious Tax Codes.
POINT #2
Karatbars® in 1-gram weights have many more benefits than gold in 1-ounce weights. They are both gold, but it's like comparing an apple to a rock! ** **You CANNOT compare by price. The features and benefits are simply too far apart.
USE GOLD TO BUY GOODS AND SERVICES, NOT AS AN INVESTMENT!
The majority of those who look at gold will ALWAYS start by comparing price, thinking the only reason to own gold would be as an investment. It is not. They do not understand that one ounce of gold is one asset class, and one gram of gold is a totally different asset class, even though they are both gold. Even though they are both gold, the benefits of owning a gram of gold compared to owning an ounce of gold are significant. Karatbars® is about owning 1-gram gold bullion ingots that you could use as a form of exchange, much like you use paper money and credit/debit cards. It would be much more difficult doing that with larger weights of gold and certainly not with a 1-ounce gold coin. Following are things to consider when buying gold:
IS IT REAL?** ** KARATBARS® CANNOT BE COUNTERFEITED
Gold can and is being counterfeited. In order to know the gold is not fake or counterfeit, one must sell that gold to a gold dealer who has the tools to confirm it is pure. With Karatbars®, ANY merchant who is taught what to look for with the naked eye can quickly and easily determine that every Karatbars® is not a fake because it has:
You want to own 1-gram Karatbars® so that your gold does not need to be sold and converted back to paper money in order to get some future use out of them.
BUY-BACK PRICE
With all weights of gold, there is a buy-back price that's less than the sell price. With Karatbars® there are MANY more options available than simply selling them back.
Only Karatbars® allows one to find a way to get at or near the current day's retail value when ready to dispose of some.
NO NEED TO USE MORE THAN IS NECESSARY
If you own an ounce of gold, and need only a few hundred dollars, you will need to sell the whole ounce. If you have high inflation, you will want to leave as much as possible in gold. The inconvenience of finding a dealer willing to give you a fair price without having to stand in line etc., is something to consider as well. Karatbars® (1-grams) eliminate the need to convert to cash or use more than is required at that time. You cannot chip off a piece from an ounce and expect anyone to give you just that amount in paper cash or goods and services.
THE MASSES CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY IN LARGE AMOUNTS
Karatbars® brings gold to the masses. Almost everyone can afford to buy $65 at a time.
Karatbars® are stored in vaults, not in circulation or around circulation like a savings deposit vault of a regular bank. They are NOT held as collateral for something else like a prime funding venture or anything like that. If for some reason you cannot fully trust an offshore account then get your Karatbars® delivered directly to you.
Gold deposits are stored in large bars until ready to be minted into card denominations of your choice (0.5 gram, 1 gm, 2.5 gm, and 5 gm ingot cards).
Understand: To exchange into gold is one thing; to exchange out of gold is another. Karatbars® is the simple, no-nonsense, worldwide solution to a full-presence answer to both types of exchanges. Karatbars® offers a multi-faceted EXIT strategy unlike any other gold source.
Karatbars International® will buy back your Karatbars® with the guaranteed best buy-back price.
You can sell to other Karatbars® Customers or Affiliates. Use Karatbars® to buy goods and services within the Acceptance Points Network(merchants). Soon, we will be able to exchange fractions of a gram online, not using the cards.
Other major financial institutions see us a reliable financial partner; for example, The Vatican bought and branded 100 kilograms of our gold and branded it with our Karatbars®. NO ONE can doubt that the Vatican is a major financial giant worldwide. The Vatican doesn't get involved with hokey companies at all, Period.
We have made many presentations and expect to produce more Affinity Cards like the Pope cards. Football Teams, Hip-Hop artists, several churches, an Airline, and more are considering a private labeled Karatbar® for themselves. We are just getting started.
Remember: EARNING FREE GOLD is better than buying it at ANY discount.
POINT #3
Karatbars® Gold has ALL the bells and whistles on it in its standard feature.
Produced by an LBMA-certified "good delivery" refinery. See http://LBMA.org.uk (Click on "Good Delivery tab / Gold List). Scroll down to Turkey. Click "Atasay..."), Karatbars are good for "settlement of debt" worldwide. Do not take the LBMA-certification lightly: It takes 3 years of zero issues for a refinery to get LBMA-certified. Our Karatbars® cannot be counterfeited, and are verifiable by obvious and instant inspection.
Free storage abroad, in various geographic locations.
Low-cost shipping (about $20 for 40 grams) if you want your Karatbars® delivered to you. Or you can have them moved to your own vault for an additional fee of approximately 2/10ths of a Euro per gram. Our company subsidizes the portion of the shipping cost that ensures the shipment reaches the Customer's designated destination.
One of the insurance is through SecurLog, as they record on video every single packaging for delivery and the actual card numbers, etc. sealed. And SecurLog has their own private insurance company. SecurLog has their own on-site Insurance. They are recognized by the World Gold Council, one of the largest in the gold industry. Once your Karatbars leave the company's hands, they are double-insured by both Karatbars® and SecurLog. They are shipped via FedEx. Large deliveries are done by G4S, the largest global armored delivery company in the world.
The extremely high affiliate marketing internal payout (14.5% on the 100 gram Purchase Plans) allows Karatbars International® to prepare for infrastructure labor and expansion. On one-time purchases, payout is 5.5%.
We have "Green Gold: Karatbars® Green Technology Extraction Process uses NO mercury or cyanide. This makes them a serious TACTICAL PLAYER for gold production globally.
We are recommended by Bund de Sparer, a German independent consumer watchdog organization:
