text: where can i buy gold bars? i understand that if i were investing, it would be easier to just buy an exchange traded gold fund, but i'm looking for actual bars. where can they be bought? are online dealers my only option? if you had enough money to buy gold bars you wouldnt be spending your time sitting on your *ss on a computer in yahoo questions asking dumb*ss questions like this.  the rich are in contact with the rich and things like this are common knowledge.  if you are planning on buying a gold bar im sorry but they dont shave the gold bar down to crumbs for the amount of money you have.   keep dreaming pal!!!
