Spot has been changing by large jumps both up and down lately, so you could lose just as easily as you could profit in a very short time. I guess you could call it gambling.

Not necessarily Jim.

One can always hedge his physical gold while in process until it sales.
Though, 2.5% is tight margin, even with hadging. IMHO.
 
I think it's important for you to take a step back and think, 2.5% of WHAT? (a daily / weekly average....)

Spot price is constantly changing, and although your overhead may remain relatively steady, you are trying to base your profit on a fluctuating number. Is this 2.5% profit including a refining fee, so that you can actually cash in your gold? If not, I would recommend buying it at 10% below spot (or more). This will give you room on poor assay's, fluctuation, and refining costs, yet still give you an edge over competition.
