For Moda members: Aurora Gold Shop works exclusively with Moda members and their referrals, so the access itself is the perk. David checks Moda group membership, and coming through Moda is how you get in the door to sell, buy, or bid at all.

What Aurora does for Moda members.

Five things, all built around the Moda Gold Club: buy your scrap, ship it safely, sell you bullion and coin, run the seller platform, and run the auctions.

Scrap gold buyback at 98%

Send in your scrap gold and Aurora melts it first, then tests the actual melted result by xray assay, and pays you 98% of that verified post-melt value. You are paid on what the gold really is, not on an eyeballed guess before it is melted.

Prepaid, insured shipping labels

Ship your gold safely with prepaid, insured return labels. Coverage runs up to $75,000 per box in both directions, so your metal is protected on the way to Aurora and any bullion is protected on the way back.

Bullion and coin near wholesale

Buy bullion and coin in every shape and size at near wholesale pricing on AuroraGoldShop.com. Live pricing and quotes stay on the site, since the metals market moves fast.

The DavidSouri.com seller platform

Register at DavidSouri.com to submit gold to sell, track your items, set price alerts, and run melt value calculations in one place. It is where the real intake and identity steps happen.

Bullion and coin auctions

Aurora runs live bullion and coin auctions inside the Moda Gold Club, where members bid on pieces across the whole range. View current auctions from your DavidSouri.com account.

Selling your scrap gold, start to finish.

The real intake happens on DavidSouri.com, where you verify your identity and enter your item details. Here is the shape of it.

  1. 01

    Register and submit at DavidSouri.com

    Create your account, verify your identity, and submit your gold with the item details. Print your prepaid, insured label and ship it in.

  2. 02

    Aurora melts and assays it

    Your gold is melted first, then tested by xray assay, so the value is based on the real post-melt result and not a pre-melt estimate.

  3. 03

    You are paid 98% of the verified value

    Payment lands 1 to 3 business days after the melt, and in most cases just 1. No financing and no middleman to wait on.

Good to know before you send or buy.

Getting paid to sell

Sellers are paid 1 to 3 business days after the melt, usually within 1.

Paying to buy

Buyers pay upfront, typically within about an hour of locking the price, because metals move fast. There is no financing.

Shipping insurance

Prepaid labels are insured up to $75,000 per box in both directions.

Identity checks

Sellers verify their identity to sell. Buyers verify their identity once they pass $10,000 in purchases.

An honest note from Aurora: physical stacking and trading is not an investment product. For most people it is a hedge, or a hobby that happens to hedge, and at most a small part of a retirement or investment portfolio. Aurora does not give investment advice, and neither does Moda.

Why they are on Moda

Built for the Moda Gold Club.

Aurora Gold Shop is a paid partner in the Moda vendor program, and it exists for exactly this community. David Souri has been a Moda vendor since March 2023, and he built the business around serving the Moda Gold Club and its ecosystem: buying scrap at a strict, fair rate, selling bullion and coin near wholesale, and running the auctions members bid in. Aurora works only with Moda members and their referrals, which is why coming through Moda is how you get in.

This is a paid advertising partnership. Aurora is an independent business, so the melting, the assay, the pricing, the shipping, and the payment are all Aurora's, not Moda's. Do your own diligence the way you would with any dealer, keep the honest framing in mind, and if anything about the partnership feels off, reach the Moda team through the contact page.

Members share references in the community. See a member reference thread. Something feel off? You can always reach the Moda team.

Have a question first?

The real work happens on David's sites, but if you would rather ask a question first, drop your details and David will get back to you the same day. Nothing here is required to sell, buy, or bid.

An email or phone is enough. Add a note if you want, or leave it blank.

Or reach him at 447-444-COIN or info@auroragoldshop.com.
