Default Investing questions

So i read about investing and some things are not clear to me. For example investing in gold or other material. If the price rises sky high are u 100% able to sell it? Are there somekind of institution which is always able to buy it from you no matter of price? Moreover where could i buy silver and gold without actually going there and taking it (i mean i buy and it is stored somewhere until i decide to sell or take it)?

p.s i am from Lithuania if that matters

It's all depend on liquidity. Usually for every security traded you have a spread between bid and offer. Some financial can guarantee you a minimum amount but you will have to leave an upside part.
do you want to buy physical gold ? If yes see below if not find an ETF replicating gold like this one (is pretty good), CH0047533523 - ZGLDEU
There are three alternatives to hold physical gold: a metals account, a collective deposit or a segregated deposit.

The metals account is usually not backed by physical bullion and merely grants you a claim for the deposited money to be returned to you, as it is the bank's only liability. The collective deposit offers you some guarantee but creates a co-ownership situation with many legal uncertainties and insecurities. The segregated deposit is the only one which grants you direct and exclusive property rights in the bullion bars.
