How to Sell Gold Jewelry

How to Sell Gold Jewelry

It’s always a good idea to know how to sell gold jewelry unless you want to end up getting far less than what your gold items are actually worth. What most people don’t realize is that you can even sell gold that is broken and make some quick cash if you know how to go about it.


First, don’t fall for those ads where buyers claim you can get thousands for that bracelet that’s been sitting in the bottom of your jewelry box. You’ll just end up setting yourself up for disappointment when you find out that all they’re willing to offer you is less than a hundred dollars for that bracelet.


Be leery of selling gold to buyers who are willing to set up camp for a weekend event and then vanish back to where they came from. While not every business will be illegitimate, it’s not easy to determine who’s worth selling your gold to in a matter of a few days.


Ask them for proof that they’re licensed by the state to buy gold and whether they have permits and carry insurance. Any business that is legit will be able to produce the information without any negative reaction to your questions.


If you absolutely must have the business weigh your valuables, ask if they have an approved scale with a blue seal which is required by law in some states to verify accuracy of your weight. If not, have the dealer show you the readout from the scale so you know exactly how much your pieces are worth. If that dealer refuses, then you should find another buyer.


Remember, you have every right to know how your items are being handled. You have every right to ask questions and ask for proof so that you know exactly how to sell gold jewelry without being duped. If you’re told otherwise, take your items and run.

Selling Scrap Gold You Find in Your Jewelry Box

Selling Scrap Gold

Just recently I was reading a news article about a man who is a professional mover that found a barrel in the trash. In that barrel he discovered ancient Mexican artifacts that are worth over $16,000. Isn’t it nice to discover such treasures just from another man’s junk? So maybe your jewelry box isn’t holding any artifacts from Mexico, but what if you could bring in a bundle of fast cash from selling scrap gold you find in your jewelry box?


Or what if you discovered that in your attic or garage is a box of old knick-knacks made from the precious metal, collecting dust. Maybe it’s time you cleaned out your home, a little summer cleaning, perhaps? You never know what gold items may be lying in your junk drawer just waiting for you to cash in.


You just never know what scrap gold might be lying around your home that you could cash in by selling the scrap gold that you find. After all, look what happened to the man who found that barrel!

Selling Gold Online May Get You More Money

Selling Gold Online

When you’re considering selling gold online there are a few things you should always keep in mind. First and foremost, never sell to a website that looks suspicious. If there’s no information on the company whatsoever, that is not a good sign.


Next, consider checking with the Better Business Bureau. If they’re listed and it’s positive, then chances are they’re a reputable company. Yet, just because a company isn’t listed with the BBB doesn’t mean they aren’t any good. Google them to see if they come up and what people are saying about them.


When you decide on a company that you’d like to sell your gold jewelry or gold coins to, make copies of all of the paperwork and take photos of everything, including the items and the paperwork. That way if something gets lost, you have backup. And finally insure your package. You never know when the post office may accidentally lose or damage your package.

Make Extra Money Selling Old Gold

Make Extra Money Selling Old Gold


When I was growing up on Pensacola Beach, just about every day I’d see one or more people running around with metal detectors and little shovels, looking for buried treasure I guess (mostly consisting of lost jewelry and coins I suspect.) I guess they made some extra money selling old gold that they’d find.


Today you hardly ever see people with metal detectors any more. Instead many people are digging through their jewelry boxes for old and broken gold items, or they’re cleaning out abandoned houses and storage units for treasures.


Other people are inviting friends over for a get together at home and offering their gold jewelry and coins to companies who are willing to buy them via a gold selling party.


Another great place for selling old gold is online. Just make sure you’re dealing with a reputable company, preferably one listed with the BBB.


But no matter how they choose to treasure hunt, they all have one goal in common and that is selling old gold for extra money.


And why not? It’s a great way to think outside of the box when it comes to making some extra cash during this modern day gold rush.

Where Can I Sell Gold?

Where Can I Sell Gold?

If you’re asking, “Where Can I Sell Gold,” you’re certainly not alone. With the excitement of recent steady rise in the price of gold, more and more people are cashing in on this modern day gold rush. But before you decide to cash in on your own old gold, don’t rush off to the local pawnshop… Check out these other places instead.


Jewelry Stores – Your local jewelry store may offer you a good price for your gold jewelry, especially if it looks like they could clean it up and resell it in their store. You may or may not be able to sell your gold crown or gold coins there.


Online Gold Buyers – Many people have discovered that online businesses looking for gold to buy may be the way to go. This could be so if that business has a good reputation. Just keep in mind that once you mail off your goods, you may or may not be able to change your mind. Some of the better online gold buyers will email you their offer to approve before just sending you a check.


Gold Refiners – If you want to leave out the middleman and make as much as possible, you may want to consider heading to the refiners who actually process the gold. You will most likely have to have a large quantity of gold to be able to sell directly to a refiner.


And if you’re still wondering, “Where Can I Sell Gold,” then a pawnbroker may be your best bet. Just keep in mind that if you go this route, chances are you may not get the best price for your gold items.
