For example, while you can make a profit from this type of scrap gold selling, there are some pieces that are worth far more than that. Items which are usually scrapped are those that are bent or broken. Sometimes a simple wedding band or other rings like a high school or college class ring may also be scrapped since their value alone isn’t really worth much.
Also coins that are defective or damaged may be scrapped as well as dental crowns and bridgework, individual earrings, nuggets, wire, watches and some electronics.
Before you take the items to a buyer you will want to separate them first. The best way to do so is by seperating each piece into piles of 10k, 14k, 18k and so on. Next, you’ll want to remove anything that may be of value to another buyer since as stones or jewels.
And finally before you take your scraps to a dealer, weigh them and then call around to find out who has the best price for the weighed pieces. So now that you know how to sell your scrap gold, don’t let a buyer fool you into anything less than what your items are really worth.
