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.

Different Ways You Can Sell Scrap Gold

Sell Scrap Gold

If you’re interested in trying to sell scrap gold, you may be wondering just who you should to take it to. There are actually several options:


Jeweler: If you want to sell gold jewelry, you may find that a jeweler is the perfect option for your pieces. You should know however that not all jewelry stores may be interested in buying your items simply because they only deal in selling jewelry.


Refiners: Refiners are the perfect choice if your want to cut out the middleman and make as much as possible from your items.


Online Companies: There are more and more online companies sprouting up all over the web offering the opportunity to sell gold without having to spend your precious time traveling all over the place just to cash in your scrap gold. Instead, you’re asked to send your goods in to the company where there are weighed and a check is sent in return.


Commercials: You’ve probably seen them on your television late at night - those one of a kind (or not) commercials prompting you to call their toll-free number for more information about selling your scrap gold jewelry pieces, coins and even dental pieces for some quick cash. These work similar to the online businesses by having you send in your valuable items.


Newspapers: If you’re looking to cash in your stuff at a more personal level, then you may want to consider the want ads in your local newspaper where businesses and individuals both are looking to buy what you have to offer.


Gold Selling Parties: If you’re open to hosting or attending a party, you can sell your valuable pieces at one of these fun bashes and have an appraiser available to access the price of your goods. Keep in mind that you may not get the best price possible when you sell scrap gold at a party, since the appraiser and host of the party will get a cut of the profits from your wares.
