Where to Sell Scrap Gold
Do you have old pieces of jewelry lying around, but you’re not sure where to sell scrap gold? Well, you’re certainly not alone. Many people have been digging through their jewelry boxes with an uncertainty of where to go with their old gold.
There are a few places that may very well be local for many and no we don’t mean the local pawnshop. Instead, you may want to consider your local jewelry store or coin shop. Many jewelry stores will take broken gold items if they’re not in need of major restoration, but there are some stores who will buy any old gold for re-selling to refiners as scrap gold.
Another place to consider is your very own living room. Having a gold selling party to sell your gold is the perfect way to make some extra cash. And if you don’t feel like playing hostess, there’s bound to be someone in your town who wouldn’t mind doing so.
And finally, if you live in a bigger city, you may find brokers at trade shows that are willing to purchase your gold and silver. And if that’s not enough, sometimes the best resources are your friends and family. So the next time you see them, ask them where to sell scrap gold. They may just have a great place in mind.

Sell Gold Jewelry
Thanks to the recession not many of us have a choice when it comes to making a living just to make ends meet. Some of us may go from working in an office to working behind a fast food counters while others will consider trying to sell gold jewelry that they don’t really want any more. So if you’re one of those people, read on.
Friends and family will often suggest an obvious place like a pawnshop; however, this should be your very last stop since most pawnbrokers aren’t willing to give you top dollar for your scrap gold.
As a matter of fact if you’ve ever been inside of a pawnshop, you’ll understand why they don’t want to pay too much. Almost everyone uses a pawnbroker, so this means a lot of risk is involved and these guys just want to make as much money as they can.
If you want to sell your gold for market value, you may want to try selling them through auction or an individual. You should keep in mind that auctions charge a fee, and individuals who are willing to buy your item probably aren’t in it just for the item itself.
Now days there are gold buying stores in most towns that buy used gold. Many coin shops and jewelry stores have gotten in on the gold buying action as well.
No matter where you decide to sell your gold jewelry, however, one thing to keep in mind, if you go back to a place you were quoted before, that individual or company may not give you the same price as before, as the price of gold changes minute by minute.

Sell Gold Guide
I don’t know too many of us who wouldn’t want to sell gold. I mean the idea of making a little extra cash during this economic mess is definitely not something many of us are willing to pass up if the circumstances are right. Unfortunately when it comes to selling your old gold items, it’s hard to know where to start.
Of course it might be obvious to simply take your gold jewellry or coins to a pawnshop, but the problem with that is, you may not get the best deal there. Instead we need to spread our wings and consider other possibilities such as:
=> Jewelry stores, which may offer a decent price for old or broken jewelry
=> Auctions both on and offline where you can set your own price
=> Private gold parties where you can both host and take your gold jewelry for selling
=> Television and website dealers who offer to buy your gold through the mail
=> Newspaper ads where individuals are looking to buy your gold
The above are only a few places where individuals can make a little money from their scrap gold. Please keep in mind however, that not every company is legit.
So before you decide that you want to sell your gold to that particular company or individual, do your research and make copies of everything before that sale is final. Otherwise you may find yourself being taken straight to the cleaners.
