Guide To Sell Your Gold The Right Way

Do you have unwanted gold? Now is a good time to sell, because gold is going for an all-time high. It’s not too late to sell your pieces for a nice profit.

Don’t just mail off your unwanted gold to some unknown person and agree to take whatever they want to pay you! Instead, you need to know how to sell your gold effectively so you don’t get cheated.

Below are some tips on how to sell your unwanted gold and have confidence that you did it the right way.

Sell your gold in person. No exceptions. You want to be there and be in control of the situation.

The first thing to do is to protect your interests by asking for a quote. Ask for the quote in gram weight, not pennyweight. Gram weight is a more exact weight, and will make it easier for you to compare offers from different potential buyers. You want to find the best deal you can.

The quote should be based on weight, but also take into account different karat designations. The higher the karats, the more pure the gold, and the more you should be paid for that piece. Ideally, you want the buyer to test the items in front of you, so you can be sure it’s all above board.

If a buyer tries to give you an offer that is good only for that visit, and says that they won’t be able to buy if you come back later, don’t fall for it. These aggressive tactics are meant to scare you into taking a lowball offer, and are designed to prevent you from comparing offers from other potential buyers.

If you are dealing with a reputable buyer, you will have an offer that they will agree to honor for a few days. Now, if gold prices change the offer will change, and that is legitimate. But you don’t want an offer that is good in that moment only, that is probably a scam.

With truly valuable pieces, you need to do some research to determine what they are worth. You want to know which offers are reasonable before you make your choice.
