What to watch out for when selling gold

What to watch out for when selling gold Desperate times lead to desperate measures-- a familiar phrase to many in these tough economic times. When finances are strained, people often turn to their material goods, their jewelry, coins, and antiques, as a source of quick and easy cash. As gold prices have reached record-breaking highs over $1,300/ounce, selling gold in any form has become an attractive option for those in need of extra cash. But buyers and sellers beware; this industry is a dangerous one. Any method for making quick money also attracts those who don’t play by the rules. There has been instance after instance of shoddy scammers sending out mail-in offers or even estate buyers who run their operations out of hotel rooms and offer insultingly low prices for valuables and jewelry.

In these times, you must turn to someone you can trust. If you want the highest return for your valuables, our offer may be exactly what you’re looking for. Before you shop around or risk being robbed by a mobile pawn operation, stop by our shop. We’ve heard case after case of people going to other vendors and being offered only money for the value of the gold present in the piece, despite the value of any precious stones set within it. We, however, are aware that the value of the gemstones may even exceed the value of the gold contained in the piece.

Many gold buyers overlook the value of a jewelry piece in its entirety. To them, the weight of the gold and the potential money they can make from it after ripping you off is all they have in mind. This significantly devalues the price of the piece and results in criminally low offers. We are different. We understand that the value of a piece of jewelry is not limited to the weight of the metal it’s made of but also the jewels on other embellishments that make it unique. Our ability to provide our customers with a fair exchange for their valuables is something we take pride in. It is not always easy to give up precious valuables, especially family heirlooms, and we always seek to maximize our customers’ satisfaction, value, and return on investment when they chose to do business with us.

Our way of doing business is not limited to jewelry, but also extends to rare coins. Unlike many other dealers who are in the business to undercut their customers, we strongly take numismatic and collector value into account. Our shop has the ability to properly assess the full value of your precious, rare coins, and ensure you are receiving the highest profit possible. Coin collection is a true art, and you should be fairly compensated for your time and your investment.
