The Numbers Game: Advice To Anyone Selling Their Gold

In the Jewelry Business, numbers are the key - but pay attention to the right numbers.

While it is true that there is a lot of competition in the Gold Buying industry, it is also true that there are a lot of dishonest characters in the business as well.  Being in the Jewelry industry for over 35 years as wholesalers, retailers and buyers - Sell Us Your Gold has first hand experience as to the importance of thorough research.

As gold has shot up in value, it has become common for potential sellers to call around to dozens of gold buyers asking "how much do you pay per gram?" or "what percentage do you pay?"  These are excellent questions to ask - and are highly encouraged - however it is vital to ensure that you are dealing with companies with integrity.

We have heard dozens of stories, with customers saying that they were quoted x-amount per gram, only to find out that the Gold Buyer, Pawn Shop or Gold Party were setting their scales to Pennyweights - a completely different unit of measure.

There have been recent exposes in many states where certain gold buyers manipulate or understate the weights on the scales.  For those with integrity issues, it is easy to overstate the rate that they are paying over the phone.  

Here is one simple piece of advice:  See the entire process through.

The average testing time of gold/silver/platinum items is less than 4-5 minutes.  This small amount of time could make the difference between you losing or gaining hundreds of dollars.  Trust us, it is worth the time.  It is recommended to check with multiple places - which will give you a legitimate frame of reference as to what your items are worth.  

Secondly, if it sounds "Too Good To Be True", then it probably is.  If you were to call 4 places, and ask what they are paying per gram - Place A says $15, Place B says $16, Place C says $26, and Place D says $17 - which one of these doesn't belong?  It is likely that the place that says $26 is using a different unit of measure, or is not being honest with their pricing.  

These are just a few tips from long-time insiders of the business.  We would love to do business with you - and would love to see you receive top value for your jewelry items.  Stop by either of our stores for a hassle free, and fast (guaranteed) quote.

Let The Holiday Rush Begin!

Now that the Thanksgiving and Black Friday rush have passed - it's now onto SHOPPING SEASON! There is no better way to get that holiday cash than to sell your broken, scrap or mismatched jewelry items.

One recent Sell Us Your Gold customer came into our Scottsdale location with an old bracelet that was in fashion in the 80's. She had kept it in her jewelry box, hedging her bets on seeing whether it would become fashionable again - but finally gave up on that hope. She brought the bracelet into our office - we quickly tested the item - and shocked her with our offer: $600.00!

In her own words: "I would have been happy with $100!"

With the gold, silver and platinum markets so high, stories such as these have become more and more common. No matter how tangled, bent or unfashionable the jewelry item - they are still worth good money. We will explain the entire process to you, and test the items before your eyes....no appointment needed.
