As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, there is still a way to get that much needed cash. At Sell Us Your Gold, we will ensure that you receive maximum value for your Broken, Mismatched, or Unwanted jewelry, guaranteed.

When pricing out your jewelry items, be sure to get a clear understanding of what unit the buyer is pricing in. Many in the industry are creating diversions by saying that they are paying high prices for gold and silver, when in reality they are just quoting in Pennyweight (dwt) versus grams. Remember, there is 1.555 grams per pennyweight, therefore the price per unit of a dealer who works in pennyweight will obviously appear to be higher. At Sell Us Your Gold, we provide consistency and honesty with our pricing assessment. If there is an option that will yield our customer a greater payout, we are happy to offer up this advice. There is no smokescreen, fuzzy math or trickery here.

An example of this is testing "upward" on your jewelry items. Most jewelry should have a stamp as to what metal has been used. Whether it is 14k, 10k, 18k, or their respective corresponding percentages (585, 417, 750) we are able to identify the metal by the stamp. But in the case of broken jewelry, many buyers will assume that something without a stamp will be a lower karat, i.e. 10k. However at Sell Us Your Gold, we will test the item for 14k and 18k to ensure that you maximize your payout - just as the customer who thought she was bringing in a 14k chain, but received 18k money after our testing.

So this Valentine's Day, make it a point to visit our Gilbert location. Chances are you will receive great value for your unwanted items, and will have that extra cash to make Valentine's Day special.

Selling Your Gold For the 1st Time?

The most common thing we hear is that: "I've never done this before." Although many individuals have jewelry that they want to get rid of, they are reluctant to seek out a buyer for their items. Many reasons can be behind this, such as feeling nervous, ashamed, or scared that the buyer will try to take advantage of them - without giving proper value.

People are genuinely surprised at how seamless and quick the experience is at Sell Us Your Gold. First, we enjoy explaining the entire process of testing the items out. We do all testing in front of our customers, so you never will lose sight of your jewelry. Next, we explain the rub/acid test process and how that affects the payout that you will receive. Finally, we weigh everything in front of you, and give a no-hassle quote. The process is so quick and painless, that you can be in and out of our location in less than 10 minutes with CASH!

Recent quotes from our customers:
"You guys are so much nicer than the competition. Those other guys talk down to their customers"
"That was quick and easy. I should have come here long ago."
"I really appreciate how you test everything in front of us and explain it to me."

These are just a few of the things we have heard from our grateful customers. The gold and silver market are still holding strong, which presents a great opportunity to sell your broken, scrap or unwanted items. If you have any questions, feel free to stop by our office or give us a call. We look forward to seeing you.

Another Satisfied Customer!


First, take a look at these coins we recently purchased. These are Silver Morgan Dollars and Peace Dollars, dated back from as early as 1879. Yes, we buy Silver Coins and Bars too!

A recent customer stepped into our Gilbert location, very skeptical of the gold buying process. She lives in a 55 and older community, and has typically sold her gold items to a "gold buyer" that holds parties within the community. The customer came in and said "I'm only testing the waters, so I'm under no obligation - right?"

We assured our customer that we will give her a complete breakdown in pricing of her Gold and Silver items, and proceeded to checking, testing and pricing her precious items. As we went through this process, the customer was pleasantly surprised at how transparent the process is at Sell Us Your Gold. She stated that this was nothing like the "gold-buying parties" that took place at her complex - she knew exactly which items were 14 karat, 10 karat and Sterling Silver - due to our thorough explanation.

After the testing was complete, we gave the customer a quote for her items - understanding that she would go and check a few more competitors. Our representative told her: "Eight O Two." Which she responded: "Eight dollars and two cents?" - Thankfully, we were able to clarify - no, your items add up to $802.00 - which was almost too good to be true - She was only expecting maybe $200 based on her previous experiences with gold buyers. She was so delighted, that she insisted that we complete the sale on the spot.

This once again highlights a typical experience at Sell Us Your Gold. Come by our Gilbert office, and you will see why we are revolutionizing the Gold, Silver and Platinum buying business.

Why Are So Many Customers Switching to Sell Us Your Gold?

Although we've only been in our new Gilbert location since mid-October - our customers will agree that we are truly making an impact on to whom and where they will sell their gold and silver items.

#1 Security: One great example is from a high-end customer who came in earlier this week. She commented on how safe and professional of an environment that we provide for our customers. Rather than going to a store where their items are not tested in front of them - Sell Us Your Gold makes our customers part of the process. We explain step-by-step the testing process and ensure that our customers feel comfortable throughout. This particular customer has been reluctantly bringing her gold items to other places for years, but now she says: "I will be your customer for the long-term."

#2 Integrity: Many times, our customers unknowingly bring in items that are not real gold. Some shops make the customer feel guilty or brush off customers who bring in items that are not gold and silver. At S.Y.G, we treat our customers with respect and dignity - many customers who may have brought in non-gold or non-silver items have returned with piles of real gold and silver items after we have explained the process on what to look for.

#3 Value: Just yesterday, a new customer brought in a pile of broken gold items. She had never understood how the process worked - and walked away with $385.00! She said "I only expected like $25.00. I'm definitely going to be back!" At Sell Us Your Gold, we are here to bring a long-term business relationship with our customers, rather than a one-time transaction. We educate our customers on the gold market and what causes fluctuations - all with the goal of building a trusting relationship and a more savvy consumer.

Experience this for yourself - bring your unwanted, broken or mismatched gold and silver items, and you will not be disappointed!

Just How Much Has Gold Gone Up???



If you didn't believe the hype before - after seeing this historical Gold chart from Kitco's website - you should!

Take a look and see just how much your broken, unwanted or mismatched Gold Jewelry has appreciated since the beginning of the year. That same necklace that may have been worth only $100 could now be worth as much as $150. That is an amazing return on investment! If you still aren't sure, please feel free to stop by and check us out for yourself. One of our most recent customers was only expecting $40 for her pile of broken and mismatched jewelry. She was shocked when she received over $350 for what she thought was junk! Needless to say, she left a happy customer and has returned multiple times.
