Returning Integrity to the Gold Business


As we continue to interact with our growing customer base, it is truly shocking to hear some of the experiences that they have encountered at other "Gold Buyers" throughout the Valley. Tales of deception, bait & switch tactics, along with leaving with the feeling that they got an unfair deal are commonplace. It is the goal of Sell Us Your Gold to change that perception.
We represent 2 generations within the jewelry industry - with over 35 years experience in the wholesale, retail and purchasing aspects of the gold business. Our extensive knowledge of the industry, and commitment to integrity will ensure that you receive the best possible experience when you come to our 2 locations.
We always encourage our customers to bring in their items for a full analysis, and will give an honest, fair assessment on whether we can provide maximum value for their items. For example, a repeat customer wanted to sell a 130 year old coin that was in graded mint condition. Knowing that local coin collectors may pay more for this item, we encouraged the customer to check with these collectors to receive maximum value. Remember, we are not the "typical" gold buyer!
We test each item in front of you, explaining the process to ensure you will be comfortable in selling your valuable gold, silver and platinum items. Our pricing structure is very upfront, and consistent with changes/fluctuations in the precious metals market.
Still not convinced? Come into our Gilbert or Scottsdale location to experience for yourself!

Are All Coupons Created Equal?


When flipping through your local coupon books, newspapers, mailers, etc., you would have to notice the upswing in the number of gold buyers offering "Bonus Payouts." Its a great way to attract attention - even we at Sell Us Your Gold do it as well. But the question is: Are all coupons created equal?

There are buyers who offer 5% extra payouts, 10% extra payouts, even as high as 25% extra. Do the higher coupons promise the best possible payout? The answer is no.

Be sure to read the fine print written on the coupon. Some buyers publish a higher amount of bonus cash, but expect a near impossible amount in order to achieve the so-called bonus payout. One store required over $2,000.00 minimum in order to achieve their advertised payout. The vast majority of consumers would not have that much jewelry to begin with.

Secondly, if there are buyers who are offering exorbitant amounts like 20% or 25% extra, it is likely that their up front pricing is not very good.

At Sell Us Your Gold, you can ensure that our prices are extraordinary. First, we do not require any minimums if you bring in a coupon. Whether its $3.00 or $3,000, we will honor the coupon regardless. Secondly, our up front, honest pricing ensures that you are getting the best deal, even without the coupon. We test the items in front of you - ensuring that you will get maximum value on your Gold, Silver and Platinum items.

What has been the common thread among Sell Us Your Gold customers versus the competition? Our customers consistently state that we carry ourselves with honesty, integrity and give them no doubt that we are giving them an honest, fair deal. That is why the majority of Sell Us Your Gold customers are repeat customers and referrals.

See for yourself, we now have two locations to serve you:

Gilbert-
1034 N. Gilbert Rd, Suite 4

(480) 398-3249

Scottsdale-

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.
