Selling My Gold For Cash
People are always looking for new ways to make money, especially in a bad economy like ours. If you’ve ever asked the question, “how can I sell my gold” selling gold for cash could be one of these ways for you if you have the patience to learn how. You can sell all different types of gold – whether it’s scrap gold that you’ve gathered from around the house or some gold bullion that you’ve invested in. In the coming article I will tell you how you can sell all those different types of gold and who to sell to.
Before you do anything else you should probably figure out how much your gold is worth. You do this because there are many people looking to scam you have there in the gold selling field, so if you have a ballpark figure about much your gold is worth beforehand, you are much less likely to be taken advantage of. You can do this in one of two ways: by yourself following a guide or taking your gold straight to a jewelry store or pawnshop. Easiest of the two is definitely the latter.
When you finally figure out how much the gold is worth you can go about finding a gold buyer. There are plenty of gold buyers out there in fact may be overwhelming at the number there are. Just keep in mind that you need to research any company that you may think about selling to beforehand is so you don’t get ripped off.
For scrap gold and the like, you would be best off selling to a gold refiner or dealer. They buy all kinds of different gold based on the current price of gold. If you can, you should try and find one that pays out at least 90% or more.
If you have valuable gold jewelry that is worth more than just the gold content in the item you should probably think about selling to a jeweler or pawnshop owner. They will take into consideration the aesthetic value of your piece not just the gold value like most other buyers.
The last kind of gold we will cover today is gold coins. Most people buy gold coins as an investment like gold bullion but some may have older coins that have more value than just the gold content. So you are usually better going to a coin dealer before you make any decisions where you can get the coins appraised first.
That’s all there is to “selling my gold”. If you will follow the advice listed above you will be able to sell gold easily and safely. Just remember the major points like researching companies before dealing with them.
I would strongly suggest checking out the Silver and Gold Exchange before selling gold or silver to ANYONE. I did a great deal of research, online and offline, and learned a lot about this business. I checked pawn shops, jewelers, “gold parties”, hotel “buying events as well as the online buyers, including the “as seen on tv” guys. I found that the Silver and Gold Exchange paid more than anyone else I could find. I liked the fact that they post the prices they pay per gram (beware of the places that quote in pennyweight/DWT) on a live price chart at http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com I also checked out their Better Business Bureau report and found they have never had a single complaint as opposed to HUNDREDS of complaints some other companies have! I recommend them 100%
