Sell Gold Jewelry

One of the quickest and easiest ways to get some extra cash at the moment is to sell gold jewelry. The great thing about selling gold jewelry is that you can get almost instant money, bare in mind most gold buyers are purchasing the items for scrap  or in other words for the gold value only.   You shouldn’t rush into selling as there are several things you need to consider before doing so. This article will discuss how you can make sure that you don’t make a mistake and where to sell your old jewelry.

One of the most important considerations you have to take into account when looking to sell your jewelry is the true value to you.  I always say to people if the item has real sentimental attachment do hang onto it because once I buy it, it’s usually melted the same or next day.   For example, when looking for a dealer that wants to buy old jewelry you should remember that most won’t take  into account the value of the materials and the quality of the craftsmanship or the emotional value of that piece of jewelry to you. For this reason you need to think carefully about whether a particular piece of jewelry is worth more to you than the money you’ll receive for it.  There are some dealers that will purchase particularly fine pieces that they’ll resell and they will likely give you a touch more than a scrap gold buyer.

On the other hand, if you need the money desperately and have an offer for an amount of cash for gold that you’re happy with then you may have to make a difficult decision. No one likes to sell jewelry that they have an emotional attachment too but in some cases it’s necessary.

You also need to think about how much money you’re likely to receive. For example, with regards to scrap value, the condition of the items is unimportant, it can be one odd earring, a broken or twisted chain, dented pieces etc.   You should also take into account the current spot price of gold and whether it may be a better idea to wait for higher prices. However, at the moment even though the economy is going through a particularly rough time the price of gold is generally quite high although it changes on an almost daily basis.

It seems that the poor economy has led to  literally  hundreds of  new dealers and companies that are looking to purchase your unwanted gold jewelry so you should always take the time to look around and see which will offer you the best deal. You should also remember that the price of the jewelry you sell isn’t fixed and you can – and should – haggle to get the best price for you. Many unscrupulous dealer will nearly always start at a low price just to see what they can get away with so if you don’t haggle you’re throwing away money.  It’s always best to deal with a company that will meet you face to face and will tell you their price per gram ahead of time, if they won’t, I’d look elsewhere.
