I use a local jeweler.

My local pawn shop. They pay the most.

Pawn shop or a precious metals dealer.

The last time I sold gold, about 9 months ago, I compared several local jewelers to US Gold Buyers.com and US Gold beat everyone by a mile. I weighed my gold, sent it to them with their prepaid label and I had my cash in less than 2 days. They post their payout on their website so you can compare it if you get other quotes.

I went to a pawn shop once, never again. Their payout rate was too low. I found a local jeweler who buys gold and go there when I have small amounts to sell. If I have a lot to sell, I go to US Gold Buyers since they have higher payouts for larger amounts of gold.

US Gold Buyers. I have delt with them many times. Remove the gems becasue they won't want them unless you have large exceptional diamonds. They show their rates daily on their website.

I agree, US Gold Buyers. Presently the buyout price is way down.

@KalliI sold all my heavy gold jewelry to an upscale pawn shop called Bellevue Rare coins.

I made over $15,000 the first visit and returned later to sell another $3000 more. Very fair and honest.

i use our local trusted jeweler. they give good amounts for gold and silver AND give you a bonus 25% if you take a store credit instead of a check.

Just a final thought - recommendations don't mean much unless you can compare actual payouts per gram or dwt. Someone can say they got several thousand $ but that is not helpful unless you know the weight of the amount sold. I have used a simple postal scale to get a pretty accurate estimate. I'd say that if a jeweler won't tell you their payout per weight of gold, then I wouldn't necessarily sell to them unless I could compare to other sources.

Thanks everyone!

I’m on a year (or more) long quest to pare down non essentials. I sold quite a bit of my gold several years ago. But I did save some of my heavier pieces. Like lots of other ladies I’ve found my lifestyle now is more casual due to retirement.

I’m holding on to the pieces from the local goldsmith. But the Q gold I might part with if the price is fair.

Local goldsmith is semi-retired. In the past I sold to him. But if he doesn’t want to buy I think I might try US Gold Buyers. 😊
