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. 😊
