TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR GOLD
Check with the BBB
Many gold buyers receive numerous complaints to the BBB regarding their business practices, be sure to check out their ratings before your visit. Some travelling gold buyers will not be listed with the BBB as they frequently change names and locations, be wary of any business that is not listed with the BBB. (All businesses should be listed regardless of whether they are accredited)
Check Current Gold Prices
Avoid buyers who refuse to post prices, especially pawns shops and jewelry stores. They frequently offer unreasonably low prices if they suspect a customer doesn’t know the value of their gold. Even if they do post their prices, double-check to make sure that this is the amount you are receiving per gram; we have had many customers report that our competitors pay much less than their posted rates if they suspect that the customer has not seen the posted prices.
Know your weight
Make sure you know the weight of your items, in grams, before visiting gold buyers. Then, you will know if their offer is fair. Education is your best protection! Don’t have a scale? You can use quarters or loonies as a reference. Quarters weigh 4 grams and loonies weigh 7 grams.
Shop around
We encourage you to shop around for price and are confident that you will return to us to sell. We frequently shop our competitors and have yet to find an actual offer that is higher than ours. If you have received a written quote from one of our competitors before you arrive, you will find our payouts higher, and if not, we will match the price PLUS 20% of the difference with our 120% guarantee.
Read fine print
Read small print carefully. Many sellers advertise their prices only for customers who sell more than $10,000 worth of gold. If you are selling less than this quantity, they will pay you much lower prices.
Avoid price ranges
Be wary of any buyer who tells you price ranges, but refuses to commit to a specific price. If they tell you they are paying “$8 – $14 per gram”, you can be assured that you will be offered a poor price after an unpleasant negotiation.
