Three Tips to Sell Your Old Scrap Gold

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Many people have old gold rings, earrings, gold necklaces, bangles, charms, pendants, broken gold chains, old gold watches or gold watch cases, or other items made from precious metals.

Are you thinking about selling your scrap gold? Wondering how to go about doing it? It’s actually quite easy these days thanks to the internet, where you can learn how to sell scrap gold easily online, and also your good old pawn shop.

If you have any scrap gold, you can sell it, but for how much? Gold prices tend to rise along with worries of war or inflation but before you bring gold jewelry, dental fillings, teeth, nuggets, and bars to a scrap gold dealer’s counter (or send it off by mail) you should know exactly what it’s worth. There are lots of options to consider when thinking about selling gold. Make sure you know how much cash you will get for your gold and other jewelry while you still have the opportunity to get your items back. The price that you’ll get for your scrap gold is determined by a number of factors, including whether your gold is 9ct, 14ct, 18ct, 22ct, or 24ct, what the current price of gold is, and of course how much the dealer in question is offering for old scrap gold.

For an extra fee (of course), if you have enough scrap to make a nugget or bar, or I think even wire, you can request that they only reconstitute the scrap for you. You would have to make your order at that time.
