Get Fast Cash For Your Gold and Platinum Jewelry


If you are like most people these days, you are thinking of ways to economize and to bring in more money. Maybe you are eating out less or waiting to buy a new car. Maybe you've started a new business or taken a second job. Don't overlook one of the easiest and most profitable ways to make money: cash for gold. If you have scrap gold or gold or platinum jewelry you can turn it into cash safely and quickly.
What can I sell?
There's a market for scrap gold. Scrap gold is any material that has enough gold to be of monetary value. Scrap gold must be refined to a higher purity in order to be useful. For scrap gold to have value, the cost of the refinement must be less than the value of the refined gold. With the current high demand for gold, almost all scrap gold has value.
Gold or platinum rings, bracelets, charms, and lockets have value whether they are in good shape or they are broken. You can also get cash for gold medals, statues, wire or solder, coins, money clips, and class rings.
How much money can I get?
How much money you can get for your gold depends on many factors. The current market for gold, the quality of the gold, and the cost of refinement affect the value of your gold. Because gold is a soft metal, it is rarely used in its pure form to make jewelry; it is alloyed or mixed with other metals to increase durability. Because of this your gold pieces may only be half gold, or even less. That affects the gold buyer's price.
Where can I sell my gold?
Pawnshops and small buyers may not give you the most cash for your gold. When selling scrap gold, your goal is to get 100% of your jewelry's scrap value. Shop around and compare rates and guarantees before you decide where to sell your gold.
Another way to get cash for gold is to work with a reputable refiner with years of experience buying gold, platinum, and jewelry. Online refiners may offer a "gold kit" to make your transaction easier and safer. At your request, the company sends you a secure, prepaid mailer and a unique tracker number. Put your gold in the mailer and drop it in the mailbox. Expert assessors determine the value of your gold and send you a check. A reliable company will allow you to return the check and get your gold back if you are not satisfied with the amount you receive.
Gold parties are another way to sell scrap gold and jewelry. A gold party accumulates enough gold to interest a gold buyer in paying top money for the gold. It also saves you the trouble of finding a buyer.
Look in your bureaus and your jewelry boxes. You may not want to sell your wedding ring or family heirlooms, but consider selling the gold pieces you no longer want. Take advantage of the strong gold market and get cash for your gold.
