Before selling your gold, keep these tips in mind:

Verify the buyer. Ensure they are local, certified, and trustworthy. Know your karat. Gold comes in 10k, 14k, 18k, and 24k. Higher karat means higher payout. Check market prices. Gold fluctuates daily; know the approximate value before selling. Avoid mail-in services. Risk of loss or undervaluation is high. Ask for transparency. Always request testing in front of you.

By following these steps, you protect your investment and maximize your cash payout.
