Step 1: Understand What You Have

Before you sell your gold, it’s important to know what you’re working with.

Most sellers have a mix of:

  • Gold jewelry (rings, chains, bracelets)

  • Broken or outdated pieces

  • Gold coins or bullion

  • Estate or inherited items

Common Gold Purities:

  • 10K

  • 14K

  • 18K

  • 22K

  • 24K

👉 Higher karat = higher gold content = higher value

Step 2: Know What Actually Determines Value

Gold value is based on three key factors:

1. Weight

The heavier your gold, the more it’s worth.

2. Purity

Higher purity means more gold content.

3. Market Price

Gold prices change daily.

👉 The combination of these determines your payout.

Step 3: Avoid the Biggest Mistakes Sellers Make

Before choosing where to sell, avoid these common mistakes:

❌ Going to the First Buyer You Find

This often results in lower payouts.

❌ Choosing Convenience Over Value

Pawn shops and walk-in stores typically pay less.
