Why Lake Forest Residents Choose Glitter Bug Gold Buyers

✔ Highest Payouts in Orange County

We pay aggressively for all karats of gold — from 10K to 24K — as well as coins, bullion, and luxury jewelry. With Orange County’s most transparent testing and a clean, no-pressure environment, local sellers consistently receive better offers here than at pawn shops, mall kiosks, or jewelry stores.

We use the Thermo Scientific Niton DXL XRF Analyzer, the same advanced system used by refiners and industry professionals, to give Lake Forest sellers exact purity readings without scratching or damaging their jewelry.

✔ Immediate Payment – No Waiting, No Mail-In Risk

Bring your items in, watch them be tested, and walk out with cash in minutes. No shipping labels, no uncertainty, and no delays.

Why Lake Forest Prefers Us Over Pawn Shops & Jewelry Stores

✔ No lowballing

Pawn shops often offer 40–60% of true value. We routinely pay far more due to professional testing and industry pricing.

✔ No guesswork

Your gold is not “eyeballed” or scratched. XRF analysis gives you precise purity and metal content.

✔ No pressure

We never push you to sell. Our business is built on fairness and reputation.

✔ No hidden fees

Your offer is the amount you take home — no deductions, cleaning fees, or other charges.

  • Holiday shopping season
