Selling My Gold For Cash

By Hal Young

With a bad economy people are on the lookout for new ways to make money. One of these ways that people use to make extra spending cash is selling gold. That is why the question how can I sell my gold gets brought up quite a bit. Your gold could be old gold jewelry, coins, or any other scrap gold but they might have. While it may sound easy at first, unfortunately it is not all that easy to get your actual gold's value. And not only that, you also have to be on the lookout for all the con artists out there that are looking to ripoff people new to the field. In the following article I will explain how you can sell your gold for cash easily and safely while avoiding any scammers that might be out there.

Before you do anything else you should probably figure out how much your gold is worth. You do this because there are many people looking to scam you have there in the gold selling field, so if you have a ballpark figure about much your gold is worth beforehand, you are much less likely to be taken advantage of. You can do this in one of two ways: by yourself following a guide or taking your gold straight to a jewelry store or pawnshop. Easiest of the two is definitely the latter.

When you finally figure out how much the gold is worth you can go about finding a gold buyer. There are plenty of gold buyers out there in fact may be overwhelming at the number there are. Just keep in mind that you need to research any company that you may think about selling to beforehand is so you don't get ripped off.

For people with scrap gold to sell, the best place to sell to is almost certainly a gold refiner or gold dealer. Both will buy your gold based off the spot price of gold but gold refiners own their own refinery and most gold dealers do not. In most cases you are better off selling to a gold refiner. Try to get at least 90% or more of the current spot price of gold. It is easier to get that amount if you've got a lot to sell because most gold refiners pay based on a sliding scale.

If you have any gold jewelry and you think it might be worth more than just the gold content in the piece, you should probably think about selling to a gold jeweler or pawnshop. At very least they will confirm if it is actually worth more than the gold content in the piece. If it is you will certainly get more than what you'd get from a gold refiner or dealer.

And finally if you're looking to sell gold coins the best place is probably straight to a coin dealer. Some older coins might have more value than just the gold in them so selling to a gold coin dealer who can appraise them is usually better than selling to a gold refiner.

That's all there is to "selling my gold". If you will follow the advice listed above you will be able to sell gold easily and safely. Just remember the major points like researching companies before dealing with them. - 23222
