How to sell gold: 5 steps to a smart, stress-free sale
If you're new to the gold-selling process and unsure how to begin, the idea of finding a reputable jeweler, and ensuring your pieces are appraised appropriately, can be daunting.
Before you embark on your mission, we recommend considering the following five steps:
1. Check your inventory.
Gather the gold you're ready to sell. This could include not only fine jewelry, but gold coins and even broken, scrap pieces.
Assess your gold for a stamp indicating the karat weight (e.g., 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K).
2. Research gold prices.
The price of gold isn't set in stone. In fact, it fluctuates daily.
Check the current market rate to understand the potential price ranges for your pieces. By staying informed, you can avoid any unfair offers and understand the factors that may influence your payout.
3. Find the best buyer.
When looking for places that buy gold near you, prioritize jewelers with established reputations and honest practices. For example, Lux Bond & Green has a storied history serving New England communities, appraising pieces with care to provide accurate, competitive offers without the pressure tactics employed by other jewelers.
4. Get multiple offers (if needed).
Many people looking to sell gold have their pieces appraised by multiple jewelers.
A reputable gold buyer will never fault you for doing your due diligence. When you choose Lux Bond & Green, you can trust that our quotes will capture the full value of your pieces.
5. Pick a payment method.
After you've accepted your offer, you will receive payment immediately in the form of a check or store credit.
Lux Bond & Green ensures this process is discreet and straightforward so you can sell your gold with peace of mind.

Selling gold: FAQ
Where is the best place to sell my gold?
The best place to sell your pieces is with a premier jeweler known for providing accurate appraisals, transparent pricing, and prompt payment.
To safeguard yourself against exploitative sales, do the footwork: know your carats, stay up to date on market prices, and read reviews before selecting a jeweler.
What is the best way to sell my gold?
To sell your gold, work with an in-the-know professional with a thorough understanding of quality standards and market trends. We recommend avoiding pawn shops, mail-in services, or any other avenues that may undervalue your items.
Is it better to pawn or sell my gold?
Whereas selling your gold gives you immediate, full payment, pawning it involves borrowing against the item's value and paying interest. This means that selling your gold to a jeweler will yield a higher payout than pawining it.
