How to Get the Best Price from a Gold Jewellery Buyer

Published by Post My Gold at December 26, 2016

No-one wants to feel like they have been cheated when they sell their gold, so here are some tips to make sure you get the best price from your gold jewellery buyer.

Gold is a precious thing and, should you choose to sell it, you want to make sure you get the right price. However, from time to time, untrustworthy gold buyers might try to buy your gold for much less than it is worth. How can you avoid this? How can you find an honest and fair gold jewellery buyer? Here are our top tips.

1. Know the Value of Your Gold

There is only a limited amount of gold in the world and so, as a result, gold holds its value much better than currencies do. Gold is always desirable, so never trust any gold buyer who tries to tell you that your gold isn’t worth anything.

Better yet, before you sell your gold, try to find out independently how much your gold is worth. You won’t be able to get an exact estimate without going to an expert. However, it’s worth doing some research yourself for your own peace of mind. Many reputable business publications, such as Forbes and Bloomberg, track the value of gold with news stories and stock market updates. Be sure to at least familiarise yourself with the value of your gold before you sell it.

2. Go to a Reputable Gold Jewellery Buyer

This is easier said than done, as many buyers may appear reputable at first.

At Post My Gold, however, we send out our gold pack pouches for free. After sending it to us, we will give you our best quote within 24 hours. If you find a better quote for your gold, we can beat it. If don’t want to sell your gold to us, we will send it back to you free of charge.

Unreputable gold buyers have been known to force payments on customers by using aggressive tactics, such as restrictive time-frames. We don’t condone this behaviour and we don’t engage in it. At Post My Gold, we offer a service which you can trust. We are experts at what we do and we have paid out over four million pounds for unwanted gold and platinum, using an open and transparent approach to gold trading.

3. Make Sure That You Go With a Price Match Guarantee

Not all gold jewellery buyers offer a price match guarantee, but we do. We’re proud to be able to beat the price of any of our competitors. When you sell your gold, be sure that the buyer you choose can back up their offer with a price match guarantee. Don’t accept second-best for your gold, platinum, or precious metal.

4. Search Every Corner of Your Home

You’ll be surprised how much gold there is in the average British person’s home simply gathering dust. The kind of gold buried away in your attic is exactly the kind of gold you should be selling. After all, if you’ve forgotten all about it, then it’s clear it’s unwanted.

No matter what condition your gold is in, we can guarantee you the best price. Our gold jewellery buyers are experts who have been buying unwanted gold and precious metals for years at a fair and reasonable price. We believe in complete customer satisfaction. That’s why we offer our price match guarantee and can give you a no-obligation quote within 24 hours.
