How Can I Sell Gold Jewelry Online?
You may have heard that gold prices are up, and this may have you thinking about whether or not to sell gold jewelry you have lying around. It can be good idea, but many people don’t know where to sell jewelry and get a good price for it. We have some advice for you if you have gold for sale and are looking for a place to sell it online.
When you sell gold jewelry, be aware that you’re often selling it to be melted down. If this gives you a pang, because the piece has sentimental value or is especially attractive, you might be better off looking for jewelry buyers locally, or for an online site that sells consignment jewelry. The same holds true if the jewelry itself is worth more than the value of the gold from which it’s made. It’s a good idea to take your jewelry to be appraised before you make the decision to sell the gold. You may find out that you have a valuable antique on your hands, or that you have some pieces that aren’t made of real gold but have intrinsic value of their own.
However, if you don’t have valuable jewelery and would like to make some money from the gold, start by looking in your jewelry box for tangled chains you may not be wearing. Other likely sources of gold include wedding and engagement rings, class rings, earrings, and bracelets. Even tooth fillings that have fallen out can have enough gold to be worth selling.
You can sell gold locally, or you can sell it online. The advantage of a local sale is that you will probably be able to get your money quickly, if not immediately. When you’re selling online, you’ll have to send your items to them with prepaid postage and wait for an offer. If you accept the offer, the company will send you a check, but if you don’t, you’ll have to pay for the postage when they ship your items back.
Selling scrap gold can be profitable, especially because gold is valued at a high price right now. You can find the price of gold online, but it typically refers to 24k gold. In jewelry, you’ll typically find 10k, 14k, and 18k gold, so that price won’t be accurate. Once you find a reputable gold buyer online, you can look on their site and there will probably be a gold calculator so that you can work out the gold content in your jewelry, along with an approximate price for the gold. That way, you’ll have a general idea before you send it off for an appraisal.
