It is easy to sell a broken gold chain. By becoming informed about the gold industry, you can ensure that when you sell a gold chain, you will receive the most money.
Sell a Gold Chain
There are many individuals who are looking to sell a gold chain but do not know where to start. The first place you should begin is to finding the market price for gold. This information can be found by locating companies that buy and sell gold on the Internet. By knowing the current price of gold, you can make sure that you are getting the most money for your items.
Next, you should understand how your gold items are going to be priced by the buyers. The gold buyer will weight your items and also verify the type of gold. There are four types of gold that are used in making jewelry, which are 10k, 14k, 18k, and 24k. The purest form of gold is 24k and items that have this kind will bring the highest price from the buyer. To find out what kind of gold your items have, locate the marking on the clasp of necklaces and bracelets, the inside of rings, or the post of earrings.
Only Deal With A Reputable Gold Buyer
Finally, you need to locate a reputable gold buyer. You can use a major search engine or online yellow pages directory to find gold buyers. The search results will contain companies such as online gold buyers, pawn shops and jewelry stores. An online gold buyer is the best company to deal with, as pawn shops and jewelry stores require large amounts of your time and will offer you a low.
A reputable online gold buyer will also have a satisfaction guarantee on their website and also a great reputation with their previous customers. To find out the reputation of an online gold buyer, visit as many blogs, review sites and forums to read about previous customer experiences.
The right information about the gold industry is paramount to receiving the most money for your items. Before you sell a broken gold chain, make sure you have this knowledge in order to get the highest price from the gold buyer.

QUESTION:
How do I sell gold chain?
I bought a 24K gold chain and a 24K gold dragon carved pendant several years ago. I got them at a jewelry shop and they come with a certificate of 24K gold from that shop. It was about 0 back then. Now, I want to sell them. Where could I sell them? And how much would they sell for? I live in the U.S.-
ANSWER:
If you're selling for the gold value only, than it goes by weight. If you're selling for the aesthetics of the jewelery, than it can go much higher than the cost of the gold, just as it did years ago when you bought it.Ebay or other such site would be your best bet. Ebay has the best reputation, and I highly suggest you open a Paypal account and use that as the only method of acceptable payment. This is the safest method of money transfer on ebay for both buyer and seller.
For a starting/reserve price to list the jewelry at, you could pay the cost of an appraisal, but that probably won't be cost effective for such a small piece. You could, if you wish, consult two or three pawn shops. This should give you an idea of the minimum value at least. Some mom & pop jewelry stores may give you a rough estimate without charging appraisal fees. It couldn't hurt to ask.

QUESTION:
Where can I sell gold chains and rings in Edmonton? One chain in particular wieghs about 4 ounces.?Without going to a pawn shop which would come nowhere near the value of what gold is worth on the market these days. I saw on the news people were taking chains and rings in but not to pawnshops. I am now divotrced and will never wear the gold he gave me. Both yellow and white gold.
-
ANSWER:
Gold can be re-melted and used again and again. And, gold works for everyone. The gold price is based on pure gold, but most jewelry isn't pure and is often between 10 and 18 karats, which reduces the price by 40% to 70%. Shops who purchase gold jewelry also take a percentage.Independant Jewellers do purchase gold jewelry as a trade in on new purchases. I would give them a call to find out who does buy without having to trade it in on new.
Design Jewellers in West Edmonton Mall - #2874 West Edmonton Mall ( (780) 489-0079) buy old gold. You could call and make an app't to have them appraise your jewelry.
Iron Cross Antiques & Jewellery Ltd (780) 952-2900 in Alberta Avenue purchase gold along with antiques. They even make house calls.
The other options are selling them privately. Most purchasers want an appraisal with it though. You could try selling them by any of the following methods:
Advertising in the Edmonton Journal, Sun or Examiner
Online at www.Kijiji.ca
Or selling them on consignment at some of the jewelers. They will of course take a percentage of the selling price but it may be the next best thing to outright selling to a shop and less hassle then advertising and selling yourself.
There is a list of shops at the following website - pick some of the ones that have higher end clothing and call them.http://www.foundlocally.com/edmonton/Personal/GoodsThrift.htm
Hopefully I have been able to give you some options. Before selling to anyone make sure you know the approximate value of your items ( especially since gold prices have gone up dramatically in the last little while) May I suggest one more thing - many people who divorce and have jewelry have had them made into custom made new jewelry.
Good Luck.

also, if i finally get someone to buy, do I collect cheque or cashthanks all
-
ANSWER:
Call around to jewellery stores but be careful. Earlier this week on the news they did a story about how these gold buying companies are only paying on average 40-50% of the value of the gold. But it varies from company to company. So shop around and don't take the first offer. And watch this - while it is a US clip it applies to the UK as well

QUESTION:
Gold chain, bracelets: How do you sell them?
I've got a couple ounces worth of gold in chains and bracelets. What's the best way to sell it now that gold is worth ,000 an ounce?-
ANSWER:

But what makes them different from the other cash for gold places is that they will call you and give you an appraisal before they send you the monet. So if you dont like the amount of money they will send your jewelry back. No harm no foul.There website is http://www.americangoldandsilverexchange.com

QUESTION:
Trying to sell gold chain?
Hi. I'm trying to sell my 24K gold chain, which is about 27grams (about 0.87 troy ounces), as gold but not as accessory. I got it when the gold price was about 0/troy ounce. And as of April 20, it's over 00/troy ounce. So, I'd like to sell it now. I wondered if anyone knows where I can try to sell it and how much it would be. I'm sure that stores wouldn't pay at the exact gold market price, because they would like to take some profit out of it.The reason that I'm asking this question is that I brought this chain to the shop where I had purchased it to see how much it would be worth. The market price of this product was about 0 at that time, but the store owner said that she could buy it back at 0. They were trying to make 0 out of it. That's a little too much, I think. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance!

QUESTION:
Im tryin to sell a gold chain, how much can i get?
One of my guy friends gave it to me but i dont wear big chains like that. So how much money do u think i can get for it ?-
ANSWER:
It depends on what gold it is (10k, 14k) and how much it weighs.
Don't do those "We buy gold" on TV, take it to a local pawn shop. They will tell you what it's worth or at least how much you can get for it.Don't be shocked if it is a low offer, though. Take it to 2 or 3 shops for the best possible offer.

QUESTION:
If I want to sell a gold chain, where is the best place to do this without having to mail it away?
I'd prefer to take it to jewelers who buy gold rather than just send it off but I am not sure if jewelers just buy gold like this. Are there any places that just by gold by a per ounce price?I bought a white gold chain about 15 years ago for about 0 that based on today's gold prices I am sure is worth a lot more than that. I am not desperate to sell or anything so I will only sell for a decent price, but I would like to see if its worth selling.
Thanks.
-
ANSWER:
it's probably not worth even 0 to anyone buying gold jewelry - gold jewelry is marked up a LOT - like 3-5 times the cost of it - and the actual gold in it is not worth a whole lot and anyone you sell to, is NOT going to give you the "spot" price - the "carats" of the gold also greatly affects the price 10kt vs 14 kt, etc - don't be surprised if you only get offered or something like thatgold jewelry is NOT pure gold, for places buying gold jewelry, they have a price per gram based on the karat of the gold and those prices can change daily as the price of gold changes

QUESTION:
which is better place to sell gold chain in india or u.s.a?-
ANSWER:
Gold has a simple worldwide level based on the spot price as published in many newspapers and other media outlets. You should expect to receive at least that amount in a sale. However, marketing makes a big difference in regards to the location you are selling the gold chain in. India has a strong preference for 22k and 24k gold accessories. Items of lower carat quality sell poorly as culturally most indians will not consider lower purity items being gold. In the US it is often the opposite. 22k and 24k gold is considered too soft for daily use and too expensive to purchase. 14k, 18k, and even 10k/12k gold can sell well.

QUESTION:
Where to sell my gold chain (18K)?
I have 2 18 karat gold chains that i never use, so i'm thinking about selling them. I heard on the news, that 24K is at 1,000 an oz. and i think 750 an oz for 18k. The chains are in great condition, but if i decided to sell it online (ebay or amazon) should the cost of gold at this time affect my price or would it be sold as used jewelry. would it be better to sell to a jewelry store or refining company? Whom would pay for the value of gold at the time. I'm not sure how i can make the most profit, any thoughts?
by the way, is it safe to send jewelry through USPS?-
ANSWER:
I would take it to a jewelry store and have it appraised. Then maybe go to eBay. What ever way you send it insure it!

QUESTION:
If i sell an ebay item which is a gold chain i just put 25g not specifically 25grams can i be sued?
It does not weigh 25grams i weighed wrong but i realised i didnt actually say its weight anywhere
What has happened is i have sold this i had put 25g but i didnt mean to honestly the person who brought it is now messaging me saying it doesnt weigh 25grams! but no where have i actually put "grams". What should i do?-
ANSWER:
If you said it was 25g, then you most certainly *did* say its weight. Just like if you'd said something was 25 lb you would have said it weighs 25 pounds, or if you said something was 25 kg it would be expected to weigh 25 kilograms. The lower case letter "g" is very well understood to be the abbreviation for "grams".What you need to do is go in and edit your auction listing, or add an additional comment if you can't edit your original words.

QUESTION:
Where can I sell gold safely in San Diego?
I have some broken gold chains and earrings and would like to sell them. I'm afraid of going into a bad area in San Diego where the pawn shops are. Can any one suggest a safe place where they have sold gold? Much appreciated.-
ANSWER:
I sold some jewelry last week to a jeweler in Rancho Penasquitos. My husband found him on a site www.sellgoldsandiego.com He was easy to get to, in a great neighborhood, good parking and I was satisfied with what he paid. They were friendly and I felt safe there. You might get a dollar or two more or less somewhere else, but I would highly recommend them. To me it wasn't worth the trouble (or the gas money) to drive all over the place pricing things out. Name of the place is Richard West Jewelers but if you go the www.sellgoldsandiego.com you'll get travel directions etc. Best of luck!

QUESTION:
i have this gold chain necklace i want to sell. where in irvington nj i can found a place to sell it?
i have those places that weight to jewelery to sell thats not fair because the jewelery might weight less but was cost alot of money-
ANSWER:
They weight it so they know the amount of metal inside. Just because you paid a lot for it doesn't mean you'll get a lot for it. It's kind of driving a new car off the lot... as soon as you do, a good chunk of the price is gone. Jewelry works the same way.

Best company to sell my gold to?
I have 2 gold items, a solid gold indian head the size of a thumb (weird gift from cousin in peru) and my other item is a simple gold chain that i will never wear. Both are gold and i've heard of cash4gold and all the others but which will give me the most money? I need the money!!!
Yeah, i just read that all these gold companies are scammers. I'll sell my gold to this guy in new york who might give the best offer.-
ANSWER:
Before you get your hopes up, consider that the items might be only gold plated. Does the coin say it is solid gold? (usually says something like .999 fine) Does the chain have a K marking? 12K is only 50% gold,18K is 75% gold.You will get the best price in a private sale, someone that wants to invest in gold.

QUESTION:
Sell for Gold or Sell on Ebay?
My mom has some old jewlery that she no longer wears and has asked me to sell it on Ebay for her (as she doesn't know how to use it). There are 3 gold chains, 2 gold bracelets, a gold band, a diamond and gold anniversary band and a pair of topaz and diamond earrings. I planned to sell the anniversary band and earrings on Ebay but sould I sell the chains to somewhere for just the gold or sell them on Ebay too? I want to get the most I can for my mom. Thanks for your help-
ANSWER:
First, see what the current going price for gold is (per ounce). Then weigh your jewelry on an accurate jeweler's scale. Then multiply the weight by the going price of gold. After that, look at similar items on ebay. If the items are selling for more on ebay, sell them there. If it is better to sell them for the gold, do that. If you do sell them of ebay, make sure that you call it both jewelry and scrap gold so you can get buyers of both to look at it.
