Sell Gold Seattle

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Best place In Seattle Washington To sell my gold?
   Hi, I want to know, whats a good high paying place to sell my gold or scrap? and how much is it per gram? thanks!!

   • ANSWER:
     It may be hard to believe at first, but local buyers such as jewelers or pawn shops can often be the WORST place to sell. Of course, they are not as bad as the "hotel events" or "gold parties", but they usually do not pay the best. I would recommend checking with the Silver and Gold Exchange. Why? Because they publish the prices the pay on their website at http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com and the are also Better Business Bureau Accredited with a spotless record. They will even rent you a scale for free if you want to weigh your gold before sending it in, and they pay for trackable Priority Mail shipping and up to 00 insurance. Best of all, they will contact you with an offer as soon as they receive your items... and if you aren't happy, they will send your stuff right back to you for free... much different than the way the other online buyers operate.

2. QUESTION:
   which banks in seattle,washington sell gold?

   • ANSWER:
     I have never heard of a bank that ever sold gold. You go to banks for CDs, savings accounts, checking accounts, loans, etc - bank stuff.

     You can buy gold online. Or you can buy gold thru a coin dealer. That is where I bought my Kruggerands.

3. QUESTION:

   • ANSWER:
     I sold mine on http://www.mycashforgold.info

4. QUESTION:
   Is crown hill stamp and coins a good place to buy gold?
   i am thinking of buying some coins from them.If anyone knows a good gold shop in Seattle please put it down.i would like it to sell gold bullion bars too

   • ANSWER:
     If you want to buy gold, go to a coin show where there are at least 20 or 30 dealers set up. This avoids postage and insurance, delivery problems, scams, delay, and possible misunderstandings. Seattle is bound to have a couple such shows per year. Likewise, get acquainted with some of the bullion dealers at the same coin show; selling bars is not always so simple, whereas the bullion coins like Eagles, Maple Leafs, Philharmonics, Pandas, and Krugerrands find a ready market. I wouldn't dream of buying gold coins through the mail; you want competition among sellers, i.e., the coin show environment. To find shows, read Coin World.

     By the way, this answer has nothing against "Crown Hill," whoever they are. Stay with the big coin shows. Also, don't get followed out the door and mugged in the parking lot; yes, it happens. Take friends with you.

     You can check bullion and bulk-coin prices two places, www.kitco.com and www.tulving.com also see www.coinflation.com

7. QUESTION:
   Where's the best place to sell my diamond ring?
   I live in Seattle and want to sell my engagement ring from my first marriage. It's a mid-grade quality but colorless and brilliant cut, very stunning 3/4 ct diamond in a white gold antique filigree setting. I tried Craigslist but no bites, and I would never get my money's worth on EBay. I also took it to a pawn shop, who offered me 10% of its actual value.

   So my question is, can anyone recommend the best place to sell an unwanted diamond ring? Preferably in the Seattle area, if possible.

   Thanks!!

   • ANSWER:
     Best place to sell your ring is probably empire gold, you can also get a free price quote from them.

8. QUESTION:
   Sin Soo Choo, the most complete player since? Why is he so underrated?
   Ok, he's got everything an amazing arm (were talking about the top 10 in baseball history) A phenomenal and consistent bat with lots of pop, he's a gold glove right fielder and can run like lightning I'm just wondering why he is so underrated, i mean if you are that good you're gonna get noticed.

   Examples of famous players on bad teams-
   Felix Hernandez
   Miguel Cabrera
   Andrew Mccuthcen
   Pedro Alvarez
   Hanley Ramirez
   Dan uggla
   Ryan Braun
   Prince Fielder

   This makes no sense how these player get noticed and Choo does not. What makes it even stranger is that the Indians sell out every game so its not like hes playing in Seattle, or Miami

   • ANSWER:
     Shin-Soo Choo is a good hitter, but not a great hitter. .300/22 homers/90 RBIs makes him clearly the best player at Cleveland, but really doesn't compare to stars on other teams. Maybe with a better supporting cast, but he was also the only player on the team good enough to play more than 122 games last season.

     BTW, the Indians do NOT sell out every game. Last year their average attendance was 17,181 per game, which was the *worst* in the American League.

9. QUESTION:
   What would the average retail price be for '98 Camry with consideration to options etc?
   Ok. So I was in an accident this last Friday and I want to make sure that when my car is appraised that I'm actually getting a fair price. I'm hoping that by asking this question I could get some answers from either someone who currently sells cars at a car lot of some sort, or someone who used to sell cars at a car lot, or someone who just knows a LOT about this stuff, so here's everything I would consider pertinent to the price of the car if I would've sold it myself (I've looked at a lot of used cars private party before):

   1998 Maroon (Dark Red) Camry LE, 4D (not the V6)
   It has about 102,000miles on it, and 75% of the last 13,000miles were highway (driving from Spokane, WA to Seattle, WA)
   It came with all of the standard factory options, it's additional options are:
   Gold package (it has the gold emblems instead of the silver)
   Fog Lights
   Moon roof that slides and tilts (and has sun/wind reflector cover)
   Alloy Wheels
   Mud Flaps
   The upgraded entertainment package which includes AM/FM radio, cassette, Single CD player, 6 speakers (I believe 4 are regular and 2 are tweeters, but it's all manufacture Toyota stuff)
   Toyota VIP Security System (I have the beeper for it)

   Other additional information I would include would be that I have 4 Yokohama iG20 snow tires for it which have only had one season and the current tires are all weather and still in good condition. I have ALL the owner's manuals (the owner manual, supp owner manual part 1&2, the VIP owner manual). I also have a Haynes Repair Manual for it. The spare tire is still intact. Before I bought it in Feb 2008, the car had only had one owner (ie I'm the second owner) and it has a clean title, all of which can be verified by carfax. I have kept a record of all the oil changes it has had since I bought it in Feb 08, it had 85,456 when I bought it, I changed the oil at 90,989 in Aug 08, I changed it at 94,917 in Jan 09, I changed it at 98,895 on May 15, 09.

   Also, on May 15, 2009, I had a TON of tune-up/service work done. The spark plugs were replaced (iridium plug, dual tip), the fuel filter was replaced, the air filter was replaced, some sort of wires were replaced, the invoice sheet says Tailor Mag Cor Wires, it has a Minor tune up of Electronic Ignition, the transmission fluid was replaced, it says Belt ALT which I would assume means the Alternator belt was replaced?, it says Belt STG which I would assume means the steering belt was replaced?, the timing belt was replaced, the engine front oil seals were replaced which I believe includes the camshaft and crankshaft oil seals, the water pump was replaced, and the antifreeze/coolant was changed. I have the invoice for all of this and the receipt showing I paid for it; the total ended up being 53.26.

   As far as it's interior and exterior condition, I would obviously shampoo the carpets and clean everything if i was selling it, but I'm not sure if the appraiser will take that into consideration, the drivers side carpet has a fair amount of dirt stains due to the fact that the car was missing the floor mats when I bought it and I spend my winters in muddy, sandy, snowing Spokane, WA. However I have no idea how much of that would come out. Other than that the interior is in good condition for it's age. The exterior shows some minor wear and tear, the driver door was keyed but it's not too bad, very light and superficial, I have one fairly bad scrape with a dent, someone at the University obviously scraped me while parking, however, I would estimate no more than 0 repair, other than that the only other exterior issues are two small dings in the windshield and some teeny, tiny paint dings on the front and hood area just from lots of highway driving and driving on sanded roads. Speaking of sanded and salted roads, while the roads were salty and sandy here in Spokane this last winter I took my car in to be washed, with an undercarriage wash about every other week. Oh, I also have a set of regular tire chains with some rust on them, but they're still good, only used them this last season, oh, and I would include a set of jumper cables.

   I have 1 clicker for the alarm system and I believe I have at least 4 sets of keys to the car. In my humble and biased opinion, the car is worth at LEAST ,000, I mean, I paid 6,030 for it back in Feb 08, but that's because I had cash on hand and the guy selling from a small used car lot it thought it was a CE, not an LE (which it is, a Toyota dealership verified based on the VIN) and the guy didn't realize it had only had one owner. They had their listing price as ,995.

   Truly, I want my car to be fixed and not declared a total loss, but that's going to be difficult considering both the airbags deployed. However, it seems that the only non-structural damage (ie the front bumper destroyed, the hood slightly crumpled) the only damage they think is sustained is a broken windshield washer reservoir. So, if ANYONE can help me figure out ho

   • ANSWER:
     The car also is 11 years old and has 102,000 miles. If you paid ,000 for it a year and a half ago from a dealer, what makes you think it is worth more than that. I was a car dealer and in my opinion it is not worth more than ,000. Usually insurance companies pay more than cars are worth so just wait and see what they come up with. You might be surprised.

10. QUESTION:
    R&P: What do you think of the band "Modest Mouse"?
    Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1993 in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, Washington by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy. Since their 1996 debut album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, their lineup has centered around Brock, Green and Judy. Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) joined the band in May 2006, along with percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in February 2009.

    The band has accrued significant mainstream success since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2001 and have been one of the leading bands in the commercialization of indie rock, beginning with The Moon & Antarctica and Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which have been certified gold and platinum by the RIAA respectively. They have gone on to sell over three million records since. Elements of Modest Mouse's early sound have been likened to or inspired by that of Pixies and numerous other alternative rock and space rock bands. Their name is derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story "The Mark on the Wall" which reads, "I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises."

11. QUESTION:
    Could this piano be worth something?
    It's an upright. Says 1879 mfd by Weser Bros Newyork on the top part, then lower it has
    Seaverns Gold Medal and there's a little seal looking image that says 1909 Seattle Exposition (and I believe there were a few other cities on that seal).
    It's got a greenish wash color to it.
    I only hit one key (didn't want to bug folks) but it played. Assuming it actually works, could it be of some value? It's being sold for at Salvation Army.
    (It's probably not even worth that, but just checking! It looks so antique...I can picture someone playing it in a saloon or something...haha!)

    • ANSWER:
      as long as it sounds good and you really like it just check for any defects or damage to the piano other than that go for it !

    bar_enosh- I couldn't agree more. We are all imperfect, and it is Jehovah that will read our hearts in the end.

    • ANSWER:
      Many of those people are questionable. Because someone "was" one of Jehovah's Witnesses, or even "raised" a Witness is meaningless unless they continue to follow the path of Jesus Christ.

      And one mentioned as "lapsed," Firpo Carr, has for some time been reinstated and continues active as a Witness.

      The final judgment is in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ, who judges on Jehovah's behalf.

      In the meantime, all that any of us can do is to endure in faith, following closely the footsteps of Christ, our Exemplar.
