Below are some tips on how to sell your unwanted gold and have confidence that you did it the right way.

This is the way to sell your gold without risk - always follow these tips so you are the one in control of the situation.

First, ask the prospective buyer for a quote per gram weight, not pennyweight. If you go by gram weight you will get a more accurate figure, plus because it is more standard you'll be able to compare different offers to make the best choice.

Don't take one uniform price for all pieces. You want to be paid for different pieces based on the karats. Different items will have different purities and you want to be paid more for the items that are more pure. Ideally your buyer will test the items in front of you.

Some buyers will try to use aggressive scare tactics to get you to sell your items right away. Don't fall for this. They are probably trying to give you a low offer, and don't want you to be able to compare their offers with offers from other dealers.

If you are dealing with a reputable buyer, you will have an offer that they will agree to honor for a few days. Now, if gold prices change the offer will change, and that is legitimate. But you don't want an offer that is good in that moment only, that is probably a scam.

Don't hurry, especially if you have valuable pieces to sell. You are better off to do some research and check your options before you choose who to sell to. It will be time well spent.
