Selling gold and silver ...... advice please.
25 Answers
I have been sorting out old necklaces, rings and earrings, some broken, gold and silver ones, which I am keen to sell while the prices are at their highest level.... What are the pitfalls? How can a company be trusted and how do you know you are not being ripped off?
What is the current price of gold (mainly 9 carat) and silver 925 please, I have looked on the internet and get all kinds of differing prices.
Has anyone sold through a reputable company? we have a firm coming to a hotel in our town this week, to buy gold and silver, who have a business in Mayfair, London. Not sure what to do ............

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've taken jewellery round our local jewellers but they buy gold and silver by weight, so the prices are very similar. I wouldn't send it to one of those companies in the mail. You could check out your jewellers (just ask what they'd pay you IF you wanted to sell) before going to the hotel and doing the same. I'd shop around.
i don't see why you can't but if you weigh them at home and get a good idea of the weight most jewellers have a sign in their window or even outside sometimes saying how much an ounce they pay. moneysaving expert have advice on it

I have sold through a company called Lois in the Birmingham jewellery quarter they were really helpful to the point of highlighting which items would have a higher value sold separately

at the time I sold they were offering some of the best prices and I would gladly use them again

Last week, I took a collection of bits of jewellery to The Money Shop in our local town. I got £285 for things I never wear or were broken.
I then went to a jewellers and put the money down as a deposit for some pink sapphire and diamond earrings. My husband will pay the rest when he goes in to buy them for me for Christmas. I will wear them.
I did go to three 'gold buyers and they were all more or less the same.
When you go to the Money Shop, if you have one, you need to take your passport for I.D.

If you go to Hatton Garden in London, Go to Cooksons Metals.
They give market prices.
I have sold via them several times.
On my first trip to Hatton Garden ...
Went into a small shop and chap offered me £250 for my gold.
Walked into Cooksons next door and got £375 market rate.
Google Cooksons for market rates and compare with them.
