If you own gold jewelry, coins, or scrap gold you can sell these old items for an efficient and simple way to bulk up your bank account. However, there are a few things that you should be cognizant of before you decide to sell your gold in order to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible:

Always check the current price of gold.
The price of gold fluctuates on a day-to-day basis, so it is important to find out the current price of gold to make sure that the buyer who you decide to sell your gold it is giving you the best deal possible. Gold prices are easy to find online, and are assessed using troy ounces, a type of measurement used to measure precious metals. The buyer will take into account the karat and the weight of your gold items to assess the price.
High gold prices won’t last forever.
Over the past several years the price of gold has risen sharply. For this reason, experts suggest that you sell now, while the price level remains at a high that hasn’t been observed by analysts in decades. However, as more people sell gold the price will decline, so if you’ve been thinking about selling your old gold, don’t wait too long before doing so.
Selling gold online is often a risky venture.
Online gold buyers require that you mail your gold items to them, risking that your items never reach the final destination or get lost in the mail. Furthermore, it is impossible to be sure that you’re getting the best price with online buyers, and once they have your jewelry in order to appraise it you can’t get it back. To ensure that you are getting the best price, find a store that buys gold and take your items in to be appraised in person.
All gold buyers are not created equal.
Keep in mind that gold buying is a business, and buyers are interested in making a profit. While some businesses take advantage of their customers, others do care that the customer gets a fair price for his or her gold. Before deciding on a store, research it on a site like Yelp on which you can view the comments and reviews of other customers. This way, you will know that you are dealing with an honest, reputable buyer before you go.
Timing can be everything when selling precious metals. After the January dip in prices and subsequent peak in February, the volatility of the price of gold seemed to be looming over investors. However, reports from New York earlier today noted a sharp rise in gold prices this morning, and these prices have held up very well over the entirety of the past week. Silver has also remained stable since it hit a 31-year high price earlier this week. These reports have put investors at ease and are making it the perfect time to for anyone to sell old jewelry.
Considering selling your old gold? Why not now? Holding onto old gold and silver can be detrimental if you want to maximize your profit with the unpredictability of price fluctuations. While predicting the price of gold can be a seemingly impossible task, analysts agree that now is an excellent time for the price of gold.
Your gold ‘trash’ can become treasure when you sell it for cash. Let the old, unused gold and silver collecting dust in your jewelry box work for you today while the price of these precious metals remains high. What you can do with all of the cash you get for your gold?
On Wednesday morning, March 30, gold prices reached an unbelievable rate of $1,429.75 per ounce. Analysts believe the latest jobs report might be partially responsible for this "high water mark." How much longer will gold, silver, and other key commodities sell at high value? The answer is uncertain; some experts suggest that, as the economy improves, the stability of gold prices will falter. Other economists make opposite predictions.
What do these complicated economic trends mean for you? Essentially, if you own gold jewelry, artwork, or collectibles that you have been considering trading in for cash, now may be THE time to pull the trigger, assuming you want to optimize your return on investment.
By liquidating gold for cash now, you can use your freed-up funds to pay down any federal or California state taxes you might owe, pay off credit card debts, and stock up your IRAs for 2010 (while there's still time) to minimize your 2010 tax consequences.
On a more fun note… the money you get from trading gold for cash can be used to buy “treats” for yourself and your family over the summer. For instance, maybe you can use the proceeds you collect for selling mismatched jewelry, broken chains, estate jewelry, and scrap gold to pay for a well-deserved vacation to Belize.
Or perhaps you can trade in antique silver teapots, gold flatware, or even dental gold to pay for two weeks of summer camp for your children (i.e. two weeks of blessed “free time” for you and your spouse).
At Joe’s Gold and Silver, a family owned and operated business with a terrific reputation, we guarantee to pay more for your gold and silver than anyone else. Call us today at 818-JOE-GOLD, or visit any one of our four California locations in Encino, Hawaiian Gardens, Lawndale, or Beverly Hills.
