- 1). Gather up your gold and visit a reputable jewelry store. Nicely crafted gold jewelry, especially old pieces, are often worth more than the gold itself. You may get a better price from a jeweler who appreciates the value of your items. The websites for the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers and the American Society of Appraisers provide contact information for credentialed appraisers.
- 2). Visit a pawn broker. He will examine and weigh your gold and offer a specific amount of money for your gold. He will usually pay cash on the spot.
- 3). Browse the Internet for online brokers who are willing to buy your gold. You send your gold to the broker in a prepaid envelope, and the broker will mail you a check. Research the broker before you do any business with the firm. Make sure the broker is a member of the Better Business Bureau and has a street address.
- 4). Attend an in-home gold party, where guests bring their old and scrap gold and a distributor offers cash on the spot. These home parties are becoming increasingly popular.
- 5). Contact a company that will send a courier to your door to pick up your gold. The company will contact you and tell you what it is willing to pay for your gold. It will then offer various methods of payment, such as PayPal and direct deposit. Check out the company's credentials beforehand and make sure your transaction is insured.
