How To Sell Today

If you are looking to sell gold today, you must ensure that you follow the necessary steps to make a fair and safe deal.

Step 1: Identify a Reputable Gold Dealer

Although this step may seem simple and straightforward, this is the most important step and must not be overlooked. When looking for a reputable dealer, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The high price of gold has made selling your gold in Los Angeles more appealing than ever; however, not all dealers are honest and even fewer are transparent about their business practices. Before you decide on a specific dealer or even walk-in to a dealer’s office; make sure that you do your research, trust them on the phone and look into the following aspects of their business.

1. Reputation – The dealer should specialize in pre-owned gold jewelry including but not limited to, designer brands such as Tiffany, Cartier, and Harry Winston; gold coins, chains, bracelets, school rings, earrings, and more. If you have a lot of gold or jewelry, this should also not overwhelm the dealer. The dealer should feel comfortable and ultimately display his expertise. If a gold dealer has been around for years, they should have a loyal customer base, of which you can epxect them to be a fair and reputable/honest gold dealer as you approach them to sell your gold in Los Angeles. Also be sure to research their Yelp, Google, Ebay and Facebook reviews. This will show you other similar customer interactions.

2. Integrity, Honesty & Transparency – Even if you know the exact value of your gold jewelry (and always consider the pre-owned market value), you will still need to place trust into your gold dealer as you approach them to sell your gold. Their price offered in negotiation should feel honest and fair, while at the same time transparent and reflective of the price of gold.

3. Credibility – Do your research. Just because a local jeweler looks old and has been around fo ryears, does not mean that the business has a good rating with the better business beaurea.

What To Avoid

First Floor Dealers –If you are looking into selling your gold in the Los Angeles Downtown jewelry District on Hill St, never go to a first-floor vendor to sell your gold. That is, if you are looking for the best price, always stray away from a first-floor dealer, and instead rely on an online-first business that elects to display a transparent online-reputation. You will find that first-floor gold dealers/vendors/’we buy gold’ storefronts often do very quick in-person business and do not rely on their business reputation. If you were to actually research these first-floor vendors, you will find that their Google reviews, trust, credibility and reputation is often in bad standing. Thus, it is always important to visit a dealer on the 2nd floor and one that has a great online reputation with good reviews.

Step 2: Research The Price of Your Gold

Now that you’ve done your adequate research in finding a reputable and trustworthy gold dealer in Los Angeles, it is now time to gather pertinent information to help you determine the price of your gold. If you have any of the paperwork that goes with the jewelry, say a Tiffany certificate with a pair of earrings, it is important to bring these items in at this time.
