Quick & Safe Ways of Selling Gold Houston

Many people prefer selling their old, broken or mismatching pieces of gold jewelry and get safe cash on the spot rather than continuing to hold on to that. Yet, at times, there may not be aware where to sell gold Houston in a quick and safe manner. This is particularly true in case of golden dental caps, bullion and coins.


Local papers do carry ads suggesting consumers to visit a particular hotel where gold buyers usually come on a weekend for buying items in gold. You are least likely to get the best price for your stuff from such buyers. These buyers lack credentials and you would have problems locating them, should you ever a problem concerning your transaction.

Pawnbrokers usually pay quickly but they are used to very high margins of profit in their business. Normally, they operate on hundred percent profits, meaning if your item is worth say $100, you won’t get paid more than $50!

You have the option of selling your stuff through local jewelers but again you won’t get the best offer from them, though it will be better than what a pawnbroker would pay you. Jewelers would re-craft that gold, add a few precious or semi-precious stones therein and sell it at a higher price. You can’t expect them to pay the ongoing price of gold for your scrapped items.

Next, you may think of selling your gold items to refiners, but they are generally not keen to buy a couple of pieces that you want to sell. Some refiners have agents in town for buying gold on their behalf. So, the agent would keep his cut and you’ll have to locate a genuine dealer working for a refiner of gold.

Once you have eliminated the above sources to sell gold Houston, where are you going to sell it finally? As usual, the Internet comes to your rescue. If you carry a search for ‘gold buyer’ on the net you you’ll find scores of buyers willing to buy your items online.  In their case, it is important not to get carried away by slogans like “we offer the maximum price for you gold “or “we offer cash in the shortest possible time.”


It may take you sometime to complete your search but it is not difficult to locate a genuine buyer offering a fair price for your possessions. The basics of finding such a buyer are the same as if you were buying some product online. You would naturally go through the reviews posted by other clients on buyer’s website. You most reliable source of information concerning reputation of such dealers is the website of the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau. You’ll come to know of the kind of complaints against any gold buyer and if the same were resolved. Further, you are also informed about the rates of different buyers and the guarantee they offer.
