How to Evaluate Your Gold Before Selling

Before you sell your gold for cash, it’s essential to understand its value. Here are the key factors to consider:

1. Karats & Purity: Gold purity is measured in karats (k).
   • Most assets have a karat rating, which indicates how pure the metal is.
   • Pure gold is 24k, while other purities, such as, 18k, 14k, and 10k are mixed with other metals, making them less pure but more durable.
   • The higher the purity, the more valuable your gold will be.
2. Weight: Gold is priced per gram or per troy ounce (31.1 grams). Some jewelers also use pennyweights (1.555 grams per unit).
   • Use a jewelry scale to determine the weight of your gold before selling.
   • Knowing your gold’s weight helps ensure you receive a fair offer.
3. Condition:
   • Damaged gold and broken jewelry still hold value, but clean, well-preserved pieces may fetch a higher price.
   • Vintage or collectible gold jewelry could be worth more than just its melt value.
4. Get a Professional Appraisal: A professional gold appraisal ensures that you understand your asset’s worth before selling it.
   • An appraisal is especially important for rare or vintage pieces with potential historical value.
   • At Qollateral, we offer free, no-obligation gold appraisals with competitive offers.

Where to Sell Gold for the Best Price

After determining your gold’s value, the next step is choosing the best-selling method for your needs.

Jewelers vs. Gold Buyers vs. Asset Buyers

Selling gold in person is typically the fastest way to get paid. Here’s what to expect from different buyers:

• Jewelry Stores – Offer lower prices because they factor in resale value and refurbishing costs.
• Pawn Shops – Provide instant cash but often undervalue gold to maximize their profit margin.
• Specialized Gold Buyers – Typically offer higher payouts based on real-time market prices.
• Asset Buyers  & Luxury Collateral Lenders (like Qollateral) – Provide transparent pricing, professional appraisals, and top-dollar offers.

???? Tip: To get the best price, work with a gold buyer that values transparency and fair market pricing—like Qollateral.

Sell Gold for Cash Online vs. In-Person Sales

You can sell your gold for cash both online or in person. Both methods have advantages:

✔ In-Person Sales – Faster transactions and instant cash offers.
✔ Online Gold Selling – Convenient and accessible nationwide, but may take longer to process.

At Qollateral, we provide secure gold selling options both online and in person—helping you get paid quickly and safely.
