How to sell your gold:

1. For the most control in the selling of your gold, head to a local coin or gold reseller. These businesses know the ins and outs when it comes to buying and selling gold. Keep in mind this is a business like any other and profit is how they stay in business. You can take your gold to them; they will weigh it and review it for quality. They will then make you an offer. You can negotiate if you feel the need but remember you are in control and of course you will need to be reasonable.
2. Pawn shops are another reasonable venue for selling your gold. They also provide you the ability to haggle or simply take your gold someplace else. Take your gold in; be sure it is clean and looks the best it can. Allow the proprietor to look it over. Do your research. In other words investigate quality and weight beforehand and have a price in mind. Most pawn shops will low ball you or ask what you want from it. It is best to know going in and negotiate from there.
3. Online gold brokers offer a viable option as well. They will advertise a price per ounce. Before getting excited, review the site completely and contact them if necessary. Honest vendors will tell you a reasonable price per ounce and not promise you three timers the going rate. Do your homework on the site before doing business.
4. Mail to pay ‘we buy gold’ businesses frankly are mostly a scheme. If you have seen the commercial where the elderly lady sends in her gold and they return her with cash, you probably are skeptical as well. Good move, be certain you do your due diligence here as well. It should be a set price per ounce, not a send it all in and we will decide what you get.
5. Finally, if you live in an area with a gold refinery you may be able to sell direct. This is the best option for the money. There is no middle man so you should receive the best bang per ounce. Be sure you call ahead to see if the business will deal with the public and what their payment methods are.
