The Gold Standard: Gold is wealth, brilliance, permanence, heritage, status, and unalterable integrity.

Who Buys Gold Today?  Doctors, lawyers, engineers, retirees, teachers, professors, business owners, trades-people, laborers and capitalists who recognize the stability, utility, and simplicity of gold.  Many of these same people regularly turn their scrap or broken gold into hard cash or even into more gold with gold trade units. 

Some Tips to Get the Highest Value for your Gold:

The first tip is if you are selling gold online then there is just one place to sell gold online and that is through www.BuyerOfGold.com the number 1 place online to sell scrap gold and silver or broken jewelry.

I'd go round a load of local pawn shops and see what they offer, compare what they all offer you, if someone offers you one price tell them another shop offered you a bit more and see what you end up getting. Make sure you don't just give in and sell it to the first shop you go in even if it does sound like more than you wanted because you might get even more elsewhere!!

Sorry to tell you that you unlikely to get even a fraction of what you paid for it, just manage your expectation so that you aren't disappointed. If it's a reasonably good piece you could try taking it to a reputable auction house such as Sotheby's or Christies and asking them to appraise and sell it for you.

ABOUT GOLD....

Gold is an investment both tangible and liquid.  You can hold it in your hands and buy or sell gold with great ease.  People often think that gold shares are shares of gold itself, but if you buy and sell shares, you're actually buying and selling shares in a gold mining company as opposed to selling gold.   

There are several forms gold can take as an investment - gold bars, gold coins, even certificates of ownership.  The standard price of gold is set twice daily by the Gold Fixing of London.  Consider this information when it comes time to sell gold.

  1. The ease with which you can sell gold will depend largely on how easily the content of pure gold can be determined in the bar or coin in your possession.  This is one reason why gold bullion has become so popular for gold investors.  They know they'll be able to sell gold easier as a coin because the quality and quantity of pure gold in the coin is guaranteed.  This guarantee makes it easy to sell gold to dealers around the world.  All dealers will be familiar with the current value of gold.  
  2. By contrast, if you try to sell gold that has been "hidden" (the marks deliberately pounded out of the bar, rendering it difficult to trace conventionally), you'll find it more difficult because its authenticity and value is harder to establish.  But this is true in general when trying to sell gold in the form of bars, as compared to gold coins.  Contact a dealer who specialized in gold in order to get a fair price when you want to sell gold bars.

    In some developing areas of the world, however, selling gold will be easier as a bar, as the pure gold of a bar can easily be turned into jewelry.  While gold bullion coins like the American Eagle gold coin have a guaranteed amount of gold, they also contain small alloy amounts that make the coins less malleable. 

  3. You might be happy to see that the market value of gold has shot up overnight, and try to sell gold to a dealer immediately or sell the gold on eBay at the current price.  However, the dealer might be less interested in the gold that day, hoping the price will return to its previous position.  Ideally, the dealers you contact will offer you a small percent premium on the gold you sell.  This is not always the case, however; you may find the dealer asking to buy the gold at a percent discount. 
  4. Though all dealers will be familiar with the current standard value of gold, there will always be debate as to whether that price will rise or fall in the near future.  That's the reason for small discrepancies in offers when you sell gold coins. Contact multiple dealers and shop around before you sell gold.  Look for the best price.  Because the standard gold value is updated and relied on by everyone, you won't encounter radically different offers, but the percent premium could be slightly better from some dealers than from others. 
  5. You can consider selling gold online.  You can sell gold directly to dealers, locating them simply by searching for "sell gold" using Google.  To locate local or national gold bullion dealers, use this U.S. Mint locator tool.  You can also sell your gold in auction on eBay.  If your beginning price is the current standard value, and yet that standard value of gold drops while your gold is up for sale, then you probably won't be able to sell the gold until you remove the item and repost at the current price. 

Selling for a guaranteed price is easy – and totally secure by using the US Postal Service Registered Insured Mail!

Here are a few tips to make your Registered Mail shipping go smoothly:

If you have coins in plastic tubes, pack each tube so that it doesn't rattle, and tape the top securely shut. Put your material in a sturdy box, preferably a corrugated-wall cardboard box. Once the material is in the shipping box, pack the box tightly with wrapping material such as wadded paper, bubble wrap, or 'packing peanuts.'

Ideally, you have the box packed tightly so that the load can't shift inside the box. Remember to pack securely, because while in transit, your package may be turned upside down, have heavy parcels put on top of it, or even be dropped off a loading dock.

To make your package tamper-proof, the Post Office will apply ink cancellation marks to various areas of your package. Therefore, the outside of your box, including all seams, must be entirely of a porous paper or cardboard surface. If any part of the outside of your package has a slick or glossy surface, the Post Office may not accept it.

To comply, we recommend using a paper packing tape to cover any slick surfaces, or even the whole box. We use a 2-inch wide manila reinforced paper tape that requires moistening to adhere. It is available at most office supply stores and wrap-and-ship locations. If you can't find it, give us a call -we buy it by the case and would be glad to send you some!

At the Post Office, send your package via Registered Insured Mail, insured for its true value. Each package can be insured for up to $25,000, and you will receive a serial numbered receipt stating the declared value of each parcel.

Do not use "Certified" mail. Your valuables need the protection and accountability of Registered Mail.  Registered Mail is also a Priority service, and delivery is usually in two to five business days.

When you return from the Post Office, call or email us with the Registration number (s).

NOTE – Alternate carriers such as Federal Express and UPS do NOT provide the guaranteed security of US Registered Mail. Their insurance does not cover coins or bullion.

If you are selling material that is worth more than $100,000, you should discuss alternate methods of insured shipping.  On larger transactions, many companies will arrange armored car pickup at your bank, office, or even home

How safe is Registered Insured Mail?

Most people are not even aware that the US Postal Service provides an accountable, insured service for high-value parcels (up to $25,000 per package) – Registered Insured Mail.  And the price is very reasonable – for instance, a package containing ten ounces of gold, registered and fully insured, can be shipped at a cost of less than $25.

Registered Mail is a signature-only, restricted delivery service for transporting valuables within the United States. At each stage of the journey of a Registered Mail parcel, it is under the direct responsibility of a USPS employee.

This strict accountability system makes shipment by Registered Mail as secure as via any bonded armored courier company in the US – and it’s backed by the USPS with an ironclad guarantee of signed receipt delivery.

Moreover, you can track and confirm your package(s) at the website www.usps.com while they are in transit. The average travel time for Registered Mail ranges from two to five business days.

 

“A RECIPE FOR DISASTER? The global economic and financial market climate looks increasingly precarious. Financial imbalances have never been greater following an extraordinary period of easy money. Many countries have experienced housing bubbles and massive increases in leverage, and global trade imbalances are at unprecedented levels. Rising U.S. interest rates and high oil prices now threaten to push the system to a breaking point.” (BCA Research)
