Why Sell Gold in Houston?

Do you have any old or new, broken or useless, scrap gold, silver, jewelry or platinum items that you want to sell? Doing so may bring you a great sense of personal and financial relief! Many of our customers told us how relieved and unburdened they felt after finally getting rid of that unwanted wedding ring, watch, gold piece, old jewelry, coins or silver table setting.

Right now is the perfect time to sell gold in Houston or sell silver in Houston. Why? Because gold and silver prices are near their all-time high and Gold Buyers Houston is paying top-dollar for your silver and gold! Unfortunately, gold and silver prices have fallen since their all-time highs.

Gold prices peaked at $1,913.50 per ounce on August 23, 2011 and silver reached a 31-year high hitting $49.79 per ounce on April 25, 2011. These prices have dropped off since then and there's no telling where they will be in a month or even a year. Don't risk a possible further drop in these prices.

Trying to sell silver or sell gold when their spot prices are at their peak is like trying to play the stock market and selling a stock when it's at it's peak. It's nearly impossible to do this. Nobody knows where the prices of gold and silver are going to go but they are going downwards right now.

That's another reason why today is a good time to sell gold and silver. If gold and silver prices continue to drop, you will not get paid as much as you would if you sold today.

Where To Sell Gold In Houston

As you may know, there are many different places and ways that you can get paid cash when you sell gold in Houston. We're going to briefly review those places and ways and we're going to explain how you can get paid the most cash for your valuables. Whether you try to sell your gold online, at a local jeweler, through the newspaper, to a traveling gold buyer or through a pawn shop, it's possible, if you're not careful, to wind up with less than it's full value or worse, ripped off. To avoid getting taken, keep the following information in mind:

The Top-11 Places to Sell Jewelry, Sell Silver or Sell Gold in Houston:

1. You could sell your gold jewelry through the mail to one of those online-only buyers. This method involves putting your silver, gold, coins and jewelry into a large envelope and sending it to the address on the envelope. They suggest that you insure your valuables in case something happens to the envelope and it disappears. There will also be a shipping charge involved. While this may be the "easy way" since you don't even have to leave your house, it will definitely take several days before you get paid...IF you accept what they offer you. If you don't like their offer, then you will have to wait a few more days to get your property back. Be aware that some of these companies have a reputation of offering really low payments for your valuables. In our opinion, this method has too many drawbacks to be worthwhile alternative.
2. You could sell your silver flatware, etc. to a local pawn shop - A pawn shop might be interested in your old gold necklace, but they are not going to buy broken jewelry, a broken earring or gold dental work. They also may not buy what you have if they already have a few of that item in stock. Lastly, pawn shops have to buy low and sell high in order to make a profit. This means that the payoff they offer you is most likely to be really low.
3. You could sell your old jewelry, etc. at a local jewelry store - Most jewelry stores are not in the business of buying used jewelry and they certainly won't buy damaged, dirty, old or out-of-style jewelry. They are in the business of SELLING jewelry, not BUYING jewelry.
4. You could take your items to one of those traveling gold buyers that set up shop in a local hotel room. These are the gold buyers that place an ad in the local paper and try to get as many people as possible to come in with their gold. They travel all over the U.S. and have a LOT of expenses to cover. Thus, the prices they offer are not the highest you could get. They are also known as "rogue" buyers or "pop-up" buyers or "hotel" buyers. They breeze into town, set up shop, rake in as much gold and jewelry as possible, pay out as little as possible and disappear. Oh, and their scales are not verified for accuracy by the Department of Weights and Measures.
5. You could advertise your gold watches, rings, chains, jewelry, etc. in the local newspaper - This is a pretty good option...IF you have time to wait for someone to call you, come over, look at your gold jewelry and purchase it...or not. This is a very time-consuming process! Like yard sale buyers, most newspaper ad buyers want to pay pennies on the dollar for what your items are really worth. Also, please be aware if you use this method that jewelry sellers have been robbed and even shot in their own homes by people answering these types of ads.
6. You could list all your items for sale on an auction site - Again, this is another very time-consuming method of TRYING to sell your gold or silver coins or jewelry. Auction sites have a steep learning curve just to learn how they work and how to list your items for sale. IF your item sells, you have to wait for the payment. IF the buyer sends a check, you have to wait 10 business days to make sure the check clears before you send the item. You also have to pay a fee to the auction site based on how much your gold sold for. This is a tough, slow way to sell gold.
7. You could list your gold and silver on an online advertising site - We don't want to scare you but like advertising to sell gold jewelry in the newspaper, you may be at risk of being robbed, or worse, by strangers showing up at your house. Plus, you won't get top-dollar IF you manage to make a sale. These buyers are looking for the best deal they can get and will offer you only pennies on the dollar.
8. You could take your gold to a business that buys gold and nothing else - Yes, some businesses ONLY buy gold. They won't buy silver and they won't buy jewelry if it has more than just gold in it. So, if you want to sell silver or sell jewelry in Houston, these types of businesses won't work for you.
9. You could sell your gold coins at a coin store - You better know what you're doing and what the real value of your silver and gold coins are if you go to a coin shop. You can bet these guys know everything there is to know about how to buy and sell gold coins. Again, these shops need to turn as much of a profit as possible to pay for their overhead. Thus, you may not get what your gold and silver coins are really worth.
10. You could attend one of your friend's "Gold Parties" - Gold Parties are where someone gets a group of friends and family together in their living room to sell their gold, silver, coins, jewelry, etc. The host of the "Party" usually earns a commission from the gold buyer. We have heard stories from people at these parties that what they were offered for their valuables was not acceptable to them. You have to do your research ahead of time and have a good idea of what your items are worth. As is the case with those "hotel buyers", the accuracy of the scales used at these "Gold Parties" has not been certified or verified by the Department of Weights and Measures. Lastly, if you do go to a Gold Party, don't let peer pressure or social pressure cause you to sell your gold for a price you're not happy with.
11. You could sell your items to a reputable, local, gold and silver buyer in Houston - A local Houston gold buyer offers several advantages over all the other methods listed above, such as:
    1. You can build a personal relationship with them because they are local.
    2. They will treat you like gold because they would like you to become their regular customer.
    3. They are conveniently located near you.
    4. You will get a free verbal appraisal of the value of your items.
    5. You will get paid instant cash.
    6. They will test your gold right in front of you to learn it's purity.
    7. They will weigh your gold in front of you and their scales are certified as accurate.
    8. You get to watch them use their high-tech test equipment.
    9. They buy almost any gold, silver, jewelry and platinum items you have.
    10. They pay you top-dollar based on the price of gold, silver or platinum at that time.
    11. They may not buy dental gold but they buy scrap gold, scrap jewelry, gold and silver coins, silver flatware, gold bullion, gold bars, silver bullion, silver bars, platinum, gold watches, silver belt buckles, silver or gold rings and broken, unwanted, useless gold, silver and jewelry, just to name a few items.
