Old keepsakes not for sale, but the scrap is
February 25th, 2009 . by adminIf you have some old gold pieces you want to part with, now may be the ideal time. Gold is worth around $600 an ounce on todays market. If you want to know where to sell scrap gold, check first with some local jewelry stores for an appraisal and perhaps a quick addition to your wallet.
It all depends on what you have to offer in scrap gold, and how badly the dealer wants it. Visit several local jewelers and let them weigh and give you an appraisal of your gold pieces. They will be honest and you can talk with them face to face. Keep in mind the sentimental value of your pieces will not mean a thing to a businessman. Just because your dear deceased Aunt Clara gave you her precious bracelets and earrings, twenty years ago, it won’t matter to them. Either keep them or give them up for whatever traffic will allow.
