Comment on Want to Sell Gold? Here Are Some Avenues to Consider by Joy Smith

Another venue many people may consider is your local coin dealer. A lot of people may believe that coin dealers are a good way to sell their gold coins for a nice profit. Not so! My dad had a coin he wanted to price for its gold value at a local coin shop here in town. The dealer told him he would only give him the face value, which was worth less than $20. The coin in gold is worth far more than that, I believe! But I guess it might be worth it if you have a coin whose value was worth more than the weight of the coin?

You might also try trade shows where gold buyers and sellers may frequent. I know that bigger cities like Las Vegas have trade shows nearly every day it seemed like, when I was living there! I now live in a smaller town and while I do see trade shows every so often, they’re far and few.

Another idea might be a consignment shop or a yard sale. I have never tried using either of those, but I would think if a gold buyer knew the value of gold, they might be willing to buy what you have for a decent price. I do know our consignment shops here take a percentage of the profits, so you might keep that in mind.

Comment on Five Unique Ways When You Need To Make Money Fast by Joy Smith

I have never considered renting out my driveway as an idea to make money! I wonder if it’s possible to do that with an alley driveway as well? We live right next to the city park and there are always special events going on, so parking is crazy. Most of the time, people park in front of the house and end up blocking us in. I wish there was a way to keep that from happening, but since that public, property, I don’t think there’s much we can do there. But if I could rent out my alley driveway, we could park at least two cars there, if the city would allow it.

I also saw that you mentioned selling in traffic. I would advise checking with your city first to make sure you don’t need any sort of permit to do so. Here we have a lot of greedy people in the office who are always looking for ways to make a buck. It wouldn’t be so bad if the money actually went to the city for important things like fixing the roads, etc. Anyway, just check with your city first.

Another idea is to sell farm fresh eggs, even when you don’t live on a farm. All you need is a city permit and here it’s $3 per year for as many chickens as you like. Gold is also good, but hard to cash in when it comes to smaller cities. Big cities like Oklahoma City are 3 hours for me and not worth the gas prices.

Great article! It is definitely a great time to sell your unwanted gold or silver. The price of gold and silver are unbelievable, hitting new highs each day.

One recommendation for anyone who is looking to sell their gold or silver, make sure that you sell directly to a refinery. By removing the middleman it cuts out another hand in the profit giving you more money for your scrap gold or silver.

Black and white/silver just looks professional and high quality to me! My booth is very similar – I do use some white, silver, or gold, depending on the season and occasion. You might try adding some height to the back table with white wall shelves – I have two sets of them so it gives me balance and height and a little contrast.

Comment on Before I Sell My Gold, What Do I Need to Know? by rachael

Because the price of silver and gold varies daily, be sure you compare companies by apples to apples…meaning find out how much they’re paying by gram or by pennyweight (rather than a total for your items). Then you’ll be able to easily see who is paying you the most.
BE CAREFUL though who you choose to sell to – ask yourself: are they paying me the most, are they reputable, and if you sell to an online company – do they pay for shipping, do they make me an offer or simply send me a check (which is usually sent way late so you get stuck in their time trap of not being to get your stuff back), how easy is it to get my stuff back if I don’t like the offer, do they pay for return shipping if I reject the offer? And most of all – READ THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS – they are tricky and of course favor THEM.
I did all this research, answering these questions for myself and found the Silver And Gold Exchange. They had great client reviews and are a part of the Better Business Bureau.

Gold indeed lasts forever, and the old ones that aren’t in good shape can be melted and formed into something else. That’s why there are companies that buy unused gold because they know this precious metal’s potential.
