The number above is what you should know before you consider selling your gold to anyone. It is the true value of the pure gold content of your items at current market prices.*

Once you know the spot value it's time to find a buyer. Most "Cash4Gold" type buyers will offer you 50-75% of the spot price...Not so great.

For all of my scrap gold I use Midwest Refineries because they are a no frills place that treats everyone the same. It also helps that they pay 95% of spot, with no minimum amount. They have been in business since 1939 and they just plain know what they are doing.

If you want spot price or if you think you have something unique with a little aesthetic value try Ebay.com.  People love to buy gold on Ebay and they often pay at or above spot price. A few keys to a good ad for selling gold on Ebay: only sell by auction, use No Reserve, and start the price @ $0.99.  It's quite unnerving to put that much value on the line, but those auctions will attract 100's of interested buyers and bidding has never failed to meet my expectations.

If your have the great fortune of finding a gold coin or pocket watch...Don't melt those down! The value of collectables is dependent on things like condition and rarity, but it will always have a premium above the spot price...but that's another story....please share yours!
