There is a place over here in lewisville that will give you 10-15% more than DG&S. it's called Dingers Gold & Silver. We used them and got over $1k for a few rings necklaces and bracelets. My MIL and a few friends have gone there too and were very pleased with what they received. They will pull any stones that you want to keep as well. Go to DG&S then go to Dingers and see what the difference they offer is.

Don't sell it at a pawn shop or "we buy gold" place. I'd take to a refinery I used to use a place off of i35 and walnut hill called ARA. They did the meltdown on location and pay 95-99% of market value depending on the amount(weight) you sold. And they will remove and return any stones at no charge.

This is the kind of thing I was hoping someone would post. I will definitely check them both out.

Thanks!

Most places that buy gold are just the middle man so why not sell it to the same place they do. Market value changes daily call and ask what they pay per gram. Also remember that market value is 24k gold, 14k is 50% gold so it'd be half of what market value.

Well, 14kt is close to 50% but here's the exact information:

24k = 100% pure gold
18k = 75% pure gold
14k = 58.3% pure gold
10k = 41.6% pure gold

and some euro gold info:
12k = 50% pure gold
9k = 37.5% pure gold

Sample of gold melt value by weight, finess, and spot price(variables):
15grams(weight of your piece)
14k(finess of your piece)
$1700 per 1 oz pure gold spot price(changes with the market)

15grams/31.1gramsperoz * 14k/24k * $1700 = $478.29 in gold melt value.
Then backout the dealers profit, so they offer a bit less for their profit.
Some places will not use grams, but will use pennyweight(dwt) and that's
20dwt per 1 oz.
Convert dwt to grams by multiplying dwt's by 1.555

I think a decent offer would be around 85% of melt value, minus $25 to
remove stones, then round down to a $25 increment.
$350 estimated offer, from a decent gold buyer. Crummy one's will offer $200.

Being the week before Christmas, lot's of gold has been making it's way to the
corner gold buyers. Offers are likely to be lower being a buyers market around
the holidays. If there are stones, they will knock down the weight of the stone
by estimate, and knock down the cost to remove the stones. Most don't try to
resell as jewelry.
I know a jeweler that does custom work and repairs, etc. I have given him
scrap gold to work with for my stuff. I lose about 20% but that's about right.

I've seen places that don't tell you the numbers they are using, they just puke
out their offer, and they usually round down to a $25 increment, and factor in
a solid $50 per piece profit as well.

If you can get 75% of the gold melt value, that's not so bad but there are some
that are better. If you have done a bit of business, you will be treated better
and the spreads are a bit closer.

The hidden camera reports are a bit misleading also, because they guys can
spot someone in the business or with good knowledge without much difficulty.
And they will prey on those that are not informed well.

If you have any 18k pieces of any color, like white, yellow, pink, or green
I would be interested.
