Research Gold Prices Before You Sell Your Gold
Any reputable jeweller will normally base their prices for the different gold standards e.g. 24 carat, 18 carat etc. on the daily market. You can expect them to take a reasonable commission of around 10 to 20% of the market price. You may even get more than you expect if they can see a resale value in the jewellery itself. This is one of the main benefits of using a professional jeweller who would be able to advise on not just the price of the gold but the quality of the jewellery. Other outlets may not offer such competitive prices, taking a higher commission or charging in addition for the service they provide. The end result could mean that when you sell gold through these outlets, you end up receiving less than 50% of the market gold price in some cases. It therefore pays to check the market prices for gold before engaging with with purchasers of jewellery. There are a number of online sites which will show both the buy and sell gold prices. However, these days, the mobile apps provide a great solution to getting information on all subjects including gold prices.
