Make money selling gold jewelry for cash. Gold and silver is at an all time high making this a great time for you to start selling your jewelry for cash!
By Karen O'Donnell Marshall

Are you thinking about selling your gold, silver or platinum jewelry?  Many companies advertise they will give you "top dollar" for your broken, tangled or unwanted items.  Which company do you choose, if any?  The following considerations will help you to make an informed decision:

1. Return policy.  Even though most companies claim that your satisfaction is guaranteed, some require you to pay a shipping and handling fee to have your merchandise returned.  Return item charges, if any, should be listed on the company's website or in promotional material they mail to you prior to you shipping them your items.
 
2. Typical payment.  Although some companies post payment amounts on their website, carefully review the payment information they provide.  The amounts posted are only for the quantity specified.  Lesser quantities typically pay at reduced rates.  Also, your items might be weighed in troy ounces or pennyweight, instead of in regular ounces.  You can search online to find conversions from ounces to these other units of measurement.  This conversion information is extremely useful when determining an estimated value for your items.

3. Company reputation.  The Better Business Bureau (BBB) compiles information about customer complaints filed against companies.  The BBB can provide you with information about how long the company you are considering has been in business.  It can also provide you with customer satisfaction statistics as well as complaint resolution information.  You can also search online for customer reviews of the company.

4. Customer service.  Some companies provide an email address and a toll-free telephone number on their website.  You can weigh your items and contact the customer service department about typical payouts for the quantity of gold, silver, or platinum items you are selling.

5. Sample submission.  Unless you have a large quantity of items that would qualify for a higher payment tier based upon the weight of your shipment, you can opt to initially send only a few items to a company that buys the items you are selling.  After you receive the company's offer for those items, you can determine whether or not you want to send additional items to that company.

You may or may not receive a large sum of money
for your unwanted gold, silver and platinum items.  Carefully evaluating competing companies will help you to make an informed decision.  Good luck with your endeavor!
