Selling guide
How to Sell Gold After Calculating Its Value
A short, independent guide to bridging the gap between estimating value and choosing a buyer.
Step 1 — Get an estimate first
Start with the Gold Pricer gold calculator so you walk into any valuation knowing the rough metal value of your items.
Step 2 — Group items by carat
Separate 9ct, 14ct, 18ct and 22ct pieces before weighing. Mixed-carat lots usually get valued at the lowest carat unless individually tested.
Step 3 — Choose your selling route
Postal services suit people who want a no-pressure valuation from home. Face-to-face suits anyone who wants instant payment and the chance to negotiate. For postal gold packs backed by a real high street headquarters, visit HighStreetGold. For face-to-face gold valuations in St Helens, visit St Helens Gold. For upcoming face-to-face valuations in Birkenhead and Wirral, visit Birkenhead Gold.
Step 4 — Compare at least two offers
Buyer margins vary. If a quote feels far below your estimate, request a second opinion before accepting.
Step 5 — Confirm payout terms
Check payment method, timing and whether stones or non-gold parts are returned to you. Always keep a written or itemised valuation.
