Why Our Business is a Better Place to Bring Gold, Silver, and Diamonds to Than a Pawn Shop

Do you have gold, silver, or diamonds you want to sell? Trading in your unwanted jewelry is a great way to make some extra cash. But before you take your precious metals and gemstones to a local pawn shop for a quick payout, you might want to reconsider.
If you don’t want to gamble on the value of your jewelry, bring your gold, silver, and diamonds to Canada Gold.

Highest melt value payouts

When it comes to parting with your gold, you will want to make sure you get top dollar for your items. Many pawn shops will try to lowball you with a valuation and quote significantly lower than the real market melt value of your gold.

Canada Gold pays as much as 99% of the current market melt value of your gold. This is much higher than most jewelry stores, pawn shops, infomercial gold buyers, and online mail-in services, which typically offer 20-60% of melt value. Remember, a troy ounce of gold weighs 31.1 grams.

Specializing in precious metals

Pawn shops have plenty of inventory to keep them busy. What they don’t have is access to a large network of precious metal refineries, coin buyers, antique dealers, and diamond wholesalers. So, when you bring your items in to sell at a pawnshop, you could be missing out on the maximum payout.

By specializing in precious metals, Canada Gold offers much higher payouts than pawn shops. We deal in larger amounts of gold, which affords us the ability to offer the best available rates.

Expert appraisers

If you walk into a pawn shop and try to sell your precious metals and gemstones without knowing their true value, then you’re asking to be ripped off. Their “appraiser” is going to offer as little as they can to get the best deal for your items.
Whether you are selling your gold, silver, or diamonds, you will want to get your items properly appraised to yield the highest return.

At Canada Gold, our expert appraisers can tell you how much your gold is worth with more than 99.5% accuracy. And unlike pawn shops, we also have a gemologist on staff, allowing us to pay accurately for diamonds.

If you are looking to get top dollar for your gold, silver, and diamonds, skip the pawnshop and bring your items into Canada Gold.

What to do with the (many) gold earrings where I only have one of a pair or broken pieces? With Christmas coming up, I thought I’d see if I could sell them for extra cash. After talking to friends of friends, Canada Gold seemed to be one of the more reputable places to take my small collection of odds and ends. The offices are clean, the staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. They test and weigh the gold then calculate the cost. There is no obligation to accept their offer. – Yelp Review
