This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to turn your gold into cash in New Zealand at an ideal price!
Your Treasures: What Are They Worth?
Happily, New Zealand provides you with plenty of ways to sell gold items. Below are a few examples:
Jewellery: It could be rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, or any kind of ring or earring, whether whole or broken or not of a matching pair.
Coins: Whether passed down from generation to generation or a single coin as a family heirloom, gold coins can be a very profitable investment.
Bullion: Gold bars of various sizes may also prove worthwhile but this option may be less popular among most New Zealanders.
Dental Gold: Old gold fillings or crowns that have increased karats can be surprisingly valuable; especially those from earlier eras.
TJ Gold welcomes all forms of gold jewellery regardless of condition - scratches, broken pieces and even single earrings will all find new homes at our shop!
Understanding Your Gold's Worth: Karats and Spot Price
Before selling gold, it's essential to understand its worth:
Karats: Karat (denoted as K) means that the composition is pure; therefore, 24K means pure gold, although there could be other metals in lower Karats. Other markings on the jewellery that point at the karat purity of the gold are 10K, 14K, 18K, and 21K, where higher karat gold is typically worth more.
Spot Price: One factor when selling gold is its current market price - also referred to as its spot price - which fluctuates daily. Therefore, conducting an online search before selling will give an idea of its estimated worth; websites and apps often offer up-to-date spot prices.
Locating an Ideal Buyer in NZ
Now that you understand what's for sale and have an understanding of its value, the next step should be finding an appropriate buyer in New Zealand. Here are your main options available here.
Gold Buying Companies: Businesses like TJ Gold specialize in buying gold at reasonable rates with excellent customer service and fair pricing, providing convenience, expertise, and secure transactions.
Pawnshops: Pawnshops may provide fast cash, but often at lower prices than private buyers.
Private Buyers: Selling privately could lead to greater price offers but could expose sellers or their gold to scammers or unfair deals.
TJ Gold suggests selecting a buyer with an open process and proven track record; positive customer reviews as well as detailed pricing and procedures information should help make an informed decision.
