Sell your gold from the comfort of your couch in New York in 3 simple steps...

We understand that selling your gold or precious metals is a big deal...

Selling gold is hassle-free with us. Plus, we buy gold in any situation...

The amount of cash you can get for your gold or gold alloy depends on several factors:

1. Purity of the Gold: The higher the purity (e.g., 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, 10K, 9K, 8K), the more valuable it typically is. Purity is often measured in karats (or carats) but can also be measured in terms of fineness (purity of gold in parts per 1000).
2. Weight of the Gold: The heavier the item, the more cash you can potentially receive. Weight of gold is measured in grams (g), troy ounces (oz t), ounce (oz) Avoirdupois, or pennyweight (dwt) on a weighing scale.
3. Current Market Price of Gold: Gold prices fluctuate daily based on global market trends. There are numerous gold charts available online displaying price fluctuations live.
4. Condition and Form of the Gold: The form of your gold (e.g., jewelry, coins, bars) and its condition can affect its value.

At Family Gold Buyers, we make offers on gold, silver, and platinum. Once your items arrive from New York to our secure facility monitored with 24-hour surveillance, we conduct an evaluation. The evaluation is based on the purity, weight, condition, and current market value. As long as nothing is counterfeit, we will make you an offer, which you can accept, or not!

If you're happy with our offer, we can send an instant payment to your bank account via ACH (direct deposit), wire transfer, or PayPal. If you are unhappy with our offer, we mail your items back to you in New York for free. No questions asked.

Note that we are not diamond buyers or gemstone buyers.

Whether cash for gold is a rip-off largely depends on the specific circumstances and the buyer you are dealing with. Here are some considerations:

1. Price Transparency: It's crucial to be aware of the current market price of gold and understand how much your specific assets are worth based on their purity and weight. If a buyer offers significantly less than the market price, it could be considered a rip-off.
2. Trustworthiness of the Buyer: Dealing with reputable buyers, such as licensed companies that buy gold with positive reviews and testimonials, reduces the risk of being taken advantage of.
3. Hidden Fees or Terms: Some less reputable buyers might have hidden fees or unclear terms that reduce the amount you receive. Make sure to ask about any fees upfront and read the terms of the transaction carefully.
4. Emotional Decision: Sometimes people sell gold in a hurry due to financial stress, which can lead to accepting lower offers. Taking the time to research, shop around, and compare offers can help avoid this.

To avoid being ripped off, educate yourself about the dollar value of the gold, silver, or platinum that you own. There are many online gold calculators you can use to get an estimated calculation of your items' value.

Also, pay attention to the shipping carrier other gold dealers use-- FedEx has a jewelry program that allows for insurance up to $100k in value (USPS and UPS cannot provide the same level of security). Look for reputable buyers who are operating in accordance with the law by reading reviews and getting recommendations from others who have sold gold.
