Sell Your Gold Jewelry Through The US Mail
Sell Your Gold Jewelry Through The US Mail

You now have the option of selling unwanted gold jewelry through the mail. Here is how to get started.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Understand that you may not get as much for your gold from an online, "through the mail" gold buyer than you would from a used jewelry broker since the online company is paying for scrap gold value, not intact jewelry value. However, on the positive side selling your unwanted gold jewelry through the mail can save you time and gas money.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a reputable online dealer that has a phone number and physical address listed on the website. Read the fine print on the contract that you will be asked to fill out out and include in the prepaid mailer with your gold. Call and ask questions if you have any. There is usually an option to choose the right to have a verbal appraisal given to you before the transaction proceeds. I suggest that you choose this option so that you do have the right to refuse the offer and have your gold jewelery mailed back to you.

  3. Step 3

    Place your jewelry in the prepaid mailer without overfilling it and seal it well. Make sure that you insure the package at the US post office for the maximum that you think that it may be worth. Selling your gold jewelry this way is easy and convenient and if you follow these precautions it can be a rewarding choice.

on 8/29/2009 I would try the Silver and Gold Exchange. They have a live price chart that shows what they pay for all kinds of gold and silver at http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com and they pay a lot more than anywhere else as far as I can tell. They seem to do things a lot differently than anyone else out there.
