Sell Gold or Pawn Gold

If you have an old gold watch, coin or piece of jewelry, you may hesitate, not knowing the best way to start the sales process. You could sell it online, but then you run the risk of a bad buyer or the item getting lost in the mail. Often, the best way is to take it to a pawn broker. However, you may worry that these are shady businesses too. There are some simple things to look for when choosing a good pawn shop.

First, choose a store that is clean. A dirty, disorganized shop is probably not run by someone that cares about the reputation of the business. Choose a store with a great reputation as well as one in an area that makes you feel comfortable. A high-end pawn shop can feel like you’re shopping in a department store. The employees will be knowledgeable and will never pressure you to sell. If you are working with a reputable pawnbroker he or she will give you time to think about the sale and whether it will work for you.
