How to choose a reputable Gold & Jewelry buyer?

When you Google the words “sell gold for cash” there are 20,000,000 results. So what are you supposed to do? How can you choose between 20,000,000 options? It may seem almost impossible but if you follow a few smart steps, we assure you that a safe and profitable transaction is waiting for you:
  1. There are a lot of scammers and illegitimate businesses so a good starting point is to check if the business has any professional member affiliations to BBB (Better business Bureau,) Trust-E, or JVC (Jewelers Vigilance Committee.)
  2. Google the company’s name with the word "reviews" and search for positive or negative customer reviews. Try to google the company with words such as “fraud” or “scam” and see if any weird results come up.
  3. Is the company a real, registered company? Every reputable gold and jewelry buyer is required to be licensed!
  4. Beware of “too good to be trues.”
  5. Can the dealer accommodate consumers both online and in person? Legitimate buyers require a physical address for processing.
  6. After you send the gold, will the company just mail you a check or do you have a chance to decline their offer and get your gold back?
At Global Gold & Silver we believe that transparency builds trust between us and the consumer and the buyer. So before you decide to transact business with any establishment, you are strongly advised to research their legitimacy. Look online for customer reviews, ask your friends and family, or just head on to www.jewelryscrappers.com and sell your gold with confidence.
