The Holidays are steadily approaching, and with our bad economy, many people have to make hard choices in order to make ends meet. People are looking for jobs, trying to consolidate bills, and downsizing to save money.
Now, with the added pressure of the holidays, many people are choosing to sell unwanted gold and silver jewelry and coins for extra cash. The price of gold and silver is way up, and if you need cash, it’s a great time to sell.
I sold half of my family coin collection last year when the prices were low, but I needed the money to invest in my antique shop — North End Garage. It was enough to get me started. A few months ago I sold the rest of the collection when prices were up, and I did very well.
Now that I am buying gold and silver from the public, I try to offer advice and other services that other shops do not offer. For large coin collections, we will look through them and pay more for rare coins.
We offer more money for precious gems if they are fabulous. If you get a better offer at another shop, tell us and we will try to beat it.
We also offer a buyback program. You can sell me your gold or silver item and I will sell it back to you within an agreed amount of time. My shop is an antique shop, so we can pay more than the other gold places because it’s only a small part of what we do.
So when you decide to sell items, shop around for comparison prices and see what other services you can get before you sell.
