Sell Your Jewelry with Caution

Unfortunately many websites and companies are plaguing the New York cash for gold industry with dishonest business and even outright scams.  The best way to avoid NY cash for gold scams and gold party scams is to become informed about the company you are interested in working with.

What to Look Out For

Because the price of gold is at an all time record high many New Yorkers are taking advantage of this fact by selling their unwanted gold items for large sums of quick cash.  We advise you to beware of mailing in your gold jewelry to fly-by-night online cash for gold companies if you know little about that company.  In many cases these cash for gold scams are simply receiving your gold jewelry without any intention of paying you or returning your items.  Look out for:

• Fly-by-night or mail-in options for cash for gold
• Hidden fees
• Low ball offers

NY Gold Party Scams

Some New York businesses pose as honest and professional jewelers willing to coordinate your gold party and pay you and your guests a fair amount of cash for any gold jewelry brought to the party.  Having the jeweler in your presence does not exclude the possibility of being scammed for you and your guests’ gold.  Be alarmed if:

• Gold buyers do not assess your gold in your presence
• You suspect faulty calculations in determining your gold’s worth
• Scales have not been certified and calibrate by the State of NY

Be Informed

• Do research on the company you are interested in
• See if the NY gold for cash company is part of an ethics committee and has their scales certified on a regular basis
