Shocking Cash for Gold Investigations

By admin on March 6th, 2010

Out of Bakersfield, CA an eyewitness news team did an investigative report on the cash for gold market and some of the findings are shocking.  The team took a gold ring and had it weighed, tested, and appraised by a trusted jeweler.  The team then took the ring to several cash for gold businesses.  The investigative team ran into dishonest cash for gold business practices including weighing the ring out of sight from the customer, refusing to tell the customer what they had weighed the ring at, telling the customer that the ring weighed less than it actually did, and being offered low-ball prices.  The bottom line from the investigative report to consumers was to shop around when selling their gold jewelry and to use common sense.

The Gold Standard wants you to know that we are proud members of the Jeweler’s Vigilance Committee, use only State of New York certified and calibrated scales, and all of your gold jewelry is weighed and tested right in front of you.  We also have a 110% Price Guarantee meaning we will pay the highest prices for your gold than any other company in New York.  If you find a higher payout we will match that price and pay you an additional 10% of the difference!  Contact us today to turn your gold into cash.

New York Cash For Gold Scams

By admin on November 5th, 2009

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

Why Chose The Gold Standard of New York?

  • We are members of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee for ethics and integrity
  • Our scales are certified and calibrated by the State of New York
  • We are licensed to trade gold
  • We post our daily payout rates at each store
  • There are absolutely no hidden fees and no minimum weights
  • We guarantee 110% that you’ll receive the highest payouts than any other gold buyer

The Bottom Line is we’ve built a strong reputation for our business over the past 75 years simply through exceptional customer care and honest transactions.  As a family owned business we share a common set of values and beliefs that we apply to our business everyday to ensure safe and excellent service. We offer a number of services, including a Gold Party Company and an Online Cash For Gold Company, both of which operate with the same ethics and integrity as our local New York stores.
