FAQ | Selling Gold, Silver & Jewelry | Cash 4 Gold Trading Post

Everything you need to know about selling gold, silver, jewelry, and more at Cash 4 Gold Trading Post.

How do you determine the value of my gold? +

We use professional XRF analyzers and acid testing to accurately determine the karat purity of your gold. We then weigh your items and calculate the value based on current gold spot prices. Our appraisers have decades of experience and provide fair, transparent valuations. You can watch the entire process and ask questions at any time.

Do I need an appointment to sell my gold? +

No appointment is needed! Simply walk into any of our 4 Central New Jersey locations during business hours. We're open Monday-Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 10am-5pm. You'll receive a free appraisal on the spot with no obligation to sell.

What types of gold do you buy? +

We buy all types of gold including 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold. This includes:

  • Gold jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants)
  • Gold coins and bullion
  • Gold bars
  • Dental gold
  • Scrap gold and broken pieces
  • Gold watches and watch bands
Do you buy broken or damaged jewelry? +

Yes! We buy gold and jewelry in ANY condition. Broken chains, missing stones, single earrings, tangled necklaces, bent rings - they all have value. The gold content is what matters most, not the condition of the piece. Don't throw away that jewelry drawer full of old, broken pieces - bring it in!

How does the selling process work? +

It's simple and takes about 10-15 minutes:

  1. Bring your items to any of our 4 locations
  2. Free appraisal - Our expert will test and weigh your items
  3. Get your offer - We'll quote you based on current market prices
  4. Get paid - Accept our offer and receive cash immediately
What forms of payment do you offer? +

We pay cash on the spot for all transactions. No waiting for checks to clear, no bank transfers to track, no payment apps. You walk out with cash in hand the same day, the same visit.

Is my transaction confidential? +

Absolutely. All transactions at Cash 4 Gold Trading Post are completely confidential. We respect your privacy and handle all dealings with discretion. We are fully licensed and follow all state regulations regarding precious metals transactions.

Do you buy silver and platinum too? +

Yes! In addition to gold, we buy a wide variety of valuable items:

What if I'm not happy with the offer? +

There's absolutely no obligation to sell. If you're not satisfied with our offer, you're free to take your items and leave - no pressure, no hard feelings. We encourage you to shop around, and if you get a written quote from a competitor, bring it to us. We'll do our best to beat it!

Do you offer house calls for large collections? +

Yes! For large estates, collections, or customers who cannot visit our stores, we offer free in-home appraisals throughout Central New Jersey. This is perfect for estate settlements, large jewelry collections, or elderly customers. Call any of our locations to schedule a house call appointment.

What should I bring when selling gold? +

Just two things:

  1. A valid government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport)
  2. The items you wish to sell

That's it! No paperwork, receipts, or original boxes needed. We test everything on-site to verify authenticity and purity.

How do gold prices affect what you pay? +

Gold prices fluctuate daily based on global markets. We base our offers on the current spot price of gold, which means when gold prices are high, you'll receive more for your items. You can check the current gold price online before you visit, or simply call us for a phone estimate. We're always happy to explain how we calculate our offers.
