glenmorenee Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 2:18 pm I have some gold scraps, i.e. broken jewelry, found gold jewelry, gold caps, and some jewelry we'll never wear. We have a pretty large jewelry district and plenty of "We Buy Gold" shops. We were in the district having some jewelry repair done and I asked the fellow about how to sell scrap. He gestured to some shops and said that if I could get around $25/gm for 14kt gold that would be decent and that is the going rate. Spot today would translate to about $37 gm for 14kt so this is about a 30% discount to spot. I watched a few gold and silver scrap lots finish on ebay and they calculate out to pretty much spot. The 10-15% ebay fee would be your your only discount to spot. Anyone with experience selling scrap? Report this Post to the Staff

Gold we pay 85 per cent give or take . Refining fees , allowing for the odd mistake , and having to make a profit all factor in . Report this Post to the Staff
