What To Expect When You Sell Your Valuables to a Pawnshop

A pawnbroker values your item based on its intrinsic value, not its artistic value. If you are selling gold coins or bars expect to receive 90 to 95% of the current market value. Should you be selling gold jewelry expect between 70 to 80% of the “melt” value.

When it Makes Sense Get More Information

If you know your diamonds or precious stones are valued below $2,000, get several quotes from different pawnbrokers to determine what they will pay you. But, if you know your valuables are worth more contact a reputable firm like Nelson Rarities.

Over the past 40 years, we’ve helped thousands of people evaluate the true value of their signed jewelry pieces, precious stones and designer works of art. And, in many cases, we’ve bought their item - at the best possible price.
