You see them everywhere—places you can walk into and turn your gold into cash. And just about everyone has unwanted or broken jewelry lying around. Old gifts from boyfriends, mismatched earrings, snapped chains, gold that has not been worn in years, you name it.
So with all these stores and options to sell jewelry, where should a Long Islander go to get the most for his or her items? Some will go to pawn shops; some will mail in their gold. However, these two options will not bring as much return on investment as a local gold buyer.
Some local dealers will tell you the difference can be substantial. And they’ll tell you that if you’re concerned about getting the best price for your gold—or anything else you want to sell—information and comparative shopping are your best defense.
“I think people just find us different than the usual gold buyer,” says Alicia Keating of Nassau Gold Buyers, which has been seen on networks such as CNN and NBC, as well as featured in The New York Post and The Times Herald Record for offering the best value and highest payout on gold jewelry. “We are more upscale, are very friendly and offer a lot of expertise.”
The professionals at Nassau Gold Buyers have many years of experience and have earned a “sterling” reputation for doing business right and taking care of their customers, offering the highest payout for anything brought into any of their seven locations.
What began as a jewelry store has now become one of the Island’s most popular buyers of gold jewelry and coins. Nassau Gold Buyers is a family owned and operated business that has been serving Long Island for more than 25 years. Their staff includes GIA Alumni, third-generation jewelers, fine art specialists, and expert watch makers and repairmen.
Nassau Buyers will buy your gold, platinum and silver jewelry, including engagement, anniversary or cocktail rings, precious and semi-precious stones, diamonds, fine gold, earrings, bracelets, class rings, watches, antiques, oil paintings, sterling silver flatware, American coins minted before 1964 and gold coins. And it’s worth it—believe it or not, a few earrings can add up to nearly a hundred pennyweights, which can be worth between $2,000 and $2,500, depending on the quality of the gold.
Keating is finding that gold buyers across LI are becoming increasingly popular with the sinking economy. “People are going through their scraps and turning their gold into cash,” she says. “Mortgage brokers and stock brokers are turning in their Rolex’s just to make ends meet.”
For people who do not have much gold but wish to profit off the gold-buying trend, Gold Parties are the answer. Gone are the days when women invited friends into their homes to purchase goods from catalogs. The new suburban trend is taking advantage of gold’s all-time high price by bringing gold-buying shops to their living rooms, at which their friends, family and co-workers can come and bring their unwanted gold and jewelry to sell. Guests are thrilled because they leave with a pocket full of cash and have a great time. Being a host has its perks too—the host of the gold party receives 10 percent commission on the total sale, as well as $60 for refreshments. Hosts often make up to $4,000 in as little as two hours.
Not only does Nassau Buyers pay you cash for gold items, but they educate sellers on the process as well. No appointment is necessary and they’re available at several locations throughout the Island. Their motto has always been to tell your friends to “leave their wallets at home, because they will be leaving with cash!”
