Today gold is more than $1600 per ounce, and silver is almost $16 per ounce. It doesn't take numerous ounces of silver to venture into the many dollars, and it doesn't take a lot of gold to venture into the huge number of dollars. However, I alert you: there's a lot of "Deliberate misdirection" you'll face when selling your valuable metals, and it's totally intended to help the Buyer and not the Seller.
In the event that you don't have the foggiest idea how the game is played, in the event that you don't know unequivocally what you have... before you sell it... at that point, you're a superb possibility to be exploited when selling. Here are only a couple of things you should know, and a couple of things you should possess, prior to endeavoring to sell your valuable metal fortunes.
Avoirdupois versus Official Ounces
If you don't comprehend the contrast between the two, and on the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea how to change over one into the other, at that point you'll likely be exploited. Avoirdupois Ounces are restroom scale or shop scale loads. Valuable metals are gauged utilizing Troy Ounces, which is an entirely unexpected weight estimation. You would be wise to gain proficiency with the distinction.
Ounces versus Pennyweights versus Grams
Each Troy Ounce contains 20 Pennyweights (dwt.) or 31.1 Grams (g). A few Buyers use Grams to compute esteem, while others use Pennyweights. It will fluctuate from store to store. Also, on the off chance that you don't see how these work, and in the event that you can't change over one into the other, you will presumably be exploited eventually.
Real Silver Fineness
You should comprehend the Sterling Silver is consistently 92.5% unadulterated silver and 7.5% base metal. Never any pretty much.
Other Silver Fineness
You should comprehend that a few nations utilized a silver standard other than Sterling, for example, 95%, 90%, 90%, 83.5%, or 80%. Each is checked contrastingly and you need to see how to distinguish the different markings and separate one from the other.
Strong versus Weighted Sterling
There is a major contrast between Solid Sterling and Weighted Sterling. The two metals contain 92.5% unadulterated silver, yet Weighted Sterling contains a hefty concrete to help keep the piece from spilling. Also, nobody will pay you for concrete.
Non-Silver
If you imagine that German Silver, Alpaca Silver, or Sheffield Silver are genuine silver, you would be mixed up. Also, it could set you back.
Gold Fineness
If you don't comprehend the contrast between 10k, 14k, and 18k gold, it could likewise cost you profoundly. This is fundamental and, with gold at $1,600+ per ounce, a slight error could cost you thousands.
Different Golds
If you don't have a clue about the distinction between Rolled Gold, Gold Plate, Gold Fill, Gold Vermeil, or Gold-Tone... it could likewise cost you gobs of cash.
Troy Weight Scale
If you don't possess a $15 valuable metals scale, you can't appropriately weigh what you own, and you won't know unequivocally what you have.
Valuable Metal Test Kit
If you don't claim a $15 basic analysis unit that empowers you to test or potentially affirm the fineness of gold and silver, at that point you won't have the option to affirm definitely what you do, or don't, have.
Precious stone Tester
If you don't possess a $15 Diamond Tester, how might you realize whether it's a genuine jewel or phony glue? (Did you actually hear the narrative of the family that sold Mom's $10,000 precious stone ring for $10 on the grounds that they thought it was ensemble gems?).
Is the Buyer's Scale Accurate? Would you be able to decide if the Buyer's scale is set to an estimation that favors them over you?
Counterfeit Gold and Sterling Items
Fake US and Foreign Coins are made to look true however they're most certainly not. What's more, we're seeing an expanding number of phony adornments things checked "Real", or with counterfeit "10k, 14k, 18k" gold markings. Most have been fabricated in China and imported here. Would you be able to differentiate?
Are the Gemstones Real or Faux? Would you be able to differentiate between genuine and counterfeit gemstones? Also, the estimation of each?
Purchaser Reputation and Longevity
Does the Buyer have broad experience, or have they as of late opened? I would much rather manage somebody who's been doing business, at that equivalent area, for quite a while timeframe. You don't remain in business for quite a long time except if you treat individuals reasonably.
Continuously recollect this
The Seller consistently needs however much as could be expected, while the Buyer needs to pay as meager as could really be expected. In the event that you end up someplace in the center, you're most likely OK. Yet, in the event that you don't comprehend the estimation of what you own... before you sell it... you'll presumably be exploited.

WHAT'S IT WORTH?
We were helping a lady from Florida to sell some Sterling Silver flatware she had shipped off us. Before we sold it, we called her with our determined weight and assessed re-deal esteem. Her quick reaction was that our weight didn't coordinate hers and sounded excessively light. I posed her three inquiries
- Did she gauge it on a restroom scale? Truly, she had.
- Did she gauge it while the fabric coverings that secured the different pieces were still on? Indeed, she had.
- Did she gauge the Sterling-took care of blades at full weight instead of simply figuring in the heaviness of the empty Sterling handle. Indeed, she had.
We took her weight, at that point deducted the fabric covering weight, and the Sterling blade gauge, and changed over her Avoirdupois weight to Troy ounces. Furthermore, prepare to be blown away. We were right on the money. Also, she was at last upbeat.
