Sell Your Gold Payouts
How Much Will Sell Your Gold Pay for Your Items?
There is no single gold buyer payout percentage for every item. Sell Your Gold evaluates each item individually and may pay up to 95% of market value for eligible bullion and up to 90% of market value for eligible precious metals and diamonds, subject to the Terms and Conditions.
Precious-metal offers are primarily based on metal type, purity, weight and current market prices. Depending on the item, the evaluation may also consider gemstones, authenticity, brand, condition, certification, rarity and collector or market demand.

Your Offer Explained
How Do We Calculate Your Offer?
Sell Your Gold calculates your offer after documenting, testing and professionally evaluating the items you send. The factors considered depend on the type of item and where its value comes from.
What Factors Affect Your Offer?
- Metal type and purity: We identify whether an item contains gold, silver or platinum and determine the purity of the precious metal.
- Weight and precious-metal content: We weigh applicable items and determine how much precious metal they contain.
- Quantity: The amount of eligible material you send may affect the pricing tier used to calculate your offer.
- Current market prices: We reference current precious-metal market prices at the time of evaluation.
- Additional item-specific value: Depending on the item, we may also consider gemstones, authenticity, brand, model, certification, rarity, condition and collector or market demand.
Broken or damaged condition does not reduce the payout for the precious-metal content of ordinary jewelry or scrap. Condition may affect an offer when an item could have additional value as a coin, diamond, luxury watch, branded piece or collectible.
Current Gold, Silver and Platinum Spot Prices
Spot prices provide a market reference for raw precious metals. They are not guaranteed purchase prices and do not account for all the item-specific factors used to calculate an offer.

What If You Receive a Higher Offer?

Preliminary Estimate
Can I Get an Estimate Before Sending My Items?
Yes. Call Sell Your Gold at (888) 465-3860 for a free, no-obligation preliminary estimate. Tell us what you’re considering selling, and our team will walk you through the details that may affect its value. You don’t need to know the exact weight, purity or spot price before you call. The estimate is a starting point; we provide a final offer after your items arrive and are evaluated.
-
Identify the Item
Tell us whether you have jewelry, coins, bullion, diamonds, a watch or another eligible item. If you can see a karat stamp, mint mark, brand or model number, have that information handy. It’s okay if you can’t find one.
-
Share the Details
Let us know how many items you have and anything else you know about them, such as their approximate weight, condition, gemstones or collectible features. We’ll help you sort through what matters; you don’t need to calculate a value yourself.
-
Send the Item With Supporting Documents
If you decide to move forward, follow the instructions in your free Appraisal Kit. Include any available grading reports, assay cards, receipts or watch papers that may help us evaluate your items, and keep copies for your records. Once your items arrive, we’ll examine them and send you a final offer to review.
Estimate disclosure: A preliminary estimate is based on the information you share with us and is not a guaranteed offer. The final offer amount is determined from the actual pieces we receive and the characteristics we verify during evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers About Gold-Buyer Payouts
-
How much do gold buyers pay for gold?
The amount varies by buyer and item. Sell Your Gold may pay up to 95% of market value for bullion and up to 90% of market value for eligible precious metals, subject to the Terms. Jewelry, coins, diamonds and watches may also be affected by item-specific characteristics.
-
How can I estimate my payout before selling?
Call Sell Your Gold at (888) 465-3860 for a free preliminary estimate before sending your items. Tell us what you have and share any details you know, such as karat markings, approximate weight, coin type or grading documents. You do not need to calculate a payout yourself. Your final offer is determined after we receive, test and evaluate your items.
-
Why is a gold buyer's offer different from melt value?
Gold melt value estimates an item's gold content using its weight, purity and the current spot price. It is a reference point, not a guaranteed sale price. Sell Your Gold evaluates the item and considers the applicable price basis, quantity and any additional value, such as coin collectibility, diamonds or brand, before making an offer.
-
How do gold buyers calculate an offer?
Buyers may consider current precious-metal prices, metal type, purity, weight, quantity, condition, brand, manufacturer, gemstones, diamond characteristics, authenticity and numismatic value. The relevant mix depends on the item.
-
What percentage of spot price do gold buyers pay?
There's no single spot-price percentage for every item. Sell Your Gold pays up to 95% of market price for eligible bullion and up to 90% of market value for gold items such as jewelry and scrap.†† To see what we'd pay for yours, request a free Appraisal Kit for a professional evaluation and a no-obligation offer. Learn how offers are calculated.
-
How do weight and purity affect a gold buyer's offer?
Purity indicates the share of an item that is precious metal, while weight indicates how much material is present. Together they help establish metal value, but they may not capture brand, gemstone or collectible value.
-
What affects a gold buyer's offer?
Market prices, purity, weight, quantity, condition, authenticity, manufacturer, brand, gemstones, diamond characteristics and collectible demand may all affect an offer. Not every factor applies to every item.
