Where to sell my gold?

Solved/Closed
bernadette du 68 -  
Hello,
Could someone point me to a reliable, French, and secure website that buys gold at a good price?
I’m a little hesitant to go online considering the articles I’ve read, but it seems that online gold buybacks offer more attractive prices?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Bernadette.

    Hello

    Avoid 'distance selling'... Risk of scams, 'loss' by the Post (Especially since the address generally leaves no doubt for the 'feelers' of envelopes...).

      no site is secure and reliable and even if you find one your gold could be stolen by the post in case you send it back by mail.
      the best thing is to check in the yellow pages gold buyback there are gold merchants everywhere in the big cities.

        Hello,

        "It seems" ... and well, that’s not true.

        You will go 10 times faster by going to a jeweler.

        Compare the price of gold on the market (be careful, gold is quoted at 24 carats, and most jewelry is at 18, so if the market indicates a price of 100/kg and your jewelry weighs 1kg, it actually contains 750g of gold (most jewelers play on this).

        Online prices are NOT more interesting, generally speaking, of course (I’m not saying there aren’t exceptions)...

          Hello Bruce,
          You seem to know the subject well, can I ask for your advice????
          I went to www.cashbygold.fr.
          This site buys my jewelry for €3/gram more than in stores, (almost €23/gram) and since I have an interesting quantity to sell and I have heard good things about it (I researched the stores affiliated with the site, they have an excellent reputation), should I trust them???

          The price is always quoted for one gram of gold at X carats. Check that the price given corresponds to the gold content of your jewelry.

          That said, personally, I always prefer to visit 2/3 shops. At least, the transaction is done hand to hand :)

        Yes, go to a jewelry store instead, I think they'll buy it back from you at a good price.

          And what do you prefer? Losing €10 off the total by going to a real jewelry store or losing everything in the mail by believing anything and everything you see on the internet?

          How much do we bet that you'll come crying in a while because your gold disappeared along the way?

            There are plenty of stores that have opened recently that exchange gold for cash. However, if it's coins, make sure to check as they may be worth more than their weight.

              There are indeed websites that buy gold, but there must be a great deal of trust between the parties involved.

                Yes, as Afrikarnak points out, never send gold by mail; if the address of a gold buyer is visible, the shipment will be intercepted during sorting and you will have no recourse to get a refund.
