Sell Smart

Why don't other Buyers tell you what percentage of the Value of Your Metal they will pay you?

Because they don't want you to know how much you're adding to their Bottom Line.

In any other marketplace, whether shopping for cars or food, prices are clearly labeled and easily accessible.  At Rick's Olde Gold, we believe that the experience of selling your gold and silver should feature the same tranparency and availability of information.

That's why we fully explain every offer, providing you with complete information about your items, their value, and how that number is calculated.  We do the conversions in front of you.  And if we make a deal, we provide a detailed receipt that walks you through every step.

We buy the following

  • Diamond engagement and wedding rings.  We pay a premium for GIA and EGL certified diamonds!

  • Loose diamonds and other precious stones

  • Scrap gold jewelry

  • Gold and silver coins.  We offer close to spot on gold coins!

  • Sterling silver of all types (excluding silver plated)

  • Designer and vintage watches (Rolex, Movado, Ciziten, Tag Heuer, Gucci, Invicta, and others)

  • Vintage Stereo

  • Musical Intruments
