Finding gold in nature is nothing less than a daunting task. Finding it in old jewelry, household items, and more, can be equally taxing, just at a lesser physical level. Once the gold is accumulated, however, there is yet another task to be executed: that of actually selling your gold for the best possible price. Finding a fair price, whether you're talking about golden nuggets or scrap gold, takes time and effort. Making non-lucrative errors when selling gold can end up costing the seller.

Whether you have discovered a natural source of gold and have prospected a fair amount, or if you discovered gold in another location – such as in jewelry and household items – we are going to fill you in on some of those non-lucrative errors. Hopefully, with this information, you will be able to avoid making the same mistakes.

All Refineries Are Not Created Equally

This can be said for just about every business on the planet. Some gold refineries are honest and reputable while others… not so much. All too often, people settle for the first refinery they see advertised or, worse yet, a roadside sign. Check out who you're going to be dealing with before you actually settle on a refinery. Read online reviews. Talk to people. Check out the BBB site (Better Business Bureau). There are lots of ways to check on businesses these days so don't hesitate to do so. It could end up costing you dearly if you settle for a refinery with a less than desirable reputation.

Gold Nuggets Getting Melted Down

If you're looking to make some quick money, there's nothing wrong with trading in your gold with various levels of gold exchanges and/or refineries. However, when it comes to natural gold nuggets, the same cannot be said. Make sure that you are dealing with a reputable, honest refinery or gold nugget collector in order to fetch the highest prices.

Usually, only for its melt value, would some pawn shops and other gold exchange locations be interested in your gold nugget. Fetch the best price for that market by dealing with the right people/services.

Selling Too Fast or Too Little

As just suggested, sometimes you are in need of a little quick cash. We would like to suggest, however, that you refrain from panic selling when it comes to your gold. There are lots of ways to grab a little extra pocket change other than letting go of scrap gold, gold nuggets, gold jewelry, etc., for prices that are far too low.

Once again, check out the refinery that you are dealing with. Ask around for current gold prices. Doing your homework and research may take time, but it will save you regret later.
