How is the value of my gold determined?
Your payout is based on three key factors: the live market price of gold (spot price), the purity (karat) of your items, and their total weight. Our GIA-certified appraisers use state-of-the-art X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) scanners to determine the exact purity and weight without damaging your items. We base our offers on these precise measurements and the real-time market prices to ensure you get the highest possible payout.
