Common Mistakes People Make When Selling Gold
One mistake we see regularly is people focusing only on advertised prices. The final offer, testing method, and any deductions are often more important than the headline rate.
Another common mistake is assuming all gold items have the same value. Purity, weight, condition and the type of item can all affect what it is worth.
