If you are selling precious metals, we highly recommend that you call around first, comparing our quotes with those of our competitors. If the company has a chart on their website, indicating what they pay-out, study it carefully.  Is there a minimum order of 10-50 ounces to receive the amount they are quoting?  In our store, the average customer sells 38 pennyweights of gold, which equates to 1.9 ounces.  With this in mind, ask the merchant what you will pay for smaller orders.  You may be very surprised.  In short, education and comparison are the key to making the right decision, no matter what you are buying.

Unfortunately, there are some merchants that don't seem to understand the concept of fair play.  Their way of doing business is to prey upon the desperate and/or uneducated seller, rather than trying to building long-term relationships.  The saddest customer is the one that doesn't even realize that he or she has been cheated.

At Arnold Jewelers, it is our sincere goal to make you a satisfied customer for life, whether you're selling scrap gold, or buying a new diamond ring.  We have been proudly serving the Tampa Bay area since 1985.  We would welcome an opportunity to earn your trust. However, we sincerely wish you well, no matter where you decide to do business.
