The places like cash4gold, 47thstreetbuyers, and empiregold are just ridiculous in there payouts. Usually it ranges between 20-35% IF YOU’RE LUCKY. Thats just crap
Being in the Diamond district for a while, I found a lot of places that will give you a good deal based on craftsmanship or metal type
Futurama – corner of 47th street and 6th ave New York – is a great place for selling jewelery with HIGH craftsmanship. If its a tiffany ring or something like that, sell it there
Ross Precious Metals -47 west 47th street Floor 6 New York- is a great place to sell anything with precious metals (old/broken/incomplete jewelery). They don’t pay for craftsmanship, but boy do they pay for the weight.
