What is your gold actually worth?

Enter the karat or purity and the weight. Melt value is the pure metal content at today’s spot price; local shops pay a share of that for scrap, and closer to spot for coins and bars.

How to use these prices

These melt values tell you the raw material worth of your gold. Local buyers typically pay 70–90% of melt value — the difference covers testing, refining, and business costs. Use these numbers as a baseline when negotiating. If a buyer offers significantly below 70% of melt, shop around.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I get for my Gold?

It depends on the model, condition, and specs. Cracked or damaged devices sell for less but many local buyers still purchase them. You’ll get a real quote when you connect with a buyer in your city.

Do I need to factory reset my Gold before selling?

Yes — sign out of your accounts (Apple ID/iCloud or Google account), remove any activation or device lock, and factory reset your Gold before meeting your buyer. This protects your personal data, and buyers require it before purchasing.

What if my Gold has a cracked screen or other damage?

Many local buyers still purchase Gold devices with cracked screens, battery issues, or other faults — they repair and resell them. You’ll get a lower price than a device in perfect condition, but it’s still worth selling rather than letting it sit in a drawer.

Is it safe to sell my Gold to a local buyer?

Yes, with basic precautions. Meet in a public place (a coffee shop, a phone store lobby, or a police station exchange zone). Bring a friend if possible. Agree on the price before handing anything over. Erase your data beforehand so there’s nothing personal on the device.

How is Trade Into Cash different from Craigslist?

On Craigslist you’re dealing with random strangers and managing the entire process yourself. Trade Into Cash connects you with established local buyers — people who buy Gold devices professionally, offer consistent pricing, and make the process fast and predictable. No lowball offers, no no-shows.
