When you want to sell gold, whether it is old, broken, and unwanted jewelry or gold coins and bullion, there is one important rule of thumb: an educated consumer is a smart consumer. If you are selling old gold jewelry, much of the retail price takes into account the specific piece's artistic design and the retail price usually reflects a 300-400% markup relative to the cost of the actual materials. For example, a $300 unwanted gold wedding ring or herringbone gold necklace probably had about $100 in actual gold value at the time the item was made. In the scrap gold market, the items are usually sold at some discount to the actual gold value ? usually anywhere from 20-50% depending on how you sell your gold.
