Gold Guy

Clifton, Colorado

First time selling gold near Clifton? You will know what is happening at every step.

Selling gold is something most people do only a time or two, so nobody from Clifton is expected to arrive knowing the trade. You can come with a handful of jewelry, a few old coins and no idea what any of it is worth.

The Gold Guy does the explaining. He tells you what each piece is, shows you how it is tested and weighed, and gives you the offer in writing so you can read it at your own pace.

Every question is a good one with us.
A small lot gets the same care as a large one.
You decide after you have seen the numbers.

Why first-time sellers from Clifton choose the Gold Guy

You are told what you have

Before any price is mentioned, you hear what each piece is made of and how we know.

Small lots are welcome

One ring is worth a visit. It gets the same attention a full collection would.

You watch the whole thing

Your items stay on the table where you can see them, and the Gold Guy says what he is doing as he does it.

The offer is easy to read

It shows the weight, the purity, the metal price used that day and the total. If a line puzzles you, ask, and we go back over it.

There is room to think

Take the written offer home, talk to your family and come back another day if you wish. Silence is never treated as a yes.

What people bring us from Clifton

A first visit often means a mix, and a mix is fine. We buy gold rings, chains, bracelets and earrings, including the broken ones. We buy sterling silver, silver dollars, old coins, bullion and the contents of a jewelry box that has come down through the family.

Gold and silver are valued on what the piece weighs, how pure it is and the metal price that day. A coin can have a fourth thing going for it, which is what a collector would pay, and we look for that before the coin is treated as metal. Scrap gold goes by its refined value, so the figure can come in under the spot price you see online.

What your first visit looks like

Before you come. Send us a few lines about what you have, then bring the items as they are and a valid government-issued photo ID.
Side by side. We look at each piece with you, test it and weigh it. Ask anything you like along the way.
After the offer. Read it, think about it and decide. When you are ready to sell, we pay within 24 hours. It can be a check, an ACH transfer or store credit.

You stay in charge the whole time.

Getting an offer is complimentary, and it leaves you free to do whatever you like. Sell everything, sell one piece or thank us and head home with all of it.

For a first sale, the wise move is to pick a dealer who explains the work and writes it down. You will know what you had, what it weighed and how the total was reached.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I sell jewelry near Clifton?

Bring it to the Gold Guy. He buys jewelry, gold, silver and coins from people in Clifton, Fruitvale and the rest of Mesa County, and he writes every offer out.

I have never sold gold before. What should I expect?

Expect to do a good deal of looking and asking. We tell you what each piece is, show you the test and the weight, and hand you an offer you can read line by line.

Why do you need my ID?

Colorado and federal law require dealers to record who they buy from, so we ask every seller for a valid government-issued photo ID. For some items the law also sets a hold period before they can be melted or resold.

Is it worth coming from Clifton with only one or two pieces?

Yes. A single ring or a couple of silver dollars gets our full attention, and you leave knowing what they are.

Tell us what you have.

A few lines will do. Tell us what it is, roughly how much of it there is, and any stamps or dates you can read, and we will write back with what to bring and what to expect. If you are still working out what is in the box, the seller quiz will sort it out in a few minutes.
