Whether you’ve inherited old jewelry, found a stash of coins, or simply want to cash in on rising gold prices, selling gold can be a smart move—if you know what you’re doing.
At Looda House Pawn, we help Temecula locals turn their gold into cash every day, and we believe you should be armed with the facts before you sell.
Here’s how to get the most for your gold—without the guesswork.
Gold comes in many forms:
10k, 14k, 18k, 22k jewelry
Gold coins (e.g. American Eagle, Krugerrand, Maple Leaf)
Scrap or broken pieces
Bullion bars or rounds
Each has different purity levels and resale demand. At Looda House Pawn, we test for purity on-site using non-invasive, industry-grade equipment.
Before selling, look up the current spot price of gold. You can use sites like Kitco or MarketWatch to get live updates.
Keep in mind: most buyers won’t pay 100% of spot price due to refining and resale costs. But honest pawn shops (like us) offer competitive percentages—and we’ll show you exactly how it’s calculated.
Tempted by “cash-for-gold” mail-in envelopes or ads? Be cautious.
These often:
Underpay
Don’t explain pricing
Have long wait times and poor customer service
A local, licensed buyer like Looda House Pawn will always provide face-to-face transparency.
Original receipts, certificates, or branded packaging (like from Tiffany or Cartier) can increase your payout. We pay more for branded, authenticated pieces than for generic scrap.
When evaluating your gold, we consider:
Weight & purity (k-value and grams)
Current market prices
Brand value
Condition & resale potential
We’ll walk you through it all in-store, no pressure, no shady tactics.
We pay top dollar for gold in all forms
Transparent evaluations with on-site testing
