Why our offers run higher
When you sell to a pawn shop or a mail-in company, your gold usually changes hands two or three times before it reaches a refinery — and every middleman takes their cut out of your payout. We skip all of that. North County Gold sells directly to the refinery at near-full melt value, so there's simply more left over to pay you. Same gold, shorter chain, bigger check.

How Pricing Works
Offers are based on purity, weight, the current market price, and item type. We test every item with an XRF analyzer and weigh it in front of you — then make a clear offer from the live market price.
Common Questions
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. We buy by private appointment only — no walk-in sales floor. It keeps things discreet and unhurried.
Can I text photos first?
Absolutely. Text photos of your items and we'll give you a preliminary range before you come in.
How do I know I'm getting a fair price?
We test every item with an XRF analyzer right in front of you and weigh it on a calibrated scale you can watch. Offers are tied to the live market price at refinery-direct rates — no guesswork and no hidden margins.
Why can you pay more than other buyers?
Most buyers resell your gold to a wholesaler, who resells it to a refinery. Each step takes a percentage of your payout. We sell directly to the refinery, so those middleman cuts go to you instead.
Do I need to bring ID?
Yes. California law requires a valid photo ID for precious-metals purchases. It's a sign we operate as a fully licensed, legitimate buyer.
What if I don't accept the offer?
No pressure and no obligation. If the offer isn't right for you, your items are handed straight back and nothing changes.
Do you buy broken jewelry, single earrings, or dental gold?
Yes. Condition doesn't matter — the value is in the metal. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and dental gold are all welcome.
How do I get paid?
When you accept an offer, you're paid the same day by cash or check at your appointment.
