Our Pricing: Transparent, Live, and Volume-Tiered

Our buy prices are tied directly to live Kitco market spot prices and published openly on our website. Your calculation is always simple: our price × the weight. No hidden fees. No surprises.

To reward clients who bring larger collections, we offer volume-tiered pricing:

  • Under 25g — highly competitive rate

  • 25g – 50g — higher rate per gram

​How It Works

Selling your gold or silver at FairGold is simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Step 1 — Bring Your Items

 Walk in during business hours, Sunday through Friday, with no appointment needed. For estate collections or home evaluations, call (514) 234-0192 to schedule. Bring a valid government-issued ID as required by Quebec law.

Step 2 — XRF Testing in Your Presence 

We test each item's exact purity using our Vanta GX PIN XRF analyzer while you watch. You see the precise gold or silver content displayed on screen — no scratch tests, no acid tests, no hidden math.

Step 3 — Get Paid the Same Day 

We calculate your offer using our live Kitco-based prices. If you accept, you are paid immediately in cash, e-Transfer, cheque, or wire transfer. Every cash payment is machine-counted and double-verified with UV and counterfeit detection — right in front of you.

Already Have an Offer? Bring It In.

We provide free second opinions on any written offer from another buyer. If someone else made you an offer, let us look at it — we will tell you honestly whether you can do better. All in-store evaluations are completely free and carry no obligation to sell.

How We Test: The Vanta GX PIN XRF Analyzer

Guesswork has no place in precious metals buying. Our industrial-grade Vanta GX PIN XRF ( X-Ray Fluorescence) spectrometer determines the precise elemental composition of your items in seconds — non-destructively, with no damage to your jewelry. The result appears on screen in front of you, confirming exact purity before we make any offer. This is the same technology used by professional refiners and assay labs.

Why exact purity testing puts more money in your pocket

Most gold buyers use scratch or acid testing — a method that can only confirm common karats like 10K, 14K, and 18K. If your piece falls between those marks, they have no choice but to pay you at the lower confirmed karat.

A piece that is actually 13K gets paid as 10K. A piece that is 12K gets paid as 10K. You absorb the difference.

Our Vanta GX PIN XRF analyzer reads the precise elemental composition of your gold — not just the nearest common karat. A 13.5K piece pays as 13.5K. A 12K piece pays as 12K. On heavier pieces or larger collections, that difference adds up significantly.

You see the exact number on screen. We pay the exact number. Nothing rounded down.

Do i need an appointment?

FairGold Montreal welcomes walk-ins during regular business hours — no appointment is required for standard jewelry, scrap gold, silver, or small coin transactions. For larger collections, estate jewelry, coins, bullion, or home evaluations, customers can call 514-234-0192 in advance to reserve a private appointment.

Does FairGold Montreal offer home evaluations?

es. FairGold Montreal offers free home and estate evaluations through a specialized female mobile agent serving the Greater Montreal area, including the Island of Montreal, Laval, the South Shore, and surrounding communities within approximately 25 km of the Côte-Saint-Luc storefront. There is no travel fee. The minimum collection value to qualify is assessed case-by-case based on travel distance and traffic conditions. Appointments are arranged by phone at 514-234-0192.

What payment methods do you offer when buying from customers?

FairGold offers four fee-free same-day payment methods: cash, Interac e-Transfer, cheque, or wire transfer. All methods are offered at the same final price with no extra fees, and the seller chooses the payment method that works best.

Does FairGold Montreal buy broken gold jewelry?

Yes. FairGold Montreal buys gold jewelry, including broken, bent, tangled, damaged pieces, single earrings, broken chains, scrap pieces, and pieces with missing stones. Broken jewelry can still have value because the price is based on gold purity, weight, and current market value rather than whether the item is wearable.

Does FairGold Montreal buy diamonds, watches and dental gold?

Yes to all three. Diamonds: We evaluate diamond jewelry based on the 4Cs (minimum 20 points / 0.20 carats, SI2 or better clarity). Watches: All brands evaluated through our consulting watch specialist. Dental gold: Crowns, bridges, inlays, and fillings accepted — XRF testing confirms exact gold content. Bring any certificates (GIA, IGI, EGL) for diamonds, original boxes/papers for watches. 

Does FairGold Montreal buy silver of all purity?

Yes. We buy all real silver content: sterling silver (.925), European antique silver (.800, .835, .875), Russian Imperial (.916), French standard (.950), pure silver bullion (.999/.9999), and silver coins (pre-1968 Canadian, pre-1965 US, world silver coins). All silver is XRF-tested for exact purity. We do not buy silver-plated items (EPNS, EP, EPBM, 1847 Rogers Bros, etc.) — only real silver content.
