Q: How is my pricing tier determined?
Answer:
Your tier is determined by your TOTAL combined gold weight across all karats and items, calculated after XRF purity verification. Example: 15g of 14K jewelry + 12g of 18K jewelry = 27 grams total = Premium Tier (25-50g) Key points: • All gold items count toward your total weight • Each karat priced separately within your tier • Bring everything in one visit for the best tier • Estate collections, broken pieces, and bullion all count • XRF testing verifies exact purity before weighing The three tiers: • Tier 1 (Standard Rate): Under 25 grams • Tier 2 (Premium Rate): 25 to 50 grams • Tier 3 (Best Rate): Over 50 grams
Q: Is the price the same for everyone?
Answer:
Yes — within each tier. Our published tier prices apply equally to every customer. What this means: • Same prices for every customer at the same tier • No negotiation needed or offered • No special insider pricing for regulars • No "premium customer" pricing • What you see published is exactly what you receive Why we operate this way: ✓ Fair to all customers ✓ Transparent and predictable ✓ Builds trust through consistency ✓ Premium dealer behavior ✓ Removes pressure from the evaluation experience.
Q: Why are different karats priced differently?
Answer:
Each karat represents a different percentage of pure gold content. Higher purity = higher price per gram. Gold purity by karat: • 10K = 41.7% pure gold • 14K = 58.3% pure gold • 18K = 75% pure gold • 22K = 91.7% pure gold • 24K = 99.9% pure gold Pricing logic: • Each karat has its own published price per gram • Within each tier, karats are priced separately • Your offer combines all karats at their respective tier prices • XRF testing confirms the exact karat before pricing Example calculation: • 20g of 18K (75% pure) at Premium tier price • 7g of 14K (58.3% pure) at Premium tier price • Total = 27g qualifies for Premium tier • Final offer = (20g × 18K price) + (7g × 14K price)

Q: Do prices include any fees?
Answer:
No. Our published tier prices are final — what you see is what you receive per gram. What's NOT included in our pricing: • No hidden fees • No commissions • No service charges • No "testing fees" • No "evaluation fees" • No transaction fees • No payment method fees How we make money: We profit from the difference between our buying price and the refinery/wholesale market price. This margin is built into our published rates — completely transparent.

No premium for any payment type.
