If you are looking to sell your unwanted, unused scrap gold, look no further. At Devon Gold, you can either sell your scrap gold to us online or in-store, whichever is more convenient to you! With the current prices we offer for gold, it is now a favourable time to sell us. However, it can often be a looming question to where is best to sell – online or at a shop? The following guide will introduce you to the benefits and drawbacks of both options.

Selling in-store

Throughout history, buying and selling gold has been done in person, as it is convenient and quick. Only recently has it become popular to sell your gold online. A jeweller is specially trained in calculating the value and worth of various gold and scrap jewellery, which is why the preferred method of selling is done in store. The main benefits to selling in store are as followed:

• It is very quick and convenient – this is because the transaction is done almost immediately, with the pricing and payment done on the spot.
• Easy money – once an offer is accepted, you can get money for your gold there and then.
• Easier – it is much easier than filling out online forms and waiting for a valuation and for money to come back to you.

The cons, however, include that of pricing and security. In terms of price, many different jewellery and gold stores offer different prices, with some offering 3 times as much as another. The important step in selling gold in a store is researching which store offers the best price. This adds significant time onto the process and can make the whole process longer for you. In terms of security, it is said to be unsafe for somebody to carry around expensive gold or jewellery to shops, as they are easily preyed on by criminals.

Selling online

The other method of selling your scrap gold or jewellery is online. This can be done on the Devon Gold website by simply filling out a form and sending your gold to us. For more information on this service, please take a tour of our website, as a full description of the service is on there. This can be significantly more convenient for those customers who are too busy to often visit a store. The benefits of selling your gold online are listed below:

• Pricing – the price is usually the best possible, as it is compared to other gold sites nationally, compared to just locally.
• Less time consumer – you will save time doing everything online and sending your gold off, rather than going from shop-to-shop trying to sell your gold.
• No risk of anything being stolen.

The one main disadvantage to selling gold online is that of online scammers. There is a rise of online scammers, especially in the gold industry. Therefore it is important to ensure that the website you are selling to is legit and have significant reviews/services listed on their site. Another disadvantage is that of delays – as it will take up to a week to get any money for the gold you have posted off.
