Good To Know

You Don't Need to Be a Gold Expert

Most people who bring in gold have never sold it before — that's completely normal. We walk you through every piece out loud, so you know exactly how we got to your number. Rings, chains, dental gold, coins, boxed designer pieces: if it's gold, we'll tell you what it's worth before you decide anything.

How We Price

Weight in grams times purity times the live spot price. If there are stones set in the piece, we look at those separately too.

Also Accepted

Single earrings, bent rings, pieces with missing stones. None of that changes the gold content.

How We Price

Melt value as a starting point, then we add a premium for brand, condition, and how easy the piece is to resell. Signed pieces from the right houses can go well above scrap price.

Boxes & Papers

Bring them if you have them, since they can help the resale value, but we'll still make a fair offer without them.

How We Price

Same rule as everything else: weight, purity, live spot price. Thick Cuban links and rope chains carry real weight, so don't be surprised if the number is bigger than you expected.

Broken Clasps

A busted clasp or a snapped link doesn't cost you anything. We're paying for the gold, not the hardware.

How We Price

Weight and purity against live spot, plus a small premium for rare dates or limited mintages if it applies to your coin.

What We Accept

Dental crowns, bridgework, single earrings, tangled chains you've been meaning to deal with for years. If it's gold, it's worth bringing in.

How We Price

Straight melt value based on karat and weight. Condition doesn't hurt you here. See the full broken gold & scrap page.

How We Check the Value of Your Gold

Nothing happens behind a curtain. Here's the exact process we run on every piece, right at the counter, while you watch.

Done in under 5 minutes

Close inspection of a gold ring for hallmarks and stamps

Step 1

Look It Over

We check for a hallmark stamp like 10K, 14K, or 18K — a starting point we always verify further.

Gold acid testing solutions for 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K gold

Step 2

Run an Acid Test

A tiny scratch and a drop of karat-matched acid tells us fast if the gold is what it claims to be.

Electronic precious metal verifier testing a gold coin

Step 3

Confirm Electronically

For pieces we don't want to mark, an electronic verifier reads purity with zero damage.

Weighing gold jewelry on a scale

Step 4

Weigh & Check Live Price

We weigh the piece in grams and multiply against today's live spot price for gold.

Live Reference Price

This is a live third-party gold price feed, not our exact quote. It's here so you can see roughly where the market sits before you come in. Your actual offer depends on karat, weight, and condition, so treat this as a reference point, not a promise.

Selling a Specific Kind of Gold

Gold comes in very different forms and each is priced a different way. These go deeper than this page does.

Gold chains & necklaces — karat stamps, and why hollow chains weigh so much less than they look

Collectible gold coins — pre-1933 US gold, Sovereigns, and when collector premium beats melt

Bars & bullion coins — spot-based pricing, recognized refiners, and why to keep the assay card sealed

Broken gold & scrap jewelry — snapped chains, single earrings, dental gold, and why condition barely moves the number

Selling in the East Village — who walks in, what to bring, and why 47th Street is optional for a chain and a few rings

FAQ

Gold Selling Questions, Answered Straight

The questions we hear most, including the ones people are usually too polite to ask out loud.

Where can I sell gold in NYC?
East Village Buyers at 39 Avenue A, between 2nd and 3rd Street in Manhattan's East Village. Walk in during store hours with whatever you have, we test and weigh it at the counter in front of you, and you get paid in cash the same day. The F train to 2nd Avenue and the 6 to Astor Place are both a short walk.
Where can I sell gold near me for cash today?
If you are anywhere in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx, you can bring gold to our counter at 39 Avenue A and leave with cash the same visit. No appointment, no mailing anything away, and no waiting on a check to clear.
Where is the best place to sell gold jewelry in Manhattan?
Look for a licensed dealer who tests your gold in front of you and prices against the live spot price rather than a fixed in-house rate. We do both, and we are licensed under NYC DCA #2070477. You are welcome to get other offers first and come back.
How much is my gold worth right now?
It comes down to karat and weight, multiplied by today's spot price. Check the live price widget above for a general idea, then bring your piece in for an exact number.
What is 14K gold worth per gram?
14K is 58.3% pure gold, so it's worth about 58.3% of the day's spot price per gram. That percentage stays fixed, but the dollar number moves with the market every day.
Do you test my gold in front of me?
Every time, no exceptions. We run an acid test and an electronic reading right at the counter so you can watch the whole process before we talk numbers.
Do you buy broken gold jewelry?
Yes. A broken clasp, a bent ring, a single earring — none of that changes how much gold is actually in the piece, so it doesn't change what we pay.
Do you buy dental gold?
Yes. Crowns, bridges, and fillings are often high karat gold and test just like anything else. Bring them in.
Do I need a receipt to sell gold?
No receipt required. We only care what the piece is made of, not where it came from. You will need a valid government ID, which is standard for this kind of sale in New York.
Do you buy gold-plated jewelry?
Gold-plated pieces have very little actual gold in them, so we usually pass. If you're not sure whether something is plated, solid, or gold-filled, bring it in and we'll test it for free.
Is there a limit on how much gold you'll buy?
No. We've bought everything from one broken chain to a full estate collection. For a large amount, text photos to 917-608-8939 ahead of time so we can plan for it.
How fast do I get paid?
Same day. As soon as you accept our offer, you're paid before you leave the counter.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are always welcome. If you're bringing in a large or high-value collection, a heads-up text just helps us prepare, though it's not required.
Are you licensed?
Yes — NYC DCA license #2070477 (Vintage USA Inc, DBA East Village Buyers).
Can I text photos before I come in?
Yes, text clear photos to 917-608-8939 for a rough idea. We'll still need to weigh and test the piece in person for a final number.
Where are you and what are your hours?
39 Avenue A, East Village, Manhattan. Sun 12:30–6 PM · Mon–Thu 12:30–6:30 PM · Fri 12:30–4 PM · Sat closed.
