The gold sitting in your jewellery box or tucked away in a drawer may be worth considerably more than you realise.
At Airlie Beach Gold Buyers, the team regularly sees customers bring in old jewellery, coins and unwanted gold without knowing its current value. Some pieces might appear to be little more than sentimental keepsakes or forgotten odds and ends can have significant value based on their gold content.
Owner Jesse Robinson said that this is the beauty of the business.
“It's the feeling. When you see an old lady come in and expect $200 for a gold and you say ‘Oh, its really worth $10,000 plus!’
“Because we go off live prices, there's no ripping anyone off. They can do their maths before they come.
“I've had ladies go to throw out coins, and it turns out, that coin there's worth $1,500. They’re like: ‘Oh, we thought it was junk. We didn't know what gold's worth these days.'”
Others come in knowing exactly what the market is doing- but everyone gets a fair and
honest price.
Airlie Beach Gold Buyers uses live market pricing, with gold and silver weighed and tested in front of customers before a valuation is provided.
Customers can check the price, ask questions and decide for themselves whether they want to sell, with no obligation.
Jesse suggested that now’s the time to get your valuation, with the price of gold having
almost tripled in the last five years. And the next big thing? Silver.
As an investment, Airlie Beach Gold Buyers say that gold and silver is just as good as buying a house, if not better.
“You can't fake gold,” Jesse said.
“You can't print gold.”
