A lot of people are probably tired of hearing Corona Virus. This global pandemic has ravaged lives, destroyed people’s businesses and robbed people of their livelihoods. It has a left a lot of people in dire straits and financially crippled. Some people have found themselves having to do things they never thought they would ever have to do like, odd jobs or throwing garage sales. One way that has been popular with most people is taking valuable items to pawnshops for loans or just to sell the things that they no longer need. If you are one of these people contemplating a visit to a pawnshop to sell some old jewellery you no longer wear or need but you’ve never seen the inside of a pawnshop, there are a few key steps you need to follow to ensure that you get more than just a reasonable amount for your jewellery.
Find out what your jewellery is worth
Before you accept any amount that is being offered by pawnbrokers Brisbane, you should find out what the real value of your jewellery is – not the amount you spent buying it but it’s used resale value. With gold jewellery, it’s quite easy to do this o your own. Check the karats on your jewellery pieces, weigh the jewellery and find out what the current spot price of gold is. This might take some bit of research and if you aren’t very good at mathematics, you might want to get a professional like a local dealer to evaluate your gold jewellery for you. You might find some choice pieces in your gold jewellery collection that you could have accidentally lumped with the generic gold pieces, like a limited edition designer piece you didn’t know you had.
When you do this you know the price range you should be aiming at, so you won’t be surprised by the amounts that are being offered to you by pawnbrokers.
Be sure you are ready to part with your jewellery
If you are going to sell your jewellery to a pawnbroker you need to be sure that you won’t be needing it, anymore. For instance, your wedding ring is one of those pieces of jewellery you have to think carefully about. It has a lot of sentimental value -until it doesn’t. However keep in mind that even though, your grandmother’s ring was passed down through generations, it will not have the same value to a pawnbroker that it does to you or your family. What you thought was a diamond could turn out to be Cubic Zirconia.
Prepare your items
Before you sell your jewellery, it’s only proper that you clean your jewellery a bit. You don’t really have them repaired but even if you are disposing of them, they should at least look presentable not caked up with dirt and rust.
Visit a number of pawnshops before settling on one
You should take your jewellery to more than one pawnbroker Brisbane. You can try selling your jewellery online or to friends by ultimately, a pawnbroker is your best bet is straightforward enough for you.
