Here are some opinions from our community:

  • I would caution you against using eBay. I stopped selling silver there because you will by FAR get you the worst price. Between the eBay fees and PayPal fees, you will lose 11% right off the bat. Not to mention deadbeat bidders, scam artists, etc.
  • Most coin dealers will buy bullion silver. Any pawn shop will give you something for it. Some jewelers will, too.
  • Take your pieces to a local jewelry store, one that specializes in estate jewelry would be best. This is where you will get the best return on selling your items.

Special Note:

Make sure your silver is actually sterling which usually means it will have the word "Sterling" or ".925" marked on it. If not, it could be silver plated, which would have no melt value at all.

Does gold plated silverware scratch easily?

Gold-plated silverware can scratch, but it is generally more resistant to scratches than uncoated silverware due to the protective layer of gold. However, the durability depends on the thickness of the gold plating and the care taken during use and cleaning. To minimize scratching, it's best to use gentle cleaning methods and avoid abrasive materials. Regular maintenance can also help preserve the appearance of gold-plated silverware.

Can you sell gold plated things at a pawn shop and get much for it?

Yes, you can sell gold-plated items at a pawn shop, but you may not receive much for them since the value is primarily in the base metal rather than the gold plating itself. Pawn shops typically pay more for solid gold items, as the gold content in plated items is minimal. It's advisable to check with multiple shops to gauge offers, but expect lower payout offers for gold-plated goods.
