How selling your gold works

Everything you need to know before you post your item.

How does the process work?

Post your item with photos, your location, your asking price and your phone number. Our team reviews it and calls you back — usually the same day. If we agree on a price, we arrange to meet, test the gold in front of you, and pay you on the spot.

How do you decide the price?

Gold is valued by weight and purity (karat). We weigh your item and test its karat (9k, 14k, 18k, 21k or 24k), then price it against the day's market rate. Stones, brand or workmanship can add value for jewellery in good condition.

Does a quote cost anything? Am I obliged to sell?

No and no. Testing and quoting are completely free, and you can walk away at any point — no pressure, no charges.

Is it safe to meet?

Yes. We meet in public, busy places during the day — a bank hall, a mall, or an office you choose. Bring a friend if you like. Never hand over your item until you have been paid.

What kind of gold do you buy?

Jewellery (even broken), rings, coins, bars, nuggets, dust, dental gold and gold watches — any karat, any condition. If you are not sure it's gold, post it anyway and we will advise when we call.

How do you pay?

Your choice: M-Pesa, bank transfer or cash — always in full, at the moment we take the item.

Do I need an account to sell?

No — you can post as a guest. An account just pre-fills your details and lets you track the status of your items.

Is it legal to sell my gold?

Yes, selling your own personal gold items is legal. We may ask simple questions about the item's origin when we meet — reputable buyers always do.
