Sell your gold for instant cash. We buy gold jewelry, coins, bullion, and scrap at up to 80% of the live spot price. Same-day payment, walk-ins welcome.
Looking for a trusted place to sell your gold for cash? GetGoldValue is one of the highest-paying gold buyers in Los Angeles. We buy gold in every form — from fine jewelry to scrap pieces — and pay based on the live gold spot price, not a lowball fixed rate.
Whether you want to sell my gold ring, a collection of coins, inherited jewelry, or a bag of scrap pieces, we make it simple. Walk in, get tested, get paid — all in the same visit.
Our process is simple, transparent, and takes about 15 minutes:
Most cash-for-gold shops, pawnshops, and mall kiosks pay 50–60% of the gold spot price. GetGoldValue pays up to 80% for jewelry and scrap and up to 90% for bullion and coins. The difference? We sell directly to refiners, cutting out middlemen. We use XRF testing instead of destructive acid tests, giving us more confidence in purity readings and allowing us to pay higher rates.
Not in Los Angeles? You can still sell your gold to us from anywhere in the United States. Request a free insured shipping kit, send your items via FedEx with full tracking, and receive an itemized offer within one business day. If you decline, we ship everything back at our expense. There's zero risk and zero cost.

The cash for gold process moves fastest when you arrive prepared. Bring the items you want to sell and a valid government-issued photo ID. State law requires us to record ID details for any precious-metal transaction, so nobody gets paid without it. If you have original receipts, appraisal documents, or certificates, bring those too. They are not required, but they help confirm what you own and can speed the conversation.
Sort your items before you come in. Separate gold from silver and platinum, and keep karat groups together if you already know them: 10K, 14K, 18K, and so on. You do not need to clean anything or remove stones. We handle that. Broken chains, single earrings, dental gold, bent rings, and worn pieces all have value based on metal content, so bring them even if they look like scrap.
Here is what to expect at the counter. We test each piece in front of you. Testing usually means an acid test or an XRF analyzer that reads metal purity without damaging the item. We weigh everything on a scale that is calibrated and certified for trade use, and you watch the weight register. Then we separate pieces by purity, because a mixed lot is paid at mixed rates, not a single blended guess.
The in-person gold payout is calculated from three things: the weight of each item, its confirmed purity, and the current spot price of gold that day. We show you the math. You see the price per gram we are working from, the purity we measured, and the total offer before you decide anything. There is no obligation to sell. If the number does not work for you, you keep your gold and walk out. That part matters to us, and it should matter to you.
A few practical notes that save time:
Most in-person evaluations take fifteen to thirty minutes, depending on how many pieces you bring. The more organized your items are when you arrive, the quicker you get to a firm number. Come in with clear expectations, watch the testing and weighing, and leave with a payout you understood every step of.
