Where we buy gold

Where we buy gold — 14 city guides on local taxes, dealer rules and what to check before you sell gold.

Each guide below covers one city: how local and state rules treat a gold sale, what dealers, refiners or pawn shops operate there, and notes on the local market to check before you sell. Pick the city closest to you and read it before you accept an offer.

Whatever the city, the live spot price sets the ceiling on what any buyer can pay. What you are actually offered below spot depends on purity, refining costs and fees, so weigh your pieces, note the karat stamps, and compare more than one quote against the same spot price.
