About Cash 4 Gold Trading Post
Family-owned. 6 locations across Central New Jersey. We buy gold, silver, jewelry, coins, electronics, and more for top dollar cash, paid on the spot.
Who We Are
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post was founded in 2012 by childhood friends Joe C. and Russ R., who opened their first store in Middlesex, NJ driven by a genuine passion for precious metals. What started as one location built on radical transparency and top-tier customer service has grown store by store into 6 locations across Central New Jersey: Brick, East Brunswick, Manalapan, Middlesex, Millstone, and New Brunswick.
Joe serves as Chief Precious Metals Officer, overseeing valuations, market pricing, and the buying standards across all locations. Russ manages operations and has been instrumental in building the team and culture that keeps customers coming back. Neither of them cut corners on a deal in 2012, and that hasn't changed.
We're fully licensed and insured in the State of New Jersey. Every item is evaluated on-site using professional XRF analyzers for purity testing and certified NTEP-approved scales for weight. Appraisals are always free with zero obligation, and sellers receive instant same-day cash.
We price all precious metals based on live London Bullion Market Association spot rates updated throughout the day, not flat-rate estimates or arbitrary percentages. Gold reached record highs in early 2026, meaning items sitting in drawers and safe deposit boxes across New Jersey are worth more right now than they've ever been.
Walk-ins are welcome at all 6 locations. No appointment required. We maintain 5-star Google ratings with over 1,000 combined reviews across our stores.
