FAQ | Cash 4 Gold Trading Post NJ

We calculate your offer using three factors: the current live gold spot price, the karat purity of your gold, and the exact weight in grams. We show you every step on the scale right in front of you.

No hidden math, no surprises. Higher karat gold like 18K or 24K pays more per gram than 10K or 14K.

We test every piece using professional XRF analyzers and acid testing on-site. You watch the entire process.

We tell you the exact karat and purity before we ever quote a price. No surprises, no assumptions.

We show you the live spot price and every calculation before you decide. We are fully licensed precious metals dealers in New Jersey and have served Central NJ since 2012. If you have a written quote from a competitor, bring it in and we will do our best to beat it.

We update prices continuously based on the live precious metals spot market, which moves throughout each trading day. The price we offer you reflects the live market at the moment you walk in. You can check current gold prices online before your visit.

Gold prices fluctuate daily based on global commodity markets. We base our offers on the current live spot price, which means when gold prices are high, you receive more for your items. You can check the live gold price online before you visit, or call us for a rough estimate.

We buy all karats of gold: 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K in yellow, white, and rose gold. 14K is the most common karat in American jewelry and contains 58.5% pure gold. 18K contains 75% and is common in Italian and European jewelry.

22K-24K gold is typical in Indian and Middle Eastern jewelry and commands the highest per-gram rates. Specific items include:

• Gold jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants)
