Where do Mount Arlington residents sell gold for cash?
Most Mount Arlington sellers make a single trip down to Cash 4 Gold Trading Post at 748 Bound Brook Rd in Middlesex. Howard Boulevard, County Route 615, carries you from the lake down to I-80. Head west to the US-206 exit near Netcong and Stanhope, then follow US-206 south past Flanders and through Chester and Bedminster. At the southern end, I-287 South and US-22 East bring you toward Green Brook, and Greenbrook Road drops you onto Bound Brook Road, which is Route 28, a short way from our door.
Mount Arlington became its own borough on November 3, 1890, taken from Roxbury Township, with more Roxbury land added over the next few years. It sits on the southeast shore of Lake Hopatcong, the largest lake in New Jersey, and for decades it lived as a summer resort: visitors rode the railroad out to Landing and crossed the water to hotels along the shore. Bertrand Island held an amusement park with a carousel and a roller coaster until 1983, and the Lake Hopatcong Yacht Club, founded in 1905, still uses the clubhouse it finished in 1910. The 2020 census counted 5,909 residents on a little over two square miles of land.
A lake town tends to keep two drawers of jewelry. The year-round drawer holds what every household has: wedding sets, class rings, chains, a watch that stopped. The summer drawer is older: pieces bought on vacation, silver that set the table at the lake house every July, a charm bracelet from a season on the water. When a cottage on the shore is sold, both drawers usually come in together, and neither needs sorting before you arrive.
Which parts of Mount Arlington and the lake do we serve?
Sellers come from the Howard Boulevard business strip by I-80 Exit 30, from the lakefront streets and Bertrand Island, and from the rest of the borough up the hill from the shore. Past the borough line, Landing and Succasunna in Roxbury Township, the borough of Hopatcong across the lake in Sussex County, and Jefferson Township to the north all share the same first leg out to I-80 before turning south on US-206.
What do we buy from Mount Arlington sellers?
Metal is paid on weight and purity, so a bent ring or a chain that snapped counts gram for gram with a perfect one. 10K is 41.7 percent gold, 14K is 58.5, 18K is 75 and 22K is 91.7, and sterling silver is 92.5 percent silver. Pick a category below for how each one is tested, or bring the whole box to Middlesex and let the analyzer sort it.
Selling at our counter, or borrowing against the piece?
Some people who drive down from the lake want the cash and are finished with the piece. Others want it back later. Those are two different transactions. A pawn loan holds your item as collateral until you repay the loan and its interest. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post does not lend at all. We buy, and once you take the offer the money is yours. If a loan is what you need, a licensed pawnbroker is the place for it. If you are selling, this is what the Middlesex counter does.
Your Own Eyes on the Reading
The XRF analyzer reads each piece, backed by an acid test, and the screen faces you, so a clasp stamped 14K that reads lower is something you see, not something you are told.
Priced the Day You Come In
Offers are worked from the current spot price for gold, silver or platinum on the day you walk in, never from a sheet printed weeks ago.
Paid Before the Drive Home
Say yes and the cash is in your hand at the counter. No ticket, no due date, and nothing to come back for.

What a Mount Arlington seller meets at the Middlesex counter
Walked into the Middlesex, NJ location to sell various gold & silver jewelry. Ed was very helpful and explained everything as he tested my jewelry to check if it was 10k or 14k or just costume jewelry.
Google review, Middlesex store
Telling 10K from 14K from costume is most of the work with a mixed box from a lake house, and it all happens where you can watch it.
Estate jewelry buyers near Mount Arlington, NJ
Clearing a place on Lake Hopatcong usually turns up jewelry in more than one spot: a dresser upstairs, a box in the winter house, a tin of coins in the kitchen drawer. We take it as it comes and sort it at the counter while you watch. Gold is split by karat so 18K is never paid as 14K. Sterling flatware is weighed apart from silverplate. Signed pieces and wristwatches are checked for value above their metal, and coins are looked up for collector premium before anything is treated as melt.
If the collection is too much to load into the car for the ride down US-206, our estate buyers service can arrange a house call, and the guide to selling estate jewelry in New Jersey covers executors, probate paperwork, and what to set aside first.
Diamond buyers near Mount Arlington, NJ
An engagement ring from Mount Arlington gets two numbers, not one. The band is read and weighed like any other gold or platinum, and the diamond is looked at loose or in its setting under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity. A GIA or AGS report helps when you have one and is never required. Pricing them separately keeps a good stone from being paid as scrap. There is more on the diamond buyers page and in where to sell an engagement ring.

How much does Cash 4 Gold Trading Post pay for gold from Mount Arlington sellers?
