The Central Valley's number one gold buyer for over thirty years. Weighed and tested in front of you, priced off a board you can read on this page, and paid in cash on the spot.
The scale faces you. The acid test and the electronic tester happen on the counter, not in a back room. You see the weight, you see the karat, and you see the arithmetic. If a shop takes your gold out of sight to "check it," leave.
Benita Molina put it plainly: "The shop is nice, the staff is professional and I felt safe doing business there." That's the entire product in this category — safety and a straight number.
A wearable, well-made or signed piece is usually worth more intact than melted. A designer mark, good stones, or a period setting can move the number a long way. We check before we quote scrap — because once it's melted, nobody can put it back.
Esther Molina asked her daughter to take in "some damaged gold jewelry I had laying around" and was pleasantly surprised by the amount. Then we repaired two bracelets and cleaned two rings while we were at it. Broken gold weighs exactly the same as unbroken gold.
The pop-up buyer in a conference room leaves town on Sunday. We've been on Blackstone since 1982, we're a licensed California pawnbroker with the numbers on the door, and we've held a BBB A+ rating since 1984. If you're unhappy on Monday, there's a Monday to come back to.
We added pawn loans in 1996 precisely because people needed money but didn't want to lose the ring. Borrow against it instead — no credit check, nothing on your report, and it's back on your hand when you pay it off.
Any of our three counters. No appointment, no pre-sorting, no minimum.
On the counter, facing you. Karat checked, weight shown, nothing out of sight.
Off the Kitco board, with the arithmetic explained — plus anything worth more intact.
Take cash on the spot, borrow against it, or take it home. No pressure.
Kitco New York spot — bid, ask, and where the price sits inside today's own range. Read it before you walk in. You should always know the number before someone quotes you one.
Thirty years as the Valley's number one gold buyer, and we'll still be on Blackstone next Monday if you have questions.
