Visit Hilltop Pawn and Jewelry
Once you've gathered your unwanted gold and precious metals, it's time to take the next step toward getting your extra cash! Take your items and ID to one of the best places to sell precious metals: Hilltop Pawn.
When you get here, we think you'll be impressed by just how fast the process really is. Generally, it only takes about 15 minutes between you walking in the door with your gold and you walking out the door with your money. Of course, if you bring in a large collection of gold (which isn't a problem at all!), it might take a few more minutes. Regardless, though, we understand that your time is valuable, and we'll do what we can to get you in and out fast. Although, once you see our wide inventory of high-quality items at the lowest prices, you just might want to hang around for a long time to check out everything that we have in stock!
Get Paid in Cash!
Once your gold has been valued and you've accepted our offer, there's nothing else for you to do! You'll get the cash right away, all based on our assessment and the current market price of gold.
How Much Can I Get for My Gold?
Getting a higher price for gold is a top priority for most of our customers, which is something we can definitely understand. Everyone wants to get the best deal when they're selling something valuable. We understand this and want to make you happy. The value of your gold is something we'll have to determine when you come in, but paying the best gold price is something we're known for.
What Kind of Gold Items Do You Have?
People bring us all types of valuable items made from gold. The first, and perhaps most obvious, choice is gold jewelry. However, gold coins and gold bullion are just a couple of additional examples of gold items we buy.
Some people bring us what are commonly known as "melt items." These are items made from gold (or other precious metals) that aren't particularly useful in their current form. As you can probably imagine, the average person won't have much use for your old dental scrap! Broken jewelry, gold bars, and more are often considered for their melt value, too. We do offer great prices for meltable gold items, although they're often not as valuable as good-quality jewelry or rare gold coins, at least when you compare these items by weight.
How Much Gold Are You Looking to Sell?
There is no minimum limit as to the amount of gold that you can sell at Hilltop Pawn. If you have just one or two rings, we'll buy them! If you have multiple gold items, including gold bullion, we'll buy it all. In fact, we'll buy as much pure gold as you're interested in selling. Naturally, taking the time to search through your jewelry box for all of your unwanted gold makes sense before you come in. Then, you can sell it all in one trip, and you'll walk out with even more money.
What is the Purity of Your Gold?
Purity of gold is definitely a big factor in the overall value of your gold. We pay competitive prices for gold of all gold contents, but naturally, the more pure your gold is, the more it's worth.
Pure gold is also known as 24K gold. You might have heard of 24K gold, but most jewelry -- especially daily wear jewelry, like a wedding band -- isn't made from pure gold. 18 karat gold is considered very high-quality gold for jewelry; it's not as soft as pure gold, so it's more durable, but it's still very shiny. Behind pure gold, it's one of the most valuable. Gold with another karat number, such as 10K or 14K gold, is also valuable here.
Many customers don't know the gold content of their items when they come in, but that's not a problem at all. As a reputable dealer of gold and precious metals, we have a way of testing gold for its gold content, so we'll figure it out for you. Professional gold buyers like us use various methods, such as an acid test, to determine gold purity on the spot.
How Much Does Your Gold Weigh?
Particularly when you're selling your gold for its melt value, the value of your item depends on its weight. If you bring in multiple heavy gold bars, you'll get higher prices than if you were just selling a couple of pieces of scrap dental gold. No matter how little or how much your gold item weighs, we'll pay you fairly based on current prices.
We have very precise digital scales that we keep perfectly calibrated. We'll weigh gold items with a different purity level separately to make sure you're getting paid what you deserve. Once we carefully determine the weight of your item (or items!), we'll be able to make you an offer for its melt value, based on the latest gold price information.
What is the Current Value of Your Precious Metals?
The price of gold -- as well as the price of platinum and silver items -- varies based on the market at the time that you sell. If you sell gold when the gold market is doing good, and when gold prices are at a high value, you'll get paid more. The going rate for gold is known as the "spot" price, and it's based on the troy measurement system (such as the troy ounce). You can check the current market prices for gold before you sell to us; we're happy to give you any and all information to help you make an informed sale. You can also find information about current gold prices online. Luckily for you (and us), gold has been quite valuable lately, without significant dips in value. Selling now is smart if you want to get a great price for your gold.

You're already sold on your piece of gold unwanted jewelry, or perhaps a gold bar or bullion. The question isn't whether you should sell your valuable metal, it's who you should sell it to.

Helpful Tips and Tricks for Selling Your Gold
If you’ve decided that you are interested in selling your gold, you could be looking for advice.
-
Avoid selling valuable gold jewelry by weight. Fine jewelry that is still in good condition can generally be sold for a higher price. If you have gold jewelry, diamond jewelry, engagement rings, wedding rings, gold bracelets, or other nice jewelry, bring them in to Hilltop Pawn Shop. Unlike an online gold buyer or coin dealer, we will pay you what your nice jewelry is worth, since we’re your local jeweler.
-
Check gold prices before you sell. The value of gold has been at historic highs recently, so this could be the best time for you to sell.
-
Bring along all of your unwanted gold. Remember, your gold doesn’t have to look good or be in good condition for you to sell it. Your local pawn shop will generally purchase different types of gold regardless of its condition.
-
Don’t be afraid to do your research. Compare offers from different gold buyers to make sure you get as much for your unwanted gold as possible.
-
Consider selling to a local store instead of working with online buyers. Although it might seem convenient to use an online gold buyer, you have to watch out for scams. You will also get paid more quickly if you use a local professional gold buyer, which is a good thing if you’re selling your gold because you’re short on cash.
-
Bring along other items of value. Many gold buyers will also purchase other types of precious metals, such as silver bullion, silver coins, or titanium. Plus, at our pawn shop, we will also purchase Rolex watches, jewelry, and various other items of value.
-
If you don’t want to sell your gold jewelry but would still like to put some cash in your pocket, you can visit a pawn shop like Hilltop Pawn Shop for a pawn loan. You can use your gold as collateral for one of our loans, and you’ll get your gold back when you repay the loan in full.
How Can You Avoid Getting Scammed When Selling Gold?
In any financial transaction, it’s important to avoid getting scammed or taken advantage of. This is true when you’re selling gold, too. One of the best ways to avoid getting scammed when selling gold is to work with a local gold buyer instead of one that operates online. If you visit a local shop that has a good reputation, you can help increase your chances of a smooth and trouble-free transaction. At Hilltop Pawn Shop, we have decades of experience and a solid reputation in the Virginia Beach area, so you can always count on us when selling gold, buying jewelry, taking out a pawn loan, and more.
