He therefore advises having the gold appraised by a sworn expert, especially in the case of larger estates. This way you can be really sure how much the jewelry is worth. The disadvantage here is that there are costs for the appraisal service. An example: For our test jewelry, worth around €10,000, the appraisal would have cost around €400. ONLY SELL GOLD WITH PROOF Reputable gold buyers usually ask for the seller's ID card to verify their identity and to record the sales data. If no data is recorded, this can be an indication that the deal is not being handled in a reputable manner. Unscrupulous dealers often try to close the deal quickly and discreetly so that the seller cannot reverse or review the deal later. It is advisable to obtain several offers. It is also always advisable to sign a contract with the gold dealer and ask for a receipt. BE CAREFUL WITH HOME VISITS A trustworthy dealer will usually not appraise the jewelry at the seller's home, but will instead advise the customer in a shop or other public place. If you absolutely want to sell during a home visit, you should ask to see the buyer's ID card and write down the data.
