Gold has been a valuable commodity throughout human history, as it looks beautiful and continues to hold its value over time. Evidence of this is how the price of gold has steadily climbed over the past five years. From a price of around NZ$2,500 per ounce in 2020, it reached a peak of around NZ$4,000 in early 2024 – a more than 80% increase.

You might have invested in gold a while ago, or inherited some gold jewellery, and may be wondering: ‘How do I sell my gold?’ There are sadly some unscrupulous people who would take any opportunity to get their hands on your gold assets, so it’s important to take steps when selling gold without getting scammed.

Tips for selling gold securely for the best gold price

Here are some tips on how to sell gold online and successfully convert your gold to cash:

Do your research: Take time to research the price of gold when you’re thinking of selling gold jewellery. This will help you understand the best price to sell gold, so you don’t get lowballed.

Research potential buyers: Look for reputable businesses that have a successful track record. DollarDealers, for example, have been helping hard-working Kiwis exchange gold for cash for over 25 years and we have a Google rating of 4.9 out of 5. If you want to sell unwanted gold, be cautious of companies or people who offer you a price to sell gold that seems too good to be true.

Check their credentials: If you’re looking for a reputable dealer to sell gold for cash to, check if they have industry accreditations. DollarDealers, for example, is registered with the National Pawnbrokers Association of New Zealand (NPANZ), the Gemological Association of Australia (GAA), and the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This legitimacy will give you confidence when you want to sell unwanted gold.
