Thinking about selling your gold? Whether you’re decluttering, downsizing, or just need a little extra cash, Capital Pawn makes the process simple, honest, and rewarding. With five convenient locations throughout the Willamette Valley — in Salem, Portland, Albany, Beaverton, and McMinnville — we’re your go-to gold buyer in Oregon.
Before you stop by, here are a few essential tips to help you get the best deal when selling your gold.
1. Know What You Have
Not all gold is created equal. Before visiting, take stock of the gold you plan to sell. That includes:
-
Broken or unwanted jewelry (even single earrings or tangled chains!)
-
Gold coins and bullion
-
Dental gold
-
Scrap gold
-
Gold watches and vintage accessories
-
Gold flatware or other household items
Even if you’re unsure of what you have, bring it in! We offer free appraisals with no obligation at every location.
2. Understand How Gold Is Valued
Gold’s value is based on its purity (karat), weight, and current market price. At Capital Pawn, we use state-of-the-art testing equipment and a transparent evaluation process so you always understand what your items are worth and why.
We’ll walk you through every step of the process — no gimmicks, no pressure.
3. Bring All of Your Gold — Even the Odd Pieces
It’s not just flashy jewelry that holds value. That random gold tooth cap? Grandma’s old broken bracelet? A gold-plated pin? Bring it all in. Every piece could contribute to your final payout.
4. Check the Gold Price First (We Do, Too!)
It’s always smart to check the current spot price of gold before you sell. We stay updated in real time so we can give you top-dollar offers based on that day’s rate.
5. Bring a Valid ID
This is required by law in Oregon for all gold transactions. A valid driver’s license or government-issued photo ID is all you’ll need.
Don’t Want to Part Ways Just Yet?
If you’re not quite ready to let go of your gold but still need cash, we also offer pawn loans on your gold. It’s a great way to borrow cash now while keeping your item safe until you’re ready to retrieve it.
