Q: Do I need to set an appointment to have Texas Gold and Silver Buyers take a look at my items I want to sell?
A: We are open Tuesday-Friday 10 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 10 am to 5 pm. (Closed Sundays and Mondays). You are welcome to stop by any time during business hours. You are also more than welcome to call ahead for a private appointment! Whatever is more convenient for our customers is our top priority.
Q: How can I be assured I am dealing with a honest and reputable company?
A: At Texas Gold and Silver Buyers, we take our jobs and reputation very seriously! We have extensive knowledge and experience of all things Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium. We are licensed by the State of Texas Office of Consumer Credit (License #0104921), our scales for weighing precious metals are licensed legal for trade and periodically inspected and verified by the Texas Department of Agriculture as well. We have invested in State of the Art XRF Xray Technology to provide the gold standard of testing for our customers. Our testing abilities are much more accurate than the method of acid testing, which allow us to pay TOP DOLLAR ALWAYS. Our Xray testing is completely safe to the public, and our Xray equipment is licensed by the State of Texas Health Department. We are a family owned and operated LOCAL business, with morals and a devotion to honesty and customer service! Please take a moment to Google us as well and see our FIVE STAR RATING!
Q: What is the process of selling my Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium Jewelry?
A: At Texas Gold and Silver Buyers we strive to make your selling process fast, hassle free, and painless! With Jewelry, we will first do a quick rare earth magnet test, and eliminate any obvious non precious metal items. The next step will be sorting items by their visible hallmarks and/or stamps (1ok, 14k, 18k, etc.), and also sorting out any Name Brand or Designer Jewelry you may have. We will then Xray verify each piece (which is quick and highly accurate). Any items that had no markings will also be tested and sorted for purity. All of our processes are done right in front of you, nothing is taken to a back room, or out of your sight! The next step will be to weigh your items on our licensed for trade scales and get a total weight of each karated lot (weight on 10k, weight on 14k, etc.). We will figure your payout based on the up to the minute Market Price of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium Spot Prices and present you with a detailed summary of what we are paying for your different items. Name Brand and Designer Jewelry (James Avery, David Yurman, Tiffany & Co. etc.) will be assessed by our in house jewelry expert, and extremely fair prices will be paid on what the current market is bearing on these items. Our process is very quick, efficient and precise. We will go above and beyond with our Customer Service to make you feel comfortable, and informed on the items you are looking to sell. That is the Texas Gold and Silver Buyers Difference and Promise!
Q: Does Texas Gold and Silver Buyers offer Insurance Value Appraisal Services?
A: We are certainly very knowledgeable in the values of all Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium Items. We are more than happy to give you an idea of the overall current market value and make a Top Dollar, No Pressure Offer on your Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium items. We are Licensed Precious Metal Dealers in the State of Texas. Appraisals are for Retail Value/Insurance Replacement Values and you will need to contact a licensed appraiser for these services, as we are not Licensed Appraisers. Appraisal Fees are generally very expensive and normally based on a fee for each individual item being appraised. Most times if you ask an appraiser to actually buy your item for anywhere close to the appraised value they attached, they will decline in most instances.
Q: Does Texas Gold and Silver Buyers deal with Estates?
A: Yes we certainly do, involving Estates with Precious Metal Items. We highly recommend having a Precious Metal Expert from Texas Gold and Silver Buyers of San Antonio evaluate any Estate items that you feel may be Gold, Silver, Platinum or Palladium. These items can range from Coins, Jewelry, Bullion, Flatware and Tableware, as well as Dental Gold, etc. An appointment can be set for us to come by a residence and advise you on any Precious Metal Items that may be in the estate. You are also welcome to visit our store Tuesday-Friday 10am to 6pm, and Saturdays 10am to 5pm. We suggest to not hire an Estate Liquidation Company or have an Estate Sale, before first finding out if you have Precious Metal Items. Many times these items are not pointed out to folks who are already having a tough time with a death in the family, and/or the large responsibility of liquidating an estate. Other times these items are sold for pennies on the dollar as Estate or Garage Sale items by mistake. At Texas Gold and Silver Buyers we will point out all Precious Metal Items and give you an idea of their full worth, and what our Cash Offer would be. We offer no pressure, hassle free quotes on this service, when customers are actively looking to sell their items. Travel fees may apply to longer distances traveled, outside of the metro San Antonio area. We are able to purchase Gold and Silver Coins/Bullion on the spot if you so wish, and any Jewelry items or Crafted Precious Metal items outside of Coins and Bullion would have to be purchased in store at our licensed and registered location per Texas Law. If you are looking for just appraisal services and not looking to sell, please note we are Licensed Precious Metal Dealers, not Licensed Appraisers. Appraisals are for Retail Value/Insurance Replacement Values and you will need to contact a licensed appraiser for these services. Appraisal Fees are generally very expensive and normally based on a fee for each individual item being appraised. Most times if you ask an appraiser to actually buy your item for anywhere close to the appraised value they attached, they will decline in most instances.

The big exception to this is when there are small pictographs otherwise known as "English Hallmarks" Once again we would love to go through anything you are unsure about and make you a TOP DOLLAR HASSLE FREE QUOTE on any Precious Metal Items!
