Gold has value.Accountability does too.
Most “we buy gold” pages tell you they pay top dollar. We think San Diego gold sellers deserve better information: who is buying, how gold is evaluated, what California expects from covered secondhand transactions, and what questions to ask before handing over valuable jewelry.
The gold seller checklist
Check the buyer.
Don't compare offers in a vacuum. Before you sell gold in San Diego, compare the business making the offer.
02
Properly licensed ✓
California maintains a statewide secondhand-dealer and pawnbroker licensing framework administered with local police and sheriff licensing authorities.
03
Documented transaction ✓
Covered transactions exist within a regulated reporting system rather than an anonymous handoff of valuables for cash.
04
Transparent evaluation ✓
Ask how the buyer determines purity, weight and value. You should understand what you are selling before you decide.
05
Here tomorrow ✓
Accountability is easier when the buyer has a permanent San Diego storefront and a local reputation to protect.
GOLD
Know what you're selling
Jewelry ≠ bullion.
California's treatment of qualifying coins, monetized bullion and commercial-grade ingots is narrow. A used gold ring does not become bullion simply because its value ultimately comes from precious metal.
14K jewelry is approximately 58.5% gold.

Why licensing matters
Licensed. Local. Traceable. Accountable.
California built a system.
The California Department of Justice describes a statewide licensing and reporting program for secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers, administered together with local licensing agencies. Covered property transactions are reported through the California Pawn and Secondhand Dealer System (CAPSS).
Your valuables deserve more than “trust us.” Ask what system the buyer operates inside.
Know the difference.
The statutory carveouts involving coin dealers, monetized bullion and qualifying commercial-grade ingots are specific. They are not a blanket exemption for ordinary used gold jewelry.
For San Diego sellers, the practical question is simple: who are you handing your jewelry to?
Transparency builds trust
Know the numbers.
Gold value begins with measurable facts: weight, purity and the market price of gold. An actual purchase offer may reflect additional factors, but you should understand the inputs.
