The most important aspect of selling gold is obviously finding a buyer. Before finding a buyer, you'll want to appraise the value of your gold pieces. You'll also want to photograph anything you plan on selling and you may even consider insuring your gold pieces.
When you're ready, use the Internet and find jewelers to begin finding prospective buyers for your gold. Use the information gained from your appraisal as you begin negotiating prices for your goods. If you did not get an official appraisal, go to a jeweler and get a price estimate from a qualified professional. It's critical to have a starting point when negotiating prices.
Also when selling gold, be sure to keep an eye on the value of gold. The prices fluctuate daily, and gold isn't immune to occasionally drastic changes. Buyers may be aware of sudden changes, and they may use that knowledge to gauge a quick profit from you. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of.
Photographing your gold is essential because many gold buyers want to see your items in person -- that means you must mail it to them. Photograph your pieces and photocopy any certificates and paperwork that can be used to authenticate or mark your possessions. Be sure to insure your package when you mail it from the post office. Monitor the progress as the post office transfers your gold to its destination, and call the post office right away if anything unexpected happens.
