Weigh it before you go. Payouts run 40-70% of the day's melt value depending on karat and local competition, so check the spot price that morning and bring a rough weight in grams if you have a scale at home. Every seller needs a valid government-issued photo ID — it's state law, not shop policy, and the transaction gets logged with local police either way.

Good to know

How much will a pawn shop pay for gold?

Most offer 40-70% of the day's melt (spot) value based on purity. At roughly $2,400/oz for gold, a 5-gram 14k ring typically nets $80-140 before any haggling.

Do I need ID to sell gold at a pawn shop?

Yes. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for every buy or pawn transaction under state pawn-shop law, and the sale is reported to local police as a routine anti-theft measure.
