It’s true, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But there may come a time when those diamonds are also a way to pay your rent. Or maybe they just lose their significance. No matter what the case is, diamonds are on everyone radar. This means you need to be wary about who you’re selling your old diamonds to.

Many places including jewelers, pawn shops, and even consignment shops proclaim to buy diamonds at the highest price value when what they’re really doing is scamming you into selling your diamonds for less than have of the face value. Don’t worry, preventing it is easy. All you need to do is a little bit of homework.

Before selling your diamonds (really any old jewelry), always make sure you get the piece appraised. Use more than one appraiser for the best possible outcome. Next, you’ll do some homework on a particular jeweler, read reviews, ask questions, and check with the better business bureau. Then lastly, once you’ve found a place you’ll put your best-negotiating skills on the table. Don’t just settle for the first price they offer, they’re always willing to bend even if it’s just a little bit.

Selling your old watches

It can be very easy for companies to scam sellers into selling their old watches for way less than the actual value of the watch. It’s important is that you know exactly what kind of watch you have on your hands, how much it’s of value, and how much you’re willing to let it go for. Always, always, always get your watch appraised before selling it. And never opt in for the TV commercial buying act. It’s almost always a scam.

Selling your old gold

Each year there are hundreds of complaints are filed each year with The Better Business Bureau against gold, silver and platinum dealers who essential scam customers for more money. This is because some companies send a check before you agree to their price when you go to sell your old jewelry. While others assume that you agree if you don’t respond quickly enough. And then there are those who don’t send the jewelry back or even pay you. 

One way to avoid this is to check for the jeweler your looking to sell to on The Better Business Bureau and see what their business practices are. Another way to avoid this is to read as many reviews of the company as possible, check out Yelp and google and see what other people are saying. You should also have your gold piece appraised (more than once) before selling it so you can get a ballpark idea of what it’s selling for.
