Frequently Asked Questions
What types of gold and silver items do you buy?
We buy scrap gold and silver, offering 76% of the current spot price, the highest payout in Northeast Wisconsin. This includes 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, and 24k gold, dental gold, gold-filled items, sterling flatware, hollowware, jewelry and costume jewelry with collectable value. We also purchase gold and silver coins, bars, and rounds at market price.
How is the value of my gold or silver determined?
We use the current spot price to determine value. Items are weighed in front of you, and payment is based on either grams or pennyweight. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of how the value is calculated.
What is included in your estate sale service?
Our goal is to support a smooth transition during downsizing or the settlement of an estate. We handle the organizing, expert pricing, and marketing of items offered for sale. During the sale, we staff cashiers, movers, and team members to assist buyers as needed. After the sale, we provide prompt and accurate accounting, along with final payment.
Do you handle clean-out services after the sale?
Yes. We’re happy to help with post-sale clean-outs. Because each estate is different, this service is usually arranged after the on-site sale concludes. We offer efficient solutions to help get your property cleared and market-ready.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Appleton and the greater Fox Valley region, including Green Bay, Neenah-Menasha, Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac — typically within a 50-mile radius of Appleton. For locations beyond that, we’re happy to consider special arrangements.
Why should I choose your services over a jewelry store or pawn shop?
The main difference is in the price you receive. We offer some of the most competitive payouts in the area without the overhead of flashy advertising or retail storefronts — meaning more value stays in your pocket.
