During your consultation we’ll assess and weigh your jewellery, take images of your goods and perform electrical conductivity and other testing to determine the gold’s purity. Next, we’ll provide you with a valuation and payout quote. Please note that the minimum quantity of gold we buy is 5 grams (a typical, simple gold band weighs ~3 grams) and there is a $50 examination fee for more than five pieces of jewellery or gold to offset the cost of our jeweller’s time. This fee will be refunded should you accept the quote and go forward with the sale of your gold.
Once you’ve approved your final quote, the Gold Trade payment will be made by Village Goldsmith by 5pm the following business day (unless it's a Public Holiday). Eg: Confirmed Friday Gold Trades will be paid out on the following Monday.
For large payments there will be a test payment of $50 to confirm the bank account details. Once the $50 payment is confirmed received the net amount will be authorised and paid on the next working day within 24 hours of confirmation. For same day payments there is a $65 additional manual processing fee.
