Who will buy my old gold in Noida Extension?

Around Gaur City, Gaur Chowk (Char Murti), Ek Murti Chowk and the sectors nearby, a seller meets four kinds of buyer. Each works differently.

• Jeweller showrooms that exchange. They take your purana sona against new jewellery. Some will also pay cash, but their focus is the next sale. The full comparison is in cash for gold, or exchange it at a jeweller.
• Chain branches. Most nearby competitors are branches of Delhi chains along the Gaur City road. They have a brand, a fixed process and a counter. The process is the same for every customer, so ask to see each step.
• Resellers. These are small buyers who often pass the gold on to someone else. Some are fine. With others you cannot see how the number was reached.
• Home-pickup buyers. Someone comes to you. That helps when carrying gold on the road worries you. It is the same sale, so the same checks apply.

None of these is wrong in itself. What matters is whether the buyer shows you the weight, the purity and the rate before any rupee figure is spoken.

What are the five checks before I sell gold for cash?

Do these at any buyer, including us. Each one takes about two minutes.

1. Watch the scale. The screen should face you, not the buyer. Read the grams yourself. If the weight reads lower than you expected, see why the weight on the buyer's scale is less than you expected.
2. Watch the purity test. Ask for a karatmeter or an acid test done in front of you, with the reading shown. A stamp is a claim. A test is a measurement. If your gold is 22 karat or 916, the reading should say so.
3. Ask for the rate used, in writing or on screen. The published rate in the news is not your payout. The buyer should say which rate they are applying and why. Read why the published rate is not your payout.
4. Ask what is deducted. Stones, meena and clasps are not gold, so they change the weight that counts. Ask for each deduction by name. We buy gold only, so we do not value stones.
5. Ask how and when you are paid. Cash, bank transfer, or both. Ask before the gold leaves your hand, not after. See how you get paid, and how fast.

If a buyer will not let you watch any of these, that tells you what you need to know. You can pick your gold up and leave.

Which two quotes are worth getting?

You do not need five quotes. Two is enough, and they should be different in kind.

Quote one: a counter buyer near you. Walk in with the piece, get it weighed and tested, and ask for the figure. Do not sell yet. Take the number away.

Quote two: a different kind of buyer. If the first was a chain branch, try a jeweller or a pickup buyer. Different buyers set their margins differently, and that is why two shops quote different rates on the same gold. See why two shops quote you different rates.

Compare the two on weight, purity and rate. If all three match and only the final figure differs, you have found the buyer's margin. If the weights differ, ask why. If you want to sell gold for cash and nothing has to happen today, a second quote costs you only a little time. For more on this, read should you get a second quote before you sell your gold.

How far is the counter from my sector?

From Gaur City 1 and 2, Gaur Chowk (Char Murti), Ek Murti Chowk, Sector 1, Sector 4, Sector 16, 16B and 16C, Tech Zone 4, Amrapali Dream Valley and Leisure Valley, Bisrakh Road, Kisan Chowk, Patwari or Vaidpura, most people walk in or ride over in about ten to fifteen minutes (a map estimate). Crossings Republik is across the road. The counter is open 9 am to 10 pm, every day, so you can pick a quiet hour. Details are on the visit page.

When is a pickup the right call here?

Choose a pickup if you would rather not carry gold on the road, or if the pieces are many or valuable to your family. A set from a wedding is a good example. Choose the counter if you have one chain or a broken earring, or if you want to compare quotes in person. Our home pickup guide explains how the two compare.

Sellers here typically bring old chains, bangles, rings and the odd single earring. Whichever you choose, the five checks above still apply. Our page for Noida Extension has the local details.

What do I do next?

1. Gather your gold. A photo ID helps; see why a gold buyer asks for photo ID.
2. Pick two buyers of different kinds.
3. Run the five checks at both.
4. Choose, or go home and think. Both are fine.
