Why sell now

Gold is near a record high. Your jewelry box isn't.

The gold in your drawer is worth far more today than the day you got it. A tangle of broken chains or one mismatched earring can become real cash this afternoon.

01

Prices are up sharply

Gold has climbed roughly 24% over the past year, so the same chain pays more than it did last season.

02

The visit takes minutes

Walk in, watch us test and weigh, hear a clear offer, walk out with cash. Most visits run under fifteen minutes.

03

You are never locked in

The appraisal is free with no obligation. Do not like the number? Keep your gold and walk away, no cost.

Empire vs the pawn shop

A gold desk, not a pawn counter.

A pawn shop is built around loans and lowball offers. We are gold buyers, plain and simple, and that focus shows up in your payout.

Reviews

Neighbors who got paid fairly.

★★★★★

Brought in a box of broken chains I assumed were worthless. They weighed every piece in front of me and the number was way more than I expected.

Sold my grandmother's coins here. They explained the karat and the rate clearly, no rush. Got more than two other shops offered me.

MMarcus T. · Flatbush
★★★★★

Honest is the word. They tested everything where I could see it and matched the live gold price. I will only sell here from now on.

Questions

Everything you might want to ask.

We pay a high percentage of the live market price, calculated by karat and weight and tested in front of you. The exact payout depends on the real-time gold price the day you visit. Call ahead for a quick estimate.

Always. Evaluation is free with no obligation. We weigh and test your items in front of you, give a clear offer, and you decide whether to sell. If you say no, you simply keep your items.

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. For a large collection or estate, call ahead and we will set aside private, unhurried time to go through everything with you.

Your items and a valid government photo ID. New York law requires identification for any precious metal transaction. That is it.

Yes. Condition does not change the gold value. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings and tangled lots are all paid by purity and weight, the same as anything else.
