If you have gold that you want to sell but aren't really familiar with the process, you are likely looking for a gold buyer you can trust. You'll need to work with someone who will help you through the process of selling your gold and who will pay you a fair price for it. If that's what you're looking for, let us help here at Greenbrier Pawn. We have been buying and selling gold for 30 years now, so we have learned quite a bit in our time in the business! Stop by today or give us a call at 757-382-9066, and let us help you see how easy it is to sell your gold for cash!

Find a Local Gold Buyer in Chesapeake & Hampton Roads
The first tip that we have when it comes to selling gold is to look for a local gold buyer if you can. You might have heard about the online gold buyers out there, and you might have thought about giving one of them a try. That's understandable -- after all, if you're like me, you probably do a lot of business online when you can. However, when you're selling gold, it makes sense to deal with someone local. It's actually faster, easier, and more convenient -- you'll be able to sell your gold on the spot instead of waiting for the gold buyer to receive your gold in the mail and evaluate it, and you'll be able to skip the trip to the post office. You also don't have to worry about scams (which are rampant online, although I'm certainly not saying there aren't any legitimate online gold buyers -- there are definitely some good ones) or about the possibility of your gold getting lost in the mail. Which local buyer you should choose depends on where you're located, but if you're in Hampton Roads, I recommend visiting one of our Glenda Craddock pawn shops -- Greenbrier Pawn here in Chesapeake or our sister store, Hilltop Pawn, which is located in Virginia Beach.
Bring Any & All Gold to Get Paid Top Dollar
If you're hoping to get as much money as possible, you'll want to look for any and all unwanted gold in your home. We buy things that you might not have thought about as being valuable, like broken gold jewelry or scrap gold. If it's made from gold, we want it -- and we will pay you top dollar for it, on the spot!
Don't Forget Your ID When Visiting Greenbrier Pawn
The last remaining tip I have is this -- make sure you bring your government-issued, valid, unexpired ID when you come in. This isn't my rule -- it's required by the state for us to get an ID when we buy or make a pawn loan on something.
At Greenbrier Pawn, we are your local gold buying experts, and we'd love to pay you in cash for your gold today! Stop by or give us a call at 757-382-9066 today!
