AVERAGE GOLD SHOP PHILOSOPHY
Make as much money as possible on each deal. Take less knowledgeable customers for a ride and pay as little as possible, relying on less volume but larger profit margins.

Each item is priced on a case-by-case basis and includes factors such as Current Market Prices, Weight, Purity, and Characteristics (Is it Designer Jewelry? Is it an Antique? Does it contain diamonds or gems?). The Gold King consistently pays the most Cash in Western North Carolina and will give you an accurate and fair appraisal in person, with no obligation.

We test your gold jewelry in house if it is not properly marked or if there is some doubt regarding its fineness. Testing helps to ensure the accuracy of our appraisal. We do not have an accurate test for determining fineness of silver jewelry , so we only buy silver bullion (bars, rounds & coins) and Jewelry marked “sterling” or “925”.
