How Much do GoldFellow Pay
How does GoldFellow calculate the value of my gold jewelry?

GoldFellow will calculate the value of your gold jewelry primarily based on these factors:

The price of gold as quoted by the London afternoon fixing on the day of settlement.
The karat content of your gold which is a percentage of 24 karat:10kt is 41.6%; 14kt is 58.3%; 18kt is 75% gold.

The actual weight of your gold items.

Payment amounts are calculated in Pennyweights and all weights and sizes are accepted. It takes 20 Pennyweights to make one ounce of gold so a pennyweight is one twentieth of gold.

Listed on the website is the price of gold they pay. This varies daily as the spot gold price changes.

Listed on website are the up to date scrap goldprices for less than 10 ounces of gold as well as 10 ounces and more. Many scrap gold dealers do not give the under 10 ounces scrap gold price but simply a quote so here at least you get the scrap gold price they will pay you.

You can select one of the following methods of payments for your Settlement on GoldFellow’s CashExpress form:

Company check sent via USPS or via FedEx Overnight shipping with the fee deducted from the payment of your Settlement;

A wire transfer into your bank or brokerage account in accordance with the instructions you have provided GoldFellow and with the fee deducted from the payment of your Settlement.

Direct deposit into your PayPal™ account in accordance with the instructions you provided to GoldFellow or if you don't select a method of payment, then GoldFellow will send you a company check via USPS.

If you selected to be paid by wire transfer or PayPal, you agree to the terms and conditions of immediate payment which includes a waiver of a return period. In other words, once you have been paid by PayPal or Bank Wire you cannot return the payment and claim back the scrap gold or silver.

If you selected to be paid by company check, you will have 10 days from the date on the check to notify us by email or telephone that you wish to decline the settlement and return the check. When your un-cashed check is timely received, we will return your items. GoldFellow™ will ship your items back to you via FedEx® Express Saver, but will only insure the package for the value of your settlement.

Last word on GoldFellow
Michael Gusky states on his website, "I was curious about other companies offering to buy gold jewelry online. Many claim to pay high prices for gold but consumers don’t have any way to verify that claim, so I did an experiment:"

"I sent identical packets of 14K gold charms to six of GoldFellow’s™ competitors. At the time, they should have yielded around $56 each, yet checks ranged from as little as $10.50 to $41 - for the exact same gold! I was so shocked, I gave GoldFellow™ a mission: pay consumers top dollar for their gold, platinum and silver in an honest, transparent environment. That’s our goal."
