Estimates use the same USD spot basis as our calculators. Not financial advice, not a purchase offer, and not a guarantee of what any buyer will pay.
For large totals, consider at least one refinery/online quote; the % difference can outweigh the inconvenience.
Large totals benefit from sorting: mixed karats, stones, and non-gold parts can drag down a blended payout.
