How to Sell your Gold and Silver

How to Sell Gold & Silver in Groot Brak River — What to Expect at Grootbrak Gold Trader.
Selling gold or silver shouldn’t be stressful. At Grootbrak Gold Trader (Shop 5, 53 Long St, Groot Brak River), we make the process quick, transparent and professional.Here’s a clear, step‑by‑step guide to what happens when you bring your items in — and how to get the best offer.
1. Bring your ID and your items
By law we must verify identity, so please bring a valid South African ID document. Bring the jewellery or scrap metal in whatever condition it’s in — even broken or damaged pieces can have significant value. If you can, bring any receipts, certificates or previous valuations, but these are optional.
2. Quick initial inspection
When you arrive our team will do a visual inspection right away. We check for hallmarks, maker’s marks, clasps, and obvious stones. This quick check helps us identify whether a piece is solid gold/silver, plated, or costume jewellery.
3. Free professional testing & valuation
We perform free in‑shop tests (acid tests, magnet checks and visual inspection; we may use more advanced testing when needed). These tests determine purity (karat for gold, sterling for silver) and help calculate the metal value. Valuation is transparent — we’ll explain how we arrived at the offer and show the tests when appropriate.
Note: We don’t publish a set price per gram on the website because market rates change daily. For the current offer, please visit the shop or contact us directly via the WhatsApp button on our homepage.
4. Payment & turn‑around time
If you accept the offer, payment is immediate — cash or via agreed electronic transfer. Most transactions are completed within minutes via instant EFT, depending on queue and testing needs. For more complex valuations we may need a little longer, and we’ll tell you before starting.
5. Why come to Grootbrak Gold Trader?
We offer free, professional testing and valuation, fair transparent offers, and a friendly local service. In some cases we pay more than the piece’s melt weight when design, maker or collectability adds value.Visit us at Shop 5, 53 Long St, Groot Brak River — or find us on the map: Google Maps location
