How to sell used gold safely

  1. 1Choose a licensed & registered buyer — avoid roadside stalls or sketchy WhatsApp offers.
  2. 2Make sure the purity test is done openly (XRF machine), not hidden.
  3. 3Ask for a transparent calc: current gold price × net weight × purity = final amount shown.
  4. 4Get a free, no-obligation valuation — you're free to decline.
  5. 5Take immediate payment on the spot (cash / transfer), not a later promise.
  6. 6Compare at least 2–3 buyers before selling — prices differ.
  7. 7Keep the receipt / record of sale.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I sell my gold for today?

The highest published buy-back price we track today is about RM 546.30 per gram for 999 gold. What you're actually offered depends on the purity test, the net weight after stones and clasps are excluded, and the buyer's margin on the day.

Why is the buy-back price lower than the selling price?

Every dealer quotes two prices: what they sell to you at, and what they buy from you at. The gap is their margin and it covers testing, refining and holding the metal. Buy-back always sits below the selling price — that spread is the real cost of owning physical gold.

Can I sell gold without a receipt?

Yes. A licensed buyer values gold by weight and purity, not paperwork, so a missing receipt is not a problem — broken (patah) pieces are sellable too. Bring your IC, as licensed dealers are required to record the seller's identity.

How do I get the best price for used gold?

Get quotes from two or three licensed buyers before selling; rates differ meaningfully between them. Insist the purity test is done in front of you (XRF machines are standard), ask for the calculation to be shown — current price × net weight × purity — and take payment on the spot.

Is a pawnshop the same as selling my gold?

No. Ar-Rahnu is a loan against your gold, which you redeem later by repaying plus a safekeeping fee (upah simpan). Selling transfers ownership permanently. If you intend to keep the piece, pawn it; if not, selling usually nets more.
