We test & weigh in front of you
We test metal purity and weigh items on a calibrated scale — in front of you. We'll show you karat markings, explain what they mean, and how they affect the current market-based offer.
Accept or decline — no pressure
We make a same-day market-based offer. If you accept, you get paid immediately. If you want time to think, that's completely fine. No pressure, no obligation to sell.
How We Calculate Your Gold Offer in Mobridge
Understanding how gold pricing works helps you feel confident when you sell. Every cash-for-gold offer at Larsen's is based on three factors we calculate and explain in front of you.
We confirm whether your gold is 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, or 24k. Higher karat means a higher percentage of pure gold in the alloy, which directly affects value. We test purity in-store and explain what the results mean.
Your item is weighed on a calibrated gram scale. We combine weight with purity so you can see exactly how the numbers add up. Even small or broken pieces carry real metal value — don't leave anything out.
Offers reflect the current daily spot price for gold and silver, updated each day. Your offer is tied to real market values — not a fixed house price. We explain how spot price connects to your specific offer.

How to Prepare Before You Come In to Sell Gold
A little preparation makes the evaluation faster and helps you get the most from your visit. Here's what to do before you drive to Mobridge — especially if you're coming from McLaughlin, Selby, or Timber Lake.
Before making the drive, text 2–4 clear photos to (605) 850-9455. Include close-ups of any karat stamps (10k, 14k, 18k, 925) if visible. We'll give you a quick initial read so you know it's worth the trip.
Bring all your gold and silver items — including broken chains, single earrings, mismatched pieces, and old scrap. Broken gold has the same metal value as wearable gold. Nothing is too small or too damaged to evaluate.
A government-issued photo ID is required for all gold and silver transactions in South Dakota. Bring your driver's license or state ID. For large estates or collections, calling ahead helps us set aside time.
