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.
You 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.
How We Determine Your Gold's Value
Understanding how gold pricing works helps you feel confident when you sell. Every 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.
