Fort Lauderdale · Broward County
Tested, Weighed and Priced While You Watch
Gold, silver and platinum buyers with two counters in Broward County since 2004. Your metal never leaves the counter, and the arithmetic happens where you can read it.
No appointment needed. No obligation to sell.
Live metal market
This is the market your offer is calculated against — not a chart printed last week. Your items are tested and weighed at the counter, and the arithmetic is done in front of you.

The difference
Why people drive past three other buyers
Tested and weighed while you watch
Your metal never leaves the counter. It is acid or XRF tested, weighed on a certified scale, and the arithmetic is done in front of you. No back room, no "let me check with the manager".
Priced against live spot, not a wall chart
The gold price moves all day. Any buyer quoting from a printed sheet is quoting yesterday. Our offer is calculated against the live market at the moment you are standing there.
Twenty years in the same county
We have been buying metal in Broward since 2004, from two permanent locations. A kiosk in a shopping centre and a hotel-ballroom buying event have a different relationship with the neighbourhood than we do.
You can walk away
Get the number, take it to someone else, come back if it is better. Nobody here will pressure you and nothing gets sent anywhere until you say yes.
Six steps
How it works
Nothing goes into a back room. Every step below happens with you standing there.
01 · Empty the bag
Do not sort or clean anything first. We work through it item by item.
02 · Tested in view
Acid or XRF for karat, with the result shown to you rather than reported to you.
03 · Weighed openly
Certified scale, display facing you, in troy units. Stones and clasps taken out of the weight.
04 · Priced on live spot
The market at that moment, not a chart printed last week.
05 · You decide
Take the number elsewhere and come back. Nothing has been sent anywhere.
06 · Paid same day
With photo ID recorded, as Florida law requires of every licensed dealer.

Or sell it another way
We are not the right answer for everything, and each of these beats us at something.
Selling to Us vs. a Pawn Shop
Different businesses that happen to buy the same thing. A pawn shop makes its money on loans and resale; we make ours on metal volume.

Selling Locally vs. Mailing It Away
The mail-in model works. The problem is what happens to your negotiating position the moment the package leaves your hands.

Us vs. a Kiosk or a Hotel Buying Event
The difference is not the testing equipment. It is whether the buyer will still be there next month.

Selling It Yourself Online vs. Selling to Us
You will get a higher headline price online. Whether you keep it is a different question — and we sell on eBay ourselves, so this is not a guess.

Areas served
Two counters in Broward
Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, with 22 areas inside a sensible drive. Travel times below are real ones.
Our counter
Galt Ocean Mile
Our Fort Lauderdale counter is on this stretch of North Ocean Boulevard. For the oceanfront towers here it is a walk, and estate jewellery from these buildings is a large part of what crosses the counter.

5 min
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Minutes north on A1A. A older, settled population means estate lots rather than one-off pieces — often a full box after a house is cleared.
Explore →
6 min
Coral Ridge
Six minutes south along Federal or Bayview. Many Coral Ridge sellers are downsizing rather than liquidating, which usually means sorted, well-kept pieces.
Explore →
9 min
Oakland Park
Straight west on Oakland Park Boulevard, and the easiest approach during season when A1A backs up.
Explore →
12 min
Wilton Manors
A short run inland. We see a lot of watch and designer-piece questions from here, where the brand often matters more than the metal.
Explore →
13 min
Downtown Fort Lauderdale
The Las Olas and downtown corridor. Convenient at lunchtime, and the reason we hold weekday hours rather than weekend-only.

Send photos before you drive over
Tell us roughly what you have and we will reply the same working day with what it looks like and what the number depends on. A real figure still needs the items on a scale, but you will know whether the drive is worth making.

FAQ
Common questions
- Do I need an appointment?
- No. Walk in during business hours at either counter. Call first only if you are bringing a large estate lot, so the cash and a second tester are ready.
- What do I need to bring?
- Valid government-issued photo ID, and you must be 18 or older. Florida law requires a dealer to record every purchase and take a copy of your ID.
- Is a valuation free?
- Yes, and there is no obligation attached to it. Get the number, take it elsewhere, come back if ours is better.
- How do you decide what to pay?
- Purity, weight in troy units, and the live spot price at that moment. The arithmetic is done in front of you so you can see each number.
- Will you tell me if I should not sell?
- Yes. If a coin carries a collector premium above melt, or a watch is worth more as a watch, we say so before we buy it. We would rather lose the transaction.
- Do you buy broken or damaged pieces?
- Yes. Condition is irrelevant when something is valued as metal. Bring the tangled, bent and single-earring pile too.
