Where Our Sellers Come From
One counter, on the Galt Ocean Mile in Fort Lauderdale. Below is every area within a sensible drive, with the real travel time rather than a marketing one.
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.

Where we are
If you live in one of these, you are not driving anywhere.
Fifteen minutes or less
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.
Explore →
14 min
Victoria Park
Older housing near the New River. Estates here often include mid-century sterling flatware, which is worth testing rather than assuming is plate.
Explore →
4 min
Sea Ranch Lakes
A small gated village effectively next door to our Fort Lauderdale counter. Four minutes, no highway.
Explore →
13 min
Pompano Beach
North on Federal or A1A. The newer oceanfront towers here mean a steady flow of relocation sales — people shedding what will not fit in the new place.
Explore →
Half an hour, give or take
Further out, and honest about it. For a small item this may not be worth your morning — for an estate lot it usually is.
18 min
Lighthouse Point
Canal-front homes with long-settled owners. Estate lots from here are frequently unsorted and unexamined for decades.
Explore →
25 min
Deerfield Beach
The northern edge of a comfortable drive to the Fort Lauderdale counter, close to the Palm Beach County line.
Explore →
30 min
Boca Raton
Palm Beach County sellers regularly drive south rather than use a local kiosk, usually because they want the testing done in front of them.
Explore →
25 min
Hollywood
Twenty-five minutes north on I-95 or Federal. Hollywood had our second counter until it closed, so sellers here now make the trip to the Galt Ocean Mile — still the shortest run to a dealer who buys metal every day rather than as a sideline.
Explore →
30 min
Hallandale Beach
Thirty minutes north up I-95 or Federal. Dense condominium population with a lot of relocation and downsizing sales, and a strongly seasonal one — a building full in February is half empty in August.
Explore →
20 min
Dania Beach
Twenty minutes north, and known for its antique district — we see more unusual and older pieces from Dania than from anywhere else on this list. Bring them unpolished.
Explore →
18 min
Davie
Inland western Broward. Larger properties mean estate clearances that arrive as several boxes rather than one.
Explore →
22 min
Plantation
West on Broward Boulevard or the 595. Established suburban housing with a lot of second-generation estate jewelry.
Explore →
26 min
Sunrise
Western Broward via the Sawgrass. Worth calling ahead if you are making the drive with a large lot so the cash is ready.
Explore →
24 min
Coral Springs
North-west Broward. Family homes of a generation now downsizing, which is exactly when jewelry boxes get emptied.
Explore →
30 min
Aventura
Thirty minutes north, just over the Broward line. Dense, high-turnover and strongly international — a lot of pieces here were bought abroad, and foreign purity marks are worth testing rather than reading.
Explore →
30 min
Pembroke Pines
Thirty minutes east, and the only city on this list sitting between two separate gold markets — Broward to the north, Miami-Dade about twenty minutes south. Most sellers here pick one without ever knowing there were two.
Explore →
30 min
North Miami
Along 125th Street and Biscayne the gold window is often a counter inside another business — a phone shop, a check casher, a clothing store. Thirty minutes north is a counter where buying metal is the trade rather than the sideline.
Explore →
Thirty to forty-five minutes
Most of these have their own metal trade, and several pages here will tell you to get a figure locally first. That is deliberate.
40 min
Miami
Miami sellers have more options than almost anywhere in Florida, and most of them are trade counters that were never built for a member of the public.
Explore →
40 min
Delray Beach
Delray estates tend to reach consignment before they reach a metal buyer, which is the right order for some of it and the wrong order for the rest.
Explore →
40 min
Miami Beach
Forty minutes north, and we would rather be upfront: for a single item this drive does not make sense. For an estate lot, or as a second opinion on a figure you already have, it does.
Explore →
33 min
Weston
The far western edge of the county. Weston sellers tend to make one trip with everything rather than several, so call ahead.
Explore →
40 min
Hialeah
Forty minutes north, and the one area here we would tell you to shop locally first. Hialeah holds one of the deepest independent jewelry trades in the state, and no seller inside it should arrive anywhere with only one number.
Explore →
35 min
Boynton Beach
Thirty-five minutes south, out of the age-restricted communities west of Congress Avenue — where a unit gets emptied to a closing date and the jewelry goes out with the dining set unless somebody pulls it first.
Explore →
45 min
Lake Worth
Downtown Lake Worth Beach runs on thrift, vintage and flea-market trade, and all of it prices a piece by how it looks. Forty-five minutes south is a counter that prices it by what it tests at.
Explore →
45 min
Coral Gables
Forty-five minutes north, out of the one city on this list where you will not find a window advertising cash for gold. Coral Gables regulates its signage tightly, so the trade here is retail jewelry and estate appraisal instead.
Explore →
Fifty minutes and beyond
The far edge of the fifty-mile radius we work to, up to Palm Beach Gardens and one town past it.
50 min
West Palm Beach
The furthest regular drive on this list, which makes it a trip worth planning rather than a detour.
Explore →
50 min
Wellington
Presentation silver is the recurring Wellington question. A trophy looks identical whether it is sterling or plated, and the difference is the entire value — so it is fifty minutes to a test and a scale.
Explore →
50 min
Palm Beach
Fifty minutes south, and the deepest local competition on this list. Worth Avenue, the island's estate jewelers and the auction route will beat any metal price on a piece worth selling intact, and we would rather tell you that than buy it.
Explore →
55 min
Palm Beach Gardens
Fifty-five minutes south, and the last city inside the fifty-mile line we work to. Retail here is one very large mall and the PGA Boulevard corridor, so the nearest place to compare an offer is usually a mall jewelry counter.
Explore →
65 min
Jupiter
The only area on this list outside the fifty-mile radius we work to, and an hour and five minutes each way. It is here because sellers from Jupiter make the trip anyway, and there is exactly one reason that is rational: any written offer gets beaten.
Explore →
The fifty-mile question
Why anyone drives an hour to sell metal
There is one honest reason, and it is the only one we lead with:make us your last stop when shopping around. Get a figure wherever is nearest, get it in writing, then bring it here. If you have a written offer we will beat it.
That is what makes a fifty minute drive rational and it is also what makes it unnecessary for a single light ring. Email photographs to info@sygusa.com before you set off and we will tell you which of the two you have. We would rather talk you out of the trip than have you make it for nothing.
Outside Broward?
We are licensed in Florida as a mail-in secondhand precious metals dealer, so distance is not a hard stop. But we will say plainly what we tell everyone: being present while your metal is tested and weighed is worth more than any convenience. If you can drive, drive. If you cannot, call us and we will explain exactly how the mail-in process works before you send anything.
Get a number
Find out what it is actually worth.
Bring it in, or email a few photos first. Either way you get a real figure and no pressure to take it.
Bring valid government-issued photo ID. Florida law requires it for every purchase.
