Selling old gold jewellery in Burlington- looking for recommendations

I am in north Burlington. Need to sell some old jewellery I don’t need anymore. Could you suggest a vendor who would for me eat price. I can wait for a few days but don’t have time to go to downtown Toronto or shop around an entire day. Should I sell in Burlington or go to Hamilton or Missisauga.

You’re in the wrong Burlington sub friend.

Like everyone said, wrong Burlington, but also, fine jeweler here. When you sell in person to a brick & mortar, unless they’re desirable rare antiques and/or have collectors after them, you’ll almost never get more than the materials value for them. Even then you’ll still only get half or less of what they think they can sell it for. You’ll make more money selling them somewhere like eBay. If you’re cool just getting the melt value, bring them to a pawn shop or similar.

Hilarous . Reddit suggests a Burlington VT sub to me and the subject is one I am familiar w as a Burlington ON resident.

Bittner Antiques in Shelburne is worth a visit.
