They say that gold is where you find it. If we take that literally, then we might listen to those crazy guys on TV who say they'll buy our 'old, broken gold' and believe that they're doing you a favour when they buy the brooch your Aunt Edna left you.
Truth is, they're dealers out to make a profit, and there's nothing wrong with that - just make sure that the price paid is fair for all. Before taking your gold in to any shop, take the time to know what you've got. Is it 10k, 14k, 18k or what. And how much does it weigh? Even a cheap kitchen scale will give you a good idea of gram weight.
Then, check the value by karat and weight with any of many sites on the internet that provide the daily gold prices. And ALWAYS get a second opinion.
