Below you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you have any further questions, you can contact us at any time via our Contact page contact us or send us an email at info@goldankauf-martin.de. We look forward to receiving your enquiry.
We do not have a minimum quantity requirement. We buy even the smallest quantities of precious metals, such as a gold ring or a gold tooth.
We buy gold, silver, tin, platinum and palladium in any condition and in any form.
Examples:
Using a calibrated set of scales, the jewellery is weighed separately according to alloy (carat), and the price is calculated on the basis of the current share price determined. You can find out more about this here

The offer is dependent on the current gold price; as this changes constantly, the offer is valid for the day in question.
Yes, any traces of tooth material or ceramic are expertly removed so that the gold content can be accurately determined.
14-carat (585) gold has a fine gold content of 58.5%. 18-carat (750) gold has a fine gold content of 75%. Consequently, its value is also higher.
If your valuables contain diamonds, these will be taken into account when calculating the value from 0.25 ct (carats) upwards. Other precious or semi-precious stones will be removed from their settings and returned to you on request.
Our service is free of charge for you. You do not pay any fees, neither for the precious metal analysis nor for the valuation.
You can bring items to us even if you are not sure whether they are genuine gold. We will check for you, free of charge, whether they are actually gold.

You can find the current price of gold at Gold prices.
You must be at least 18 years old to sell precious metals.
The gold is recycled and returned to the gold cycle. Gold is a rare raw material. An average of 11,000 tonnes of gold is traded each year.
Of this total, only around 3,500 tonnes come from mines around the world, whilst almost two-thirds come from recycling. Goldankauf Martin contributes to this valuable cycle.
