I have a PT950 ring, 18.6 grams. Melt down value was $802.00 what should I expect to get for it.

For gold and silver, I go to silver queen on west bay across from largo med or a few local jewelers. I usually get around 85-90 percent of melt. Platinum may be a bit better sincevit seems to be holding its own right now. My only platinum ring i cleaned up and sold on fee bay. Helped thatvit was tiffany. Best of luck.

I went into a pawn shop like a week ago and they offered 68% of spot... so I called him a crook and walked out...
ARA will give you 90%. I don't think you can beat it.

You will get 98% from ARA. Anywhere else is going to be a rip. Getting 85 or 90% is a big loss. It takes a week. 15% of $802=$120.30 lost. Sending to ARA you lose $16.04. It is just a no brainer.
ARA pays 98% on gold and plat.
Sorry they don't. Read their sheet. It's 90% on plat. Look under refining schedule. I have sent them 3 plats so far.

Try David Reynolds on Central Ave. They have always been very honest with me in the past.

True, they are moving a few blocks away. Told me the move would be complete next week. I just sent them some rings and they will get them on Friday. I made sure they were still at the same address. They will have their new address up once the move is complete.

As Scubadetector said,,,,ALSO, remember,,,950 means 95% plat,,,,,sweet find, I have a plain Plat950 band that weighs 14gs and I just can't seem to part with it,,,,,,don't know why but it sits,,,,,GL HH
Yep, my bad. I guess I forgot the melt because I never found any!
I keep getting mixed messages of ARA requiring a Tax ID #, and others saying you can just send it in without one.
Anyone that has used ARA recently that can explain the process?

Yep. on the sheet, Just put your SSAN. Thats what they need now.
iv been sending everything to them for 4 years..never used there form,just put a note in the package with name ,address and phone number and to sell all stones if you don't want them.or they will have a jewler bid on the stones and send them back to you with a price quote on the stones. then you will get separate checks for gold/silver/plat a few days apart. normally takes about 10 days but longer on Palladium as they send it out to be processed. never had a problem with them.

Yep...ARA gives 90% of Spot and they are the highest paying buy....so locally I would think you will take a beating.
