Refining for Pawn Shops & Jewelers

Top-dollar payouts. We come to you.

Local pickup and refining for pawn shops and jewelers handling gold, silver and platinum. Backed by more than 35 years in the pawn industry and over 20 years in precious-metals refining, our team works with two of the largest pawn shops in San Diego.

Settlement is based on assayed precious-metal content and the agreed settlement price. Contact the owner to arrange your pickup.

Top-dollar advances are available at pickup after checking your material. Most standard business lots settle next business day, with timing confirmed for your lot.
