Since gold is based on karats, as well as weight, you’ll find that we measure in what are known as Troy ounces.  A Troy pounce is equivalent to 31 grams, so if you place your item on the scale and it reads in grams then divide by 31, you’ll be able to see exactly how much your item is worth in Troy ounces.  At Cash Express, each of our team members is experienced at buying and selling gold, so we can help you make sure that you leave with the amount of cash that you’re expecting. 

You’ll also want to look up the value of the particular type of gold that you bring in.  This is easy to accomplish with Google.  An example might be a 24-karat gold ring that is currently priced at $400 an ounce.  If your ring weighs a half-ounce, then it would essentially be worth almost $200.  Each pawn shop is different in terms of what percentage you’ll receive from the total, so give us a call to find out the specifics.
