How it works
Something you can follow from the first minute
The commonest reason for putting it off is not the price but the feeling of not being able to judge it. So everything happens in the open, with you watching.
In four steps
From walking in to being paid
- 01
Come in
Walk in, bring photo ID.
- 02
Examined & weighed
Loupe, timing machine, acid test, calibrated scales – in front of you.
- 03
Get your offer
A firm price with the arithmetic shown. No obligation.
- 04
Paid immediately
Cash on the spot. Bank transfer the same day if you prefer.
Preparation
What to bring
Your piece
Uncleaned and unrepaired. Attempts at polishing lower the value more often than they raise it.
Photo ID
Passport or identity card. Required by German law for precious metal purchases.
Papers, if you have them
Certificate, invoice, service booklet, spare links, box. Every one can lift the price.
Time for a conversation
15 to 30 minutes. For larger collections, better to book.
Our promise
Three things you can rely on
We show you the arithmetic
Rate, hallmark, weight, deductions — every figure visible. Checking it yourself is welcome.
We do not push
Take the offer away, compare it, come back in a week. No “today only” prices.
We also say no
If a piece would do better with a specialist, we tell you.
FAQ
Everything else, briefly
Nothing. The examination and offer are free and carry no obligation, including if you decide not to sell.

Fine gold rate × hallmark (333 to 999) × weight. We weigh and test in front of you and show the calculation.

Your piece and valid photo ID — required by law for precious metal. Bring any papers you have.
