    5 Reasons to Sell on Consignment

    Selling furniture, jewelry, art and clothing on consignment is a popular choice for anyone looking to earn some money on high-value items without the hassle of managing the sale. There is a lot involved in the sale of an item, including advertising, negotiating, and working through the weeds of unmotivated buyers. Selling via consignment allows the seller to pass the ownership of those tedious tasks to another individual as a trade for a percentage of the sale price.

    It is no wonder that selling firearms via consignment is just as popular as selling expensive handbags. If you are familiar with selling on consignment, you are aware that many of the benefits in doing so are equally present regardless of the nature of the item being sold. For example, whether you are selling an oriental rug or a handgun, you will find that selling via consignment limits the hassle of posting the item on Craigslist or Facebook and keeping up with the item’s post. Similarly, whether you are selling your Great Aunt’s porcelain doll collection or her hunting rifle, selling via consignment eliminates the uncomfortable negotiation process. Below is our list of top 5 benefits of selling an item, especially a firearm, on consignment.

  • How to Know When to Sell your Gold

    How to Know When to Sell your Gold

    Many large and impressive investment portfolios include commodities such as gold. And as with any investment, knowing when to buy and sell is a matter of understanding the ebb and flow of the current market. The good news is, if you are looking to sell your gold jewelry pieces or scrap gold that you own, you most likely do not need to drown yourself in quite so much knowledge. However, knowing when it’s a good time to scrap your gold for cash is in your best interest.

    How to Know When to Sell your Gold 

    How to Know When to Sell your Gold

    An easy way to determine when might be a good market time to part with your unwanted gold jewelry is when the American dollar is strong. The American dollar has been consistently strong in 2016 and is expected to continue to trend upwards. The reason that this is important is likely somewhat obvious: when you trade in your unwanted gold for cash, you are basically trading gold for dollars with the buyer. If you sell your gold when the dollar is strong, the dollars you receive from the trade will go farther than if you sell your gold when the dollar is weak.  

    A big temptation for a lot of sellers is holding onto their gold until the “optimal time”.  Unfortunately, recognizing the optimal time is about as difficult as predicting the future for most anyone, and especially for amateur commodity dealers. The best tip for those of you tempted by this train of thought is to look at what the market trends have been over the last 12 months. If the dollar has been strong and the price of gold has been positive consistently, take the jump and sell. Don’t overthink it or wait too long and miss out on a positive situation.

    If you decide it is the right time for you to sell your unwanted gold, shop around for the best buyer and highest bid. Also, make sure you know the current value of gold by checking a reputable source like www.goldprice.org. We here at Lambert Pawn are one of the leading gold buyers in the Whittier, CA area.
