Use The Digital Scale To Sell Gold

First and foremost, 10DollarScale.com was established to prevent people from getting ripped off when they plan to sell gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Every day, Americans are losing immense amounts of money just by not knowing what they own and how much it’s worth. You only need a digital gold scale, a magnifier, and a calculator to be perfectly prepared to sell gold. You are able to determine the weight, the purity, and the value of a few gold items in less than ten minutes. Those ten minutes may pay off huge. Sell gold using a digital scale from 10DollarScale – maybe the best investment you have ever made.

It’s a big misconception that determining the value of your precious metals is very complex. Yes, pawn shops want you to believe that you are not able to do a rough appraisal by yourself. It would be impossible for them to justify why they’d offer you 300 dollars if your gold is worth twice as much. Understanding the value of gold should better stay a well-kept secret according to fishy industry members. By owning a digital scale, finding a transparent and honest gold buyer is pretty easy. Once you know the value of your gold, you know who is a good buyer and who wants to take advantage of you. 

Which Of The Three Scales Should You Buy?

Most people only need one scale, and the right one is decided by the heaviest thing you plan to put on it.

• The $10 jewelry scale covers 0.01g to 200g. That is the one to buy for gold jewelry, scrap gold, dental gold, nuggets and single coins. Two hundred grams is roughly six and a half troy ounces, which is far more gold than most households will ever weigh at once. See the digital scale for gold page for what it does with karat gold.
• The $15 silver scale reaches a full 1,000 grams. Silver is the reason that extra capacity matters: a single sterling tray, a bundle of flatware or a roll of half dollars will run past the 200g limit long before gold ever does. The digital scale for silver page goes through coin weights and fineness marks.
• The $20 gemstone scale works in milligrams, which is what loose diamonds, small colored stones, pearls and gold flakes need. Details are on the diamond and gemstone scale page.

If you are weighing both gold and silver and want to buy once, the silver scale is the safer choice, because running out of capacity is a bigger problem than losing a decimal place. If everything you own is small and valuable, buy for sensitivity instead and take the jewelry scale.

Getting An Accurate Reading

A pocket scale is only as honest as the surface it sits on. None of this is complicated, but skipping it is how people end up mistrusting a perfectly good scale.

• Use a hard, level surface. A kitchen counter or a solid table. Not a rug, not a sofa cushion, not your lap.
• Keep moving air away. A scale reading to a hundredth of a gram will react to an air conditioning vent, an open window or someone walking past. Close the door and let the room settle.
• Let it find zero first. Switch the scale on with nothing on the pan and wait for a steady 0.00 before you place anything on it.
• Use the tare button. If your items are in a small bag or a dish, put the empty container on the pan, press tare to bring the reading back to zero, then add the items. You get the weight of the contents and nothing else.
• Weigh valuable pieces one at a time. A pile gives you a total, which is fine for scrap. But if the pieces are different karats, you need each one separately or the numbers will not mean anything.
• Let a cold scale warm up. Brought in from a car in winter, give it ten minutes indoors before you trust the display.
• Keep the pan clean and the scale in its case. Grit and dust under the pan are a real source of drift, and the case is what keeps them out.

Check the scale against a known weight from time to time. A calibration weight is the proper way to do it, and a fresh US nickel is a rough backup, since it is minted at five grams. If the reading has wandered, most pocket scales have a calibration mode described in their instructions.

Once you can trust the number on the display, the rest is arithmetic. The resource center explains the weighing units, and the gold and silver pages walk through turning a weight into a dollar figure.
