How Selling Gold & Silver Works at KC Gold and Silver
Selling precious metals should be transparent, quick, and pressure-free. Here's exactly what happens when you walk into our Lenexa shop or book an appointment online — from your first phone call through cash in hand.
Step 1 — Book or walk in
You can walk in during business hours or book a free appointment online in under a minute. Appointments guarantee a dedicated buyer is ready when you arrive, so there's no waiting during busy periods. Either way, evaluations are always free and you're never obligated to sell.
Step 2 — Bring valid ID and your items
Kansas law requires precious-metal dealers to verify the seller's identity, so bring a driver's license, state ID, or passport. Pile everything you're considering into a box or bag — even tangled chains, single earrings, broken pieces, and items you're unsure about. There's no downside to including more; you'll only sell what you decide to sell.
Step 3 — Testing and weighing (in front of you)
Every item is tested and weighed at the counter where you can watch. We use a certified electronic scale accurate to the tenth of a gram, an XRF-style electronic tester for karat, and an acid test on higher-value gold pieces to confirm. Coins are identified by year, mint mark, and condition. Nothing goes into a back room.
Step 4 — Transparent, market-based pricing math, shown on paper
We evaluate each item against the current wholesale market using its verified weight and purity, then build a transparent, competitive cash offer. You'll see the weight, the purity, and the offer — written down and explained.
For bullion, recognized coins, and numismatics we evaluate against the market for that specific item. Sterling flatware, dental gold, and karat scrap are evaluated on their metal content.
Step 5 — Accept, decline, or take it home to think
There's no pressure. Accept the offer and we pay you the same day, in cash or by check — your choice. Decline and we hand everything back exactly as you brought it. Want to think about it? Take a written quote home; we'll honor it for the day at the current market we quoted.
What makes us different
We're a small, local, family-run shop — not a mall kiosk, not a mail-in operation, not a national chain. Every transaction is handled by a licensed buyer who explains the math in person. We're licensed and bonded in Kansas and report every purchase to the Lenexa Police Department as state law requires.
