You're heading to the official Cash Stop Pawnbroking store on eBay.
That broken chain, single earring or ring you never wear could be cash in your pocket today. Cash Stop buys gold and silver at all five Sydney stores - tested and weighed in front of you, priced from the live market rates, with instant cash if you're happy. We sell quality second-hand jewellery too.
We buy and sell gold in store at every Cash Stop branch - just drop in.
If it's gold or silver - whole, broken or somewhere in between - we want to see it
Gold and silver are our bread and butter - but if it's precious, it's worth bringing in. Testing is always free and there's never any obligation to sell. (Want cash without parting with your valuables for good? Our pawnbroking service lets you borrow against them instead.)
Three things decide what your gold is worth: its purity (the karat), its weight, and the gold market price on the day. We price your gold with our in-house gold calculator, working from the live spot price - so your offer always reflects the market on the day, not a number plucked from the air.
We test and weigh everything in front of you, show you the karat and weight we've found, and make you a clear offer. Testing is always free, there's no obligation to sell - and if you've had a quote elsewhere, bring it in. We're usually able to match or beat it.
Got a better offer from another pawnbroker? Bring it in - we'll beat it
Bring a written buy or loan offer for your gold from a reputable pawnbroking competitor, dated within the past 2 days, and we'll beat it by up to 5% - up to $50 above the offer. Just mention our Best Prices Guarantee at the counter. We'll test and appraise your gold in front of you, then make you the better offer - whether you're selling or borrowing against it.
For example: present a bona fide written offer for $1,000 and we'll purchase or loan against your qualified gold for $1,050.
The guarantee applies to offers based on the weight and karat of your gold (not gemstone value), excludes offers from online or wholesale dealers, refiners and smelters, and doesn't cover coins, ingots or watches. See the full Best Prices Guarantee terms & conditions.
The karat stamp on your gold tells us how pure it is - and purity is a big part of the price per gram
Karat | Gold Content | Commonly Found In |
|---|---|---|
9ct | 37.5% pure gold | Everyday Australian jewellery |
14ct | 58.5% pure gold | European and American jewellery |
18ct | 75% pure gold | Fine jewellery and engagement rings |
22ct | 91.7% pure gold | Traditional and heirloom pieces |
24ct | 99.9% pure gold | Bullion, coins and investment gold |
The price per gram we can offer depends on the karat, the weight and the gold market rate on the day. Visit or call your nearest branch for today's prices - no obligation, ever.
From your jewellery box to cash in hand in four simple steps
Rings, chains, bracelets, coins, watches - whole or broken, it all counts. Bring a current photo ID like a driver's licence or passport, and drop in whenever suits you.
Our staff check the karat and weigh your items right there on the counter - nothing leaves your sight, and we explain what we find as we go.
Our in-house gold calculator works from the live spot price, so your offer reflects the purity, the weight and the market rate at that moment. Take it or leave it - there's never any pressure or obligation to sell.
Happy with the offer? We pay you in cash on the spot - no waiting for bank transfers, no cheques, no coming back later.
Tested and weighed in front of you, with the karat, weight and rate explained before you decide.
Accept the offer and you're paid in cash on the spot - the whole visit usually takes minutes.
Sell us your unwanted gold, or browse quality second-hand jewellery at well below new retail prices.
If your gold has sentimental value, you don't have to sell it to unlock its worth. With our pawnbroking service you can borrow cash against your gold instead - your pieces are stored securely, and the moment you repay, they're back on your finger, wrist or neck where they belong.
Our staff are happy to quote you both options on the same visit, so you can choose what works best for you.
No item needed. Small loans up to $2,000 and personal loans up to $8,000, applied for in person at any branch.
Borrow against your valuables with no credit checks - cash on the spot, item back when you repay.
