The only way to separate the true facts from the hype when assessing an Internet precious metals buyer is to consider their offers and promises and put them to the test. That’s exactly what we did when we checked out Cash for Gold USA. Here’s what we found out!

One thing was obvious right from the start: Cash for Gold USA is one of the leading buyers and refiners of gold, silver and platinum in the business. Their parent company is CJ Environmental, a precious metals refinery that’s been in business for many years and has an outstanding reputation. In fact, they were named to the prestigious INC 500 list of top websites by INC Magazine earlier this year. Perhaps equally important, this buyer is an accredited member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) with no unresolved complaints from consumers on their records. So far, so good! But how would they fare with regard to their offers and promises?

Promises Kept and Real Offers Made

Offer: Free ‘Goldpak’ mailer within 48 hours of receiving your request. We had serious doubts about this one, but it did arrive on time. Of the five sites in our test, only Cash for Gold USA and one other made it happen on time.

Offer: We Pay 3X More – We used the same technique we use with every gold buyer we assess; we sent the exact same items to five known companies and looked at how much we got paid. It was true and we were actually somewhat surprised. When the checks arrived, Cash for Gold USA.com had paid us just a few cents less than 3X what we received from the others. Based upon the spot market price for gold at the time, we got the best possible price.

Offer: We Pay Faster – This was important, too, because sellers who need money usually need it yesterday. We received the check from Cash for Gold USA in two days but it was postmarked within 24 hours of receiving our mailer containing the items. They promised “usually within 24 hours” and that’s just what they did. Only Cash for Gold USA made this deadline and one other almost made it.

Offer: Satisfaction Guaranteed – This company states ”If you are not satisfied with the price we pay, you can return our check with no questions asked and we will send you back all your property.” We didn’t test this one because we were delighted with our check. There’s no doubt that anyone else did either, but based upon the outstanding way Cash for Gold USA does business, we don’t doubt it for a second!

BASED UPON THE ABOVE FINDINGS, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CASH FOR GOLD USA AS OUR NUMBER ONE CHOICE.
