In this video we will be explaining how to sell scrap gold with reDollar by demonstrating the two options of selling on our website. Scrap gold can be broken jewelry, old wedding rings, mis-matched earrings and more. Today we will be explaining our selling process using a gold class ring, gold wedding band, and gold necklace for example. When our customers sell scrap gold there are two options they can do it by either describing the items, or knowing the weight of them. From there, they have two ways to ship their items to us, lets explain. Scrap gold price is calculated by its weight but oftentimes customers do not have access to the items weight. And in this case it is helpful to know the purity of the items along with some general knowledge about the pieces. Gold is marked with a purity stamp.
A magnifying glass or a jewelers loop like this are helpful tools to spot small markings. All three of our pieces are made of 14k gold. Let's go to reDollars website to find out how to sell these pieces with the information we have. On reDollars website, I selected 'Sell Now' at the top which brings us to our selling form. There are two ways to ship your items. We will email you a free and fully insured shipping label for immediate use. Just print the label and use any box for shipping your valuables. We can also mail you a shipping kit containing everything you need for shipping and selling. Let's select the free shipping label this time and we will get into the free shipping kit a little later on. First, enter in your information on the form and for times sake I'm going to fill this in quickly and we will move on to the next step.
Now, let's enter in our items' description with as much information as we have. We know these items are all 14k gold. I'm typing in 14k gold class ring, 14k gold wedding band and 14k gold necklace. Now select the 'Sell Now' button. The form has submitted and a shipping label is sent to your email which you can immediately print out and ship your items. When customers choose a free shipping label, they will pack their items with materials at home. Let's demonstrate some shipping items they use that work well. Here is the shipping label we printed out and this is a collection of typical pieces customers utilize to ship their items to us. Nearly everyone has an old Amazon box lying around at home and they are perfect for shipping because they are a solid container. Even old shoe boxes work really well, or a padded envelope works great for smaller items. It is very important to ensure your items are padded or bubble-wrapped on the inside. This guarantees good protection and soundproofing. We have received items wrapped in old newspaper and even paper towels.
The main goal is to ship your items in a secure solid container with good padding on the inside And our customers really do a good job shipping the pieces to us safely. Once the items are securely boxed up, simply attach the printed label and the package is ready to send to us. Just drop the package off at your local post office or UPS store and our expert team will give you the price offer and once accepted, you get paid in the same day. Now, let's go over selling items knowing the weight. When you know the weight of your items, you can utilize reDollars Gold Calculator which will tell you exactly how much your gold is worth that day.
To find out the weight of your items, you need an accurate scale like this one. You can order this scale from us, we sell it for just $5 on our website. Let's weigh our items. Since they are all the same purity 14K gold we can weigh them together. But I am going to weigh each item individually. Both ways work. Let's start with our class ring. It weighs 20.29 grams of 14K gold. Up next, our wedding band. This band is 3.47 grams on 14K gold. And lastly, our 14K gold necklace. It is 2.52 grams of 14K gold. Now that we have the weight of our gold let's go to reDollars website to get the value and shipping information.
We are back on reDollars website and at the top this time I selected 'Calculate Payout' which brings us to the Gold & Silver Calculator. And we are finding out the value of our gold pieces today, they are all scrap items and they are all 14K gold purity. So I'm going to enter in the weight of each item individually. Like I said if you weigh everything together then you can put the total weight here. Our gold class ring weighed 20.29 grams and we see its payout over to the right so what I'm going to do is add to the sale and you'll see that it is down here on our selling summary. Now we are going to add in our wedding band which is 3.47 grams of 14K gold.
Adding it to the sale. And then lastly is our gold necklace. Our 14K gold necklace weighs 2.52 grams of gold. It pays out over $100 and let's add it to the sale here. So here's our selling summary and it has all three of the pieces which has a total payout of $1,083.79. So I'm clicking 'Sell Now' which brings us to this page, it shows our payout amount.
And once again, we have our selling options. This time I'm going to select 'Order A Free Shipping Kit'. I'll fill all of this information out once more. Now the form has been filled out and it brings us to this screen which confirms our order. And our free selling kit will be mailed out to us. A selling summary will be sent to your email and you can also download it off of the website right here. Now let's go take a look at what the shipping kit includes. When you order a free shipping kit from reDollar you will receive a UPS shipping box and its inner padded envelope Along with this kit which contains the rest of the tools.
Let's open up the kit and see what's inside. Inside the kit is a plastic bag you can put your items in. Two plastic sleeves. These attach to the outer and inner shipping box and padded envelope. You will put your shipping labels inside of them. A selling summary. This shows your total payout along with the information on the items. Their weight, metal, alloy and type. This confirmation sheet can come in handy. Sometimes after customers receive their kit they may come across more items they want to sell. And this sheet is for that purpose. If you are adding a lot more items and feel that you need a higher insurance on the shipment contact us and we will adjust it before you send the package.
Fill out the form and describe your assets. You can add the items to your bag. The top copy goes in the box and the bottom copy you can keep for your records. Here are the shipping labels. Inside will be the outer box label and the inner padded envelope label. And lastly is this booklet which contains lots of helpful information. Now let's demonstrate how to set up the UPS box. The box is assembled and I attached the two plastic sleeves and inserted the correct labels on the box and the envelope. I have my scrap items in the bag along with the selling summary and confirmation sheet which I'm going to put in the padded envelope. And close it up. I am going to fold this up a few times so it fits into our box. And what's nice when you fold it is you are definitely ensuring it has even more padding on the inside.
Now let's close it up. We highly encourage getting some more tape and taping around the sides of the box for some extra protection. Now the box is ready to send to reDollar. Just drop the package off at your UPS store and once the offer is accepted you will receive a same day payout.
