At Bert Levi Family Jewelers, we buy thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry every week. We know how to buy jewelry, and we’re good at it. We also know that sometimes people want to do it themselves. The truth is, one of the big advantages of selling to a jeweler like us is that you get it all done quickly and efficiently. However, that means you definitely don’t get as much as you would get selling to someone who doesn’t need to make more than was paid for it.
If you want to give selling your jewelry a shot yourself, here are some ideas for you.
Use Online Auctions and Direct Marketplaces to Sell Jewelry
You can use online auction platforms eBay or direct sales marketplaces like Amazon or Etsy to sell jewelry. There are also specialized jewelry selling websites like Ruby Lane. A simple internet search will get you to sites that can give you a bigger reach.
Sell Your Jewelry with Private Sales
You can sell jewelry to friends, family, acquaintances, coworkers, and others. This can be time-consuming and requires patience but if you have the time to wait, you may get more money for the jewelry you sell. There are pitfalls to business transactions with friends and family if something goes wrong, though, so be careful about that.
Online Classifieds
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and other local online classifieds can put you in touch with people in your area looking to sell. Be careful when meeting someone in person and avoid scams that involve you sending your jewelry before you’ve been paid!
