Walk in with gold, walk out with cash
This is a same-day, in-person transaction. Bring your gold and a valid photo ID to 6809 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77074 during store hours (Monday–Thursday 9:30 AM–7:00 PM, Friday–Saturday 9:30 AM–8:00 PM, Sunday 12:00–7:00 PM) — no appointment, no mail-in kit, no waiting for a check to clear. Most visits run 15 to 20 minutes from the counter to cash in hand.
You watch the karat test and the weighing, hear a firm number tied to that day's gold market, and decide on the spot. Accept and you are paid immediately; decline and your items go home with you at no cost.
If the timing is what matters most — a bill due before payday, a repair that cannot wait — the same-day selling guide walks through what to bring and what happens at the counter so one trip is enough. Gold King buys outright; there is no loan, no interest and nothing to redeem later.

What your gold is worth, in short
The offer is gram weight multiplied by karat purity multiplied by the live gold spot price, with designer pieces, stones and collectible coins valued above melt where the market supports it. Gold King pays top dollar for gold and is among Houston's higher-paying gold buyers, so it is worth comparing our per-gram rate with anyone else you visit.

Gold we take cash offers on
Bring anything gold: jewelry you no longer wear, broken chains, bent rings and single earrings, 10K through 24K pieces, dental gold and casting scrap, gold watches and watch cases, plus gold coins, bars and rounds such as American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs and Perth Mint bars. Karats are separated before pricing so nothing is paid at a blended rate.
Silver, platinum, diamonds and luxury watches in the same box are evaluated at the same visit and rolled into one cash total. Larger bullion positions can be paid by bank wire when the amount is more than you want to carry.
Also useful: sell gold coins, sell gold bullion and bars, sell silver in Houston or sell luxury watches.
