Why Sell Gold at YML?
Where Should You Sell Gold
in Arizona?
The best price for scrap and estate gold in Arizona generally comes from a refinery rather than a pawn shop, jewelry store, or mail-in service. Each of those resells your gold to a refiner, and their offer has to cover that margin. YML Refinery refines in-house in Youngtown, so we quote against the live spot price directly. Every piece is tested with an XRF analyzer — which reads exact composition without damaging the item — rather than an acid test that scratches it and only estimates. You watch the weight and the test, you get the number, and you get paid the same day. No appointment, and no obligation if you decline the offer. Bring anything gold: broken chains, single earrings, class rings, dental gold, bullion, and coins. Karat is quoted separately rather than averaged, so an 18K piece is not paid at 10K rates because it shared a bag. Photo ID is required for any precious-metal transaction in Arizona, and that is the only paperwork involved.
Pawn shops buy gold as a sideline. They use acid tests, eyeball your piece, and offer 40–60 cents on the dollar hoping you don’t know the spot price. YML Refinery does nothing but precious metals — for 25 years.
We use a calibrated XRF analyzer to verify exact gold purity (10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K). Every offer is based on the live spot price shown to you at the counter, with the math visible. Most customers receive 85–95% of melt value.

Common Questions
What Sellers Ask Us
It depends on purity and weight. We pay based on live gold spot price and exact purity verified by XRF analyzer. A 14K gold ring is 58.3% pure gold; we calculate: spot price × purity × weight = melt value, then pay you 85–95% of that. Pawn shops typically pay 40–60%. Call (623) 974-3772 for a phone estimate.
We buy all gold: jewelry (rings, chains, bracelets, earrings), gold coins (American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, pre-1933 US gold), gold bars and rounds, dental gold, gold scrap, and gold flatware. Any karat, any condition.
No appointment needed. Walk in Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm at 11115 Grand Ave #4, Youngtown, AZ 85363. Most transactions take 15–30 minutes. For large collections, call (623) 974-3772 ahead to set aside enough time.
Three reasons: equipment, expertise, and focus. Our XRF analyzer gives exact purity — pawn shops acid test, which is less accurate and can damage pieces. We’ve been buying gold exclusively for 25 years — pawn shops do 50 other things. And we pay 85–95% of melt value vs. 40–60% at pawn shops.
