The process at a glance
How does selling gold in Chalandri work?
Bring your items to our shop at Leof. Pentelis 29. Weighing and appraisal happen in front of you, we show you the calculation using the buying prices published on our site, and if you agree you are paid immediately.
Does the appraisal cost anything?
No. Appraisal is always free and carries no obligation to sell, whether it happens at the shop or online with photos.
What do I need in order to sell gold?
Only your police ID card or passport. Greek law requires it for every precious-metals transaction.
How do I know I'm getting a fair price for my gold?
Our buying prices per karat are published on our site and follow the international gold price. Weighing and testing happen in front of you, and the amount is worked out from that same table.
Do you buy broken or old jewelry?
Yes. The value of the gold is never lost: broken, outdated or incomplete jewelry is bought normally based on karat and weight.
Is the online appraisal binding?
The online appraisal is a first impression based on photos. The final offer is made at the shop, with weighing and testing in front of you.
The same buying prices in two shops
We buy at the same price list in Nea Ionia, Eleftheriou Venizelou 17, and in Chalandri, Leof. Pentelis 29. Visit whichever shop suits you.
One key question for every item
How much do you pay for a gold sovereign today?
Our offer is based on the live gold price at the moment of the transaction. See the indicative value on our site and call us for an exact quote. The price that applies is always the one at the moment you visit the shop.
Do you pay the gold value or the jewelry value?
Plain jewelry is bought at the per-karat prices on our site, multiplied by its net weight. Designer or collectible pieces are appraised separately and often higher.
Do you buy coins other than sovereigns?
Yes, gold coins from every country and era, from common bullion coins to rare collectibles.
Do you pay the silver value or the object's value?
Ordinary silverware is bought based on weight, purity grade and the silver price. Handmade or branded pieces are appraised separately as objects.
What determines the price of my watch?
Brand, model/reference number, condition, function and the completeness of the set (box, papers). We explain the appraisal in detail.
Will I be paid for the stones or only for the gold?
For both. Diamonds and precious stones are appraised separately and added to the offer for the metal.
