How does Zerin Gold calculate the buy-in price?

Three factors set the price: the live gold spot rate of the day, the karat / fineness (333, 585, 750, 916, 999) and the weight in grams. We then deduct an openly stated margin. You can see the current per-gram price on the Prices page at any time.

What items does Zerin Gold buy?

We buy scrap and broken gold of every kind: rings, chains, bracelets, earrings, pendants, watches with gold cases, dental gold, gold bars and investment coins (Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, Vienna Philharmonic etc.). We also buy silver, platinum and palladium.

Is the valuation free?

Yes. Appraisal and valuation of your pieces in our shop in Freiburg are always free of charge and non-binding.

How fast do I get paid?

Usually on the spot. After in-person appraisal you receive the agreed amount directly — in cash or by bank transfer to your account.

Do I need to bring ID?

Yes. Under German anti-money-laundering law we are required to verify a valid photo ID (passport or national ID card) for any precious-metal purchase.

How the buy-in works

Fair gold buying in Freiburg — transparent and instant

At Zerin Gold we buy old gold, dental gold, scrap gold, jewellery and investment coins at the daily gold price. You bring your pieces to our shop in Freiburg, we verify them in front of you, determine karat and weight and quote a fixed price within minutes — free and without obligation.

The buying price is based on three factors: the current spot gold price, the fineness of your piece (333, 585, 750, 916 or 999) and the weight in grams. From this we deduct an openly stated margin that covers testing, processing and market risk. If you agree, you receive the amount instantly — in cash or by transfer.
