Gold Stash Review

*These reviews are based on our personal experiences with the individual cash for gold companies and our rating reflects our feelings regarding our transactions with them. Your experience with the gold refiner/dealer may fare better or worse. But we always try to give the most accurate representation of what you are likely to find.

It is always a good idea to do your own research and find the company that works for you. We do these reviews because it is important for anyone looking to sell their gold to understand that very few online gold buyers will actually give you what your gold is worth. You would be surprised how many cash for gold businesses payout less than half the current price of gold. And not everyone has the time to properly look through and research the hundreds of gold buyers that are out there today. We hope these reviews will give you an idea of what to expect and will help you to make a wise decision.

Overall:
Gold Stash is another company that claims to be the nation’s #1, and tries to persuade you with a flashy website. The business started in 1989, but has only been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since late 2008. Gold stash has received an A+ from the BBB, and has only received 4 complaints in the past 3 years; all were resolved.
Right on their homepage they make a claim to have the “Industies Highest Payouts,” but after testing them it was clear that they did not**.** Gold stash doesn’t provide a pricing chart on their website, which is usually a sign that they don’t offer as high payouts as some other gold buyers. They offer to buy diamonds, gold, silver, platinum, coins, and they also offer gold party services.
A company that doesn’t provide a pricing chart and only has a 14-day return policy can be a nightmare when selling your gold. If you elect the fast cash option, you waive your 14-day return. You will most likely be disappointed in the amount they will offer for your gold, but you have to return the check almost immediately to ensure you get your gold back. They do provide free shipping and cover up to $1000 shipping insurance.
After doing our research we decided to send in about $813 worth of gold, and were disappointed with the number on the check they sent back. They only offered us around $480 which is less than 60% of the gold’s value. We opted to use the standard payment option so we were able to receive our money back. Ultimately, we were quite disappointed with Gold Stash which is just another gold buyer that is primarily after the highest profits for themselves.
