GoldFellow Review
| by Zachary Callahan
*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:
We learned about this relative new comer to online gold buying game recently and just had to try them since they claim to have the best payouts in the business. GoldFellow has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau with no outstanding complaints.
We found Gold Fellow to be fairly similar to Empire Gold Buyers in their pricing structure (except much lower) and shipping practices. Which means that they offer free FedEx shipping but their pricing scale goes from 56% to 77% instead of starting above 90% and going all the way up to 98% like Empire Gold Buyers. Also GoldFellow doesn’t offer as much shipping insurance (up to $1000) and their pay scale doesn’t go as high as for large volume customers.
We liked that you could view their offer as soon as they received your gold by logging onto their site. And because they use Federal Express shipping you can track your package along the way.
Overall we did like Gold Fellow quite a bit. If their pay scale was higher and we hadn’t already found better refiners, we would use them again.
