Every day, people in Trichy walk into gold buying shops and unknowingly lose hundreds sometimes thousands of rupees, simply because they did not know what to watch out for.
If you are planning to sell your old gold, this guide is for you. Here are the 5 most common mistakes gold sellers make in Trichy and exactly how to avoid them.
Mistake 1 — Not Checking the Gold Rate Before You Go
Many sellers walk into a shop without knowing today’s gold rate. This is the biggest mistake.
When you do not know the current rate, you have no way to verify whether the price being offered is fair or not. A buyer can quote you ₹500–₹1,000 less per gram and you would have no way of knowing.
What to do instead: Check the approximate 22KT gold rate for the day before you leave home. You can refer to the daily bullion rate or visit our rate guide to understand how selling prices are calculated.
At Best Gold Company, the rate is updated every single day and clearly explained to you before any transaction begins.
Mistake 2 — Allowing Testing to Happen Out of Your Sight
This is where most sellers get cheated — and they never even realise it.
If a gold buyer takes your jewellery to a back room for testing, there is no way for you to verify what actually happened. Weight, purity, even the pieces themselves — everything can be manipulated when testing is done away from you.
What to do instead: Always insist that the purity test happens right in front of your eyes. A trustworthy buyer will never hesitate.
At Best Gold Company, all testing is done using XRF technology — face to face, in front of the customer. Every reading is shown to you directly.
Mistake 3 — Not Asking About Hidden Deductions
The rate looks good. You agree. Then the final amount is much lower than expected. What happened?
Hidden deductions. Many buyers cut making charges, melting fees, or testing charges after quoting you a rate. These deductions can reduce your payout by 5% to 15% — on 20 grams of gold, that is easily ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 lost silently.
What to do instead: Before agreeing to anything, ask clearly:
- “Are there any deductions from this rate?”
- “What is the final amount I will receive?”
At Best Gold Company, the price calculation is fully transparent weight × purity × market rate, with zero hidden cuts. What is quoted is what you receive.
Mistake 4 — Choosing the Nearest Shop Instead of the Most Trusted One
Convenience should never come at the cost of your hard-earned gold’s value. Many people walk into the nearest shop without checking whether the buyer is experienced, licensed, or trustworthy.
An unlicensed or inexperienced buyer may use inaccurate weighing machines, outdated rates, or unreliable purity testing — all of which reduce the amount you receive.
What to do instead: Choose a trusted gold buyer with a strong reputation, licensed operations, and advanced testing equipment. Experience matters. A buyer who has served thousands of customers over decades will always give you more confidence and a better deal.
Best Gold Company has been operating in Thillainagar, Tiruchirappalli for over 60 years — with thousands of satisfied customers across Tennur, Srirangam, and all of Trichy.
Mistake 5 — Going Without a Valid ID
Many sellers arrive without a photo ID and are turned away or asked to return later. This wastes your time and can delay the cash you need urgently.
As per RBI guidelines, all gold purchase transactions above a certain value require a valid government-issued ID for verification. This is not optional it is a legal requirement designed to protect both the seller and the buyer.
What to carry:
- Aadhaar Card
- PAN Card
- Voter ID
- Driving Licence
Bring any one of these and your transaction at Best Gold Company will be completed smoothly and legally, without any delays.
