Sell Platinum
Platinum is in demand!
Platinum is one of the rarest precious metals on earth—used in fine jewelry, luxury watches, labware, and advanced clean-energy tech. Global reports show the platinum market has been running in multi-year deficits (demand outpacing supply), while South Africa—the top producer—has faced production cuts.

Platinum: Questions & Answers
Is now a good time to sell or pawn platinum?
Platinum supply has been tight in recent years while demand from jewelry and clean-energy tech remains solid. Tight markets tend to support stronger wholesale pricing—which is good for sellers and for borrowers using platinum as collateral.
Bottom line: if you’ve been waiting for favorable conditions, this is a strong window.
Should I sell my platinum or get a collateral loan?
Selling usually pays the most upfront. Pawning (a collateral loan) is best when you want fast cash without giving up ownership—you can redeem later by paying back the principal and service charges.
We’ll show you both numbers so you can decide on the spot.
How do you test platinum and determine purity?
We verify hallmarks (PT950/PT900/PT999) and confirm with non-destructive methods like XRF analysis, magnet checks, and precise weighing. For complex pieces we may use specific-gravity checks. Everything happens in front of you.
What affects my payout or loan amount?
- Purity & weight (PT950 vs PT900, etc.).
- Live spot price at the time of the quote.
- Brand & condition (Cartier, Tiffany, Rolex cases/bezels).
- Documentation (boxes, receipts, grading) and market demand.
- Stones: diamonds/gems are quoted separately—you can sell or keep them.
Do you buy industrial platinum (labware, thermocouple wire, scrap)?
Yes—professionally acquired labware, wire, and clean industrial scrap are welcome. Bring any assay, invoices, or chain-of-ownership documents to speed things up.
How are quotes calculated?
Pure weight (ozt) × live spot price × our transparent payout rate. Our website’s Live Estimator shows a ballpark; in-store testing finalizes the number.
How fast is the process and how do I get paid?
Most visits take 10–15 minutes. After testing and paperwork, we pay immediately—cash or bank transfer. Pawn redemptions are just as quick.
What should I bring with me?
- Government-issued ID (required for pawn/sell transactions).
- Any boxes, receipts, appraisals, or grading certificates.
- Accessories (links, spare parts) for watches or multi-piece items.
