Beck Gold and Diamond Brokers is a top choice if you want a no-fuss approach to selling gold. With helpful staff in the store, they help you score the best prices for your gold. In fact, they usually purchase gold bullion at 95% of the spot price.
In addition, they don’t have any hidden shipping and transfer fees (which you’ll most likely find in other stores). Purchases can be made in cash or by e-transfer, which is convenient for most sellers.
Apart from gold, they also buy silver, diamonds, and platinum—and yes, they even sell those. So, this is the place to be if you want a one-stop shop for all your precious metals.

Want to get the best value for your gold? What’s great about Aaron Buys Gold is that they use live market prices when buying (and selling) their metals.
These prices are updated every 15 minutes, which is a significant advantage over other shops that may be using week-old data for their buying rates (just saying!).
You don’t need to set an appointment here—simply walk in, and you’ll be accommodated. Once you’re there, they’ll test your gold with an X-ray for accurate assessments of its actual value.
The location is super accessible, being near the Anthony Henday and Sherwood Park Freeways. The shop feels secure and safe, with an upscale feel that tells you they’re serious about gold!

Loan Star Jewellery Exchange is more of your brick-and-mortar pawnshop. They’re old-school, focusing on more traditional exchanges for various items (electronics, jewelry, etc.) But what matters most is their fair prices for the pieces they buy.
Since the place acts more on retail, they only accept gold jewelry pieces. They’ll appraise your piece so you can get a fair price on what you’re bringing (that said, though, it may be impossible to come here and sell pieces in bulk and bullion).
If you’re ever too busy to visit, you can download their mobile app. This is a nice way to explore their inventory without spending hours at the store.
