Anyone tried them, might be good for posting off a small amount of fine stuff.

Would love to know if you guys have had any experience with selling to any of these?
The Gold Room has a good rep.

Anyone know of a good place in Reefton or Murchison to sell gold?

Obviously the best way to make your money is by selling on trademe & or smelting your own as demonstrated by 1864 Hatter

There is a gold buyer operates from Hydraulink in Greymouth. Most small scale operators round here seem to use him.

A friend of mine has sold to The Gold Room in Hokitika when I've been with him. Gave a great price and was very friendly. Probably better for selling nuggets that he can use in jewelry.

Yes, I've heard they are reputable.
I wish to test each of these places to see prices.
And update top post to show how other forum members have found them.
