Precious metals · MVP Pawn Shop
Gold. Silver.
A closer look.
Bring your precious metal items to West Miami for an in-person evaluation. Start with the piece itself.
Know what you’re bringing
Every piece has
its own details.
Gold items
Note visible karat markings and tell the team about stones, mixed materials or repairs you know of.
Silver items
Bring the actual piece. A visible mark can help the conversation, but does not replace an evaluation.
Understanding an evaluation
Ask how the
value is reached.
Market prices change. The amount discussed for your item depends on the item and the store’s evaluation.
- Material
- How is the metal content assessed?
- Weight
- Which weight is being used, and in what unit?
- Other elements
- How are stones or non-metal components treated?
- The offer
- What amount is being proposed for this transaction?

Gold & silver questions
Details before decisions.
Is a stamped karat or 925 mark enough?+
A marking is useful context. Ask how the actual item will be evaluated rather than treating a stamp as the complete assessment.
Will the offer match a market price I found online?+
An online metal price is not an offer for your particular item. Ask how the material, weight and transaction are reflected in the amount proposed.
Can I ask about a loan instead of selling?+
Yes, ask the team whether your item can be considered for a pawn loan. Review the full written agreement, charges and redemption terms before deciding.
