What We Buy
Longhorn Gold and Silver Exchange buys many forms of gold, including wearable pieces, investment gold, damaged items, and gold that no longer serves a purpose in your home. You do not need to sort everything perfectly before you visit. Bring in what you have, and we can separate and evaluate the pieces in person.
We also evaluate mixed lots. If you have a box with old jewelry, single earrings, damaged clasps, class rings, estate pieces, or gold items you are unsure about, bring them with you. Our team can help identify which pieces contain gold and explain how those items affect your cash offer.
How the Process Works
1. Bring your gold to our McKinney store
Visit Longhorn Gold and Silver Exchange during regular business hours. You do not need an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM and Sunday from 12PM to 5PM. Bring any gold items you want evaluated, even if they are broken, outdated, or missing stones.
2. Get a free in-store evaluation
We examine your items in front of you using professional testing equipment. The evaluation may include checking karat markings, testing purity, weighing the gold, and reviewing the current market rate. We explain the process in clear terms so you understand what you brought in and how the offer is calculated.
3. Review your cash offer
After the evaluation, we give you a fair market offer. There is no obligation to sell. If you accept, you receive cash the same day. If you decide not to sell, you can take your items with you. The choice stays with you from start to finish.
How We Determine Your Offer
A gold offer depends on three main factors: karat, weight, and the current gold market rate. Karat measures gold purity. For example, 10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K gold each contain different percentages of gold. A higher karat item usually contains more gold by weight, but the total value also depends on how much the item weighs.
At our McKinney store, we use professional testing equipment to help confirm gold content. This matters because markings can be worn, missing, or inaccurate, especially on older jewelry or damaged pieces. Testing helps us identify what type of gold you have before we calculate an offer.
Weight also plays a major role. After separating items by karat when needed, we weigh the gold and apply the current market rate. Gold prices change, so the offer reflects market conditions at the time of your visit. Some items may also need special handling, such as dental gold, flatware, coins, or bullion.
Why Choose Local
Selling gold in person gives many sellers more control and confidence. You can speak directly with a local buyer, watch the evaluation, ask questions, and decide on the spot. You do not have to mail valuable items away, wait for shipping updates, or wonder when your items will be reviewed.
An in-store sale also gives you faster payment. At Longhorn Gold and Silver Exchange, accepted offers are paid the same day in cash. That can be useful when you want a quick transaction without waiting on checks, transfers, or return shipping.
Local selling also helps when you have mixed or unusual items. Broken jewelry, dental gold, scrap gold, flatware, and inherited pieces can be hard to judge on your own. In person, we can inspect each item and explain what has value. You can keep anything you do not want to sell.
