Sell Gold and Jewelry in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Nicholas Estate Buyers buys gold jewelry, coins and sterling from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sellers, either at the store on East Oakland Park Boulevard or through a remote quote by phone or email.

Selling gold from a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condo
If you are clearing a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condo, whether a unit on North Ocean Boulevard or El Mar Drive or an apartment off Commercial Boulevard, the gold often turns up last, and the family doing the clearing may live out of state with a week to empty the place.
Nicholas Estate Buyers works around that timeline. Call (786) 281-1287 or email photos and a description first, and you will hear what the gold is likely to bring before anyone drives over. If the visit has to fit around movers or a closing date, plan it for Tuesday to Saturday, since the store is closed Sunday and Monday.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a gold quote without coming in?
Yes. Nicholas Estate Buyers gives remote quotes by phone or email, based on photos, karat stamps and approximate weight. The final offer is confirmed once the gold is tested and weighed, either at the store or through insured ship-in.
Can I sell gold for a parent who lived in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Yes, family members often sell gold on behalf of a parent. Call (786) 281-1287 before the visit to confirm what identification and paperwork to bring.
Do I need to sort the gold before I bring it?
No. Bring the jewelry box as it is. The gemologist sorts it by karat, sets aside anything that is not gold, and tests the unmarked pieces in front of you.
How is the price of gold set?
Gold is priced by its weight and karat against the spot market on the day of the sale. A 14K piece is 58.3 percent gold, so it is priced on that pure gold content.
