The professional jewelers at Ralph Mueller & Associates have been reputable gold buyers in Phoenix for a combined total of more than 60 years. As Phoenix gold buyers with this much longevity, we're always still surprised to learn that so many people are unaware that they can get a lot of money in exchange for their fine quality gold pieces, as well as their scrap gold odds and ends. Many of our customers are retirees who are in the midst of downsizing their homes and clearing out the clutter that has accumulated over several generations and we encourage them to mine for unused gold pieces in the process.

Recently, a retired gentleman came to our Scottsdale office with an old banged up, tarnished gold pocket watch that had previously belonged to his father. His wife had found the watch in a box of old junk that had moved with them from their prior home. They couldn't find any legible markings on the watch that indicated that it was 'real gold', like a 14k or 18k marking, so they assumed it wasn't real gold and not worth anything, but their daughter encouraged them to at least find out if it had value before they discarded it along with their other old baubles and trinkets. She advised her parents to bring the watch to someone experienced in buying gold in Phoenix and not to one of the 'quick cash for gold' places in the city.

The gentleman eventually found Ralph Mueller & Associates through a friend who had initially located us online and brought in a bunch of scrap gold chains, charms and gold coins to us about a year before for cash. Being satisfied that we were established and well-respected gold buyers in Phoenix, our customer brought us the watch along with some other outdated gold jewelry that his wife no longer wanted. He was completely shocked to find out that the watch was indeed made of real solid gold - and delighted to receive top dollar for the watch, as well as his pile of scrap gold.
