Buying and selling gold in Dallas
The spot price is the same in Dallas as anywhere. Gold trades worldwide in US dollars, so what changes from shop to shop is the markup. Dealers sell coins and bars for spot plus a premium, and buy them back at or a little under spot. Jewelers and pawn shops usually pay well under melt value for jewelry and scrap.
- No sales tax on bullion: Texas doesn’t charge sales tax on gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion and coins. Jewelry is taxed, at 8.25% in the city of Dallas.
- Get more than one quote when you sell. Know the melt value first (the calculator above), and ask each buyer for their price per gram or per ounce, not just a total.
- Bring a photo ID. Gold buyers keep records of who they buy from.
- Storage: besides a home safe or a bank box, Texas runs its own gold vault, the Texas Bullion Depository in Leander, near Austin, where individuals can open accounts.
- Market hours in Central Time: gold trades from Sunday at 5:00 PM to Friday at 4:00 PM CT, with a break each day from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. Big US reports come out at 7:30 AM CT, and gold often jumps within seconds.
