LV Second Hand dealers purchase second hand jewelry on two levels. First level is the second hand dealer buys with the intent of scrapping the item out for metal value. Metal value is determined by a few things. First thing to determine is what kind of metal i.e. gold, silver, and platinum or palladium. After the metal has been determined purity is the next big step that needs to be done. Gold can be 10kt, 14kt, 18kt, and 22kt but overseas there is a slight variance and you can see 8kt, 9kt, 21kt, and pure gold. Silver can be 90% pure or 92.5% pure and in some rare instances 80 percent or pure silver 99.9%. Platinum has only a few variances from 90% to 95% and not so often pure platinum 99.9%.
