Sell Gold Near Peru, IL
We Buy Gold is roughly a 70-minute drive from Peru, by way of I-80 and Route 71, at 1335 Douglas Ave, Ste G in Montgomery. If you can make the trip, walking in is the quickest way to sell: each piece is checked with you at the counter, and payment comes the same visit. If you'd rather not, you can sell that same gold through the mail without leaving home, and this page explains exactly how it works before you send a thing.

How selling by mail works, step by step
If the drive from Peru doesn't fit your week, here is exactly what happens when you sell by mail:
- Request your free kit. Pick the format that suits you: a print kit to download and mail today, an email kit sent to your inbox to print at home, or a physical kit mailed to your door.
- Pack your gold. Put your pieces in the package as they are. No cleaning or sorting needed.
- Ship it, protected. Your package goes out with prepaid, protected shipping, so there's nothing to pay when you drop it off.
- We test it on arrival. Every item is checked for purity and weighed, then grouped by karat.
- Your offer arrives. It lists each karat group with its weight and value.
- You decide. Accept, and we send your payment. Decline, and we ship everything back without charging you.

Prefer to see it in person?
If you'd rather see the testing with your own eyes, that's exactly what the store is for. Visiting takes a drive, but you'll see every piece tested, get your offer on the spot and leave paid that day. Bring your gold jewelry as it is. Unsorted is fine. Selling a larger collection? Call (630) 593-3510 beforehand so we can hold private time for your visit.
Driving from Peru
From 4th St and Peoria St, take Peoria St north out of town and pick up US-6 heading east, then join I-80 east. Ride I-80 to exit 93 and get on Route 71 going east. Once you reach Oswego, the last few moves are a left on Orchard Rd, a right onto the US-30 east ramp, the exit for Douglas Rd, and a left onto Douglas Ave, with the store on your left.
