How to Sell Gold in Sri Lanka for the Best Price
1. Know what you are selling
Separate items by karat if you can (22K, 21K, 18K). Remove stones you want to keep — most buyers weigh only the gold, but stones can complicate the calculation.
2. Check today's rate
Look up the current 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K rates on our Gold Rate Today page so you walk in with a realistic price expectation.
3. Choose a licensed, transparent buyer
Only sell to a licensed dealer who tests in front of you using an XRF scanner or acid test on a touchstone — no back-room tests.
4. Watch the weighing and testing
Every gram matters. The scale should be certified and visible; the test result should be shown on screen or paper before any offer is made.
5. Understand the offer
A fair offer is the day's rate for that exact karat, minus a small transparent processing margin. Ask for the breakdown in writing.
6. Get paid instantly
At Ran Lanka Mount Lavinia you receive instant cash or same-day bank transfer once you accept the offer. Call 011 753 7333 before you come.
