Where to sell gold?

So I've decided to buy myself a new detector and figure I'll just sell some gold to make the purchase. Now where to sell?

First I thought of the pawn shop because I used to sell all my gold there years ago. Before that I used to sell it to Jess down at the coin shop on Wyatt Earp. I take 80 grams of gold, 40gms 10k(market value $479.37) and 40gms 14k(market value $661.51) knowing I'm not going to get near market value, but holy crap! He offered me $285. WTF?

Well needless to say he can kiss my rosy red pattoot. So does anyone know a place that buys gold locally at a fair price?

Here is a picture.

What about those "We buy gold" commercials on TV? You might give them a call and see what their going rate is.

Don't come to a battle of wits completely unarmed.

There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. Miss that, though, and you're pretty much doomed.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

You could melt it down and form it into teeth and sell it to the HomeSlices.

Or how about listing each item on e-bay and see if you can get more value that way? You can do a short auction with a reserve price.

Can you just melt it down to bulk gold and then sell it to a jewler in a jewelry store that makes his own designs or to repair other gold jewelry?
