Traveling buyers are set up at three Oahu locations paying cash on the spot for gold, silver, and jewelry, which is good for people sitting on unused valuables while metal prices are high.

• Buyers are taking old jewelry, coins, sterling silver, diamonds, and watches, and paying immediately.
• Turnout has been steady, with many repeat sellers, and a typical visit takes about 15 minutes.
• Even items people assume are fake are worth bringing in, since anything with gold or silver content has value.
• Buyers flown in from London, New York, and Miami are handling appraisals, and will tell sellers to hold an item if the market for it is weak.
• Events are running at the Ala Moana Hotel, a country club location for two days, and Embassy Suites Kapolei for four days, with walk-ins accepted.

Outlook: These buying events run on a monthly cycle, so more chances to sell should follow, with payouts tracking wherever gold and silver prices go next.
