I've sold gold at Westlake Gold a couple times, and the experience has always been top notch. Unlike some less scrupulous precious metal buyers, Westlake will give you fair value for the metals you bring in. This is my go to and I highly recommend anyone to make this their first stop when selling gold or silver

Westlake Gold is the best in the area, it was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Nikki was very helpful, very professional, considerate and nice. They are an honest business, have current equipment and pay a very fair price. Just to put it in a perspective, they paid me 5 times more than another place in Westlake, that keeps sending flyers. There was no hassle and their check cleared overnight. I will definitely use their services again.

Had a silver medallioin which Westlake Gold evaluated for authenticity using 3 different instruments. The daily silver strike price was updated continuously on the display board which took any guess work out of the discussion. Just previously I had the medallion appraised by another silver/gold shop which greatly undercut the price. I feel I got a fair price at Westlake Gold where I was offered 12% below the strike price. The other gold/silver shop offered me 29% below the strike---adios to them. I feel you will get a good evaluation of your asset and a fair deal at Westlake Gold.

This was my first time at this business selling my gold and I gotta say that Joel knows his stuff and he’s been in the business for a while. He treated me with respect and courtesy, and he gave me honestly the best pricing for a gold dealer of all of LA County and I’ve been in the business myself as well for a little bit so his pricing is extremely competitive. He explained the process very easily, tested all my pieces and gave me prompt payment. I’m going to be doing business with him more and bringing him a lot of more customers. I really appreciate him. :) 5/5 stars totally recommend Baron
