What is the JTV Gold Exchange?

JTV felt strongly that its customers who wanted to sell their unwanted gold and platinum needed a place to go where they could trust the outcome. JTV listened to its customers and the result is JTV Gold Exchange .

What types of gold does the JTV Gold Exchange accept?

The JTV Gold Exchange accepts all gold: 10, 14, 18, 22 and 24 karat or European equivalent, and all platinum. JTV Gold Exchange will also buy personal accessories, including chains, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, charms, lockets, rings, class rings, toe rings, earrings, pins, brooches, cufflinks, tie bars and tacks, money clips, key chains, 16kt dental gold, damaged and broken jewelry, Kinked, knotted & tangled chains, broken links, loose clasps, loose findings, single earrings, and loose earring backs.

What items are not eligible for exchange?

Diamonds, pearls or any other gemstones that are set in your gold or platinum items are not eligible for exchange. Please have all stones removed before sending them. We do not accept any items that are considered to be investment metals (gold bars, coins, ingots, or bullion). In addition, we do not take any timepieces or silver items. Additionally, we don't accept items which contain price tickets or other manufacturing tags or tickets.

How does JTV Gold Exchange determine how much to pay for gold?

JTV Gold Exchange pays for gold based on pennyweight. Gold is usually tracked and sold internationally on a per ounce basis but since most jewelry items weigh far less than an ounce, two smaller measurement terms are used in our industry: grams and pennyweights. Our price will change daily based on the PM London Gold Fix on the business day the packet is received.

Does JTV Gold Exchange offer a satisfaction guarantee?

Over 38,000 customers have trusted JTV Gold Exchange to process over $17 million of their gold. To ensure you are happy with the offering price, you must see and accept it before payment is made. If you decide not to sell your gold and platinum, we will return it free of charge.

Why should I sell my unwanted gold and platinum?

There has never been a better time to sell your unwanted or broken gold or platinum items. Gold prices have recently hit very high levels, and the market continues to stay strong. The price of platinum has also increased dramatically.

How much gold jewelry and other items can I send?

JTV Gold Exchange will purchase any amount of gold or platinum jewelry you wish to sell up to $2,500 per shipment. If you believe your items are valued at over $500.00, please call for special insurance and shipping arrangements. In addition if you have more items than the supplied bag will hold or if the items you are submitting are large and bulky, please call us at 1-800-913-8113.

JTV Gold Exchange Program Terms & Conditions

Welcome to jtvgold.com, the website for the JTV Gold ExchangeSM Program! These terms and conditions are between MCG Interactive, Inc. (“MCG” or “We” or “Us”) and you. MCG is a sister company to America’s Collectibles Network, Inc. which does business as JTV® and Jewelry Television® (“ACN” and/or “JTV”). These Program Terms and Conditions and these Website Terms and Conditions are effective as of July 21, 2009.

1. Overview of the Program. We purchase items made of gold and platinum (the "Items") for refining. In these Program Terms and Conditions, we use the word "Metals" to refer to platinum or gold. After refining, your Items will be melted, and the Metals will be resold. The amount paid for your Items is based upon two things: (1) the total weight and purity or karat grade (pure precious metal content) of the Metals contained in your Items, and (2) the market value of the Metals according to the current London Fix (the price set during two daily bidding sessions in London).

2. What We Don’t Buy. We don’t accept silver in any form or items that are only plated with the Metals. You will not be paid for any stones in your items. We only pay for the gold or platinum itself. If there are stones in your items that you want to keep, you should remove them prior to sending in the packet. The stones will not be returned to you if you decide to sell your precious metals. We don’t accept Items which contain price tickets or other manufacturing tags or tickets. We also don’t accept investment metals (e.g., gold coins, bars, bullion, ingots) or timepieces (e.g., watches, pocket watches). To ensure you get the best possible price for these items, We recommend you visit another reputable source. We reserve the right to decline to purchase your Items for any reason at our sole discretion, including without limitation, declining to purchase those Items that contain insignificant amounts of the Metals or are otherwise of no value. If we don’t purchase your Items, We’ll return them to you at no cost to you.

Although we will generally buy Metals in any amount you wish to send, we have certain limitations:

•   No single shipment can exceed $2,500 in payout value;
•   During any calendar year, we will not make payouts to any single address that exceed $7,500; and
•   During any calendar year, we will not accept more than four packages from any single address.

The above limitations may be modified if you provide a copy of government issued identification bearing your photograph.

For questions or for Customer Service, you may contact Us via email at jtvgold@jtv.com or by telephone at 1-800-913-8113. As We discuss more fully below, you can communicate with Us about the Program through either email or by telephone.

3. Requirements to Participate in the Program. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age in order to sell Items containing Metals to Us. You must also be the legal owner of any and all Items that are sold or that you attempt to sell to Us. Selling on behalf of others isn’t permitted, either as an agent or as a representative of any other person or company. We may request documentation concerning your age or ownership, and decline to purchase your Items if We do not receive such documentation in a reasonable time. By shipping your Items to Us, you’re representing that you are the legal owner of them, that you have the authority to sell them and that you accept all terms and conditions set forth herein. These terms and conditions are subject to change. You understand this, and by participating in the Program, you agree to it.

We will send you emails, if provided, when We ship your Packet to you and when We receive your Packet from you.

Evaluation and Offers. After We receive your Items and evaluate them, We’ll send you a response by email within two (2) business days (excluding holidays). If We decide your Items are appropriate for purchase, We’ll make an offer (the "Offer") to you, either by email or in a recorded telephone conversation, to purchase the Items based upon the PM London Gold Fix and the PM London Platinum Fix on the business day the packet is received. As part of the Offer, you’ll be able to watch a video of your Items being unpacked and weighed.

We will not finalize the processing of your Items until 12 days after Your Acceptance of Our Offer. We call this our "Hold Period." By cashing, negotiating or depositing the check for the Items, you agree to waive the Hold Period. From time to time, we may offer bonus payments to those who accept certain Offers ("Bonus Payment"). Bonus Payments may take a variety of forms, such as checks or gift cards. By utilizing a Bonus Payment (e.g. cashing a bonus check or using a gift card), you agree to waive the Hold Period.

6. Proper Shipment. We reserve the right to reject delivery of any Packet, mail, envelope or package which appears to be damaged, opened, or tampered-with and any such Packet, mail, envelope or package will be returned to you at no charge. We won’t have any liability to you for any such items contained in any such attempted delivery or in return of any such Items.

7. Insurance Limitations on Shipped Items. If you use the prepaid shipping envelope in your Packet, your items will be insured with the carrier for a maximum value of five hundred dollars ($500). It’s your responsibility to have the carrier electronically scan the prepaid envelope into its tracking system to ensure that the carrier accepted possession of the envelope. If you think your Items are worth more than $500, We recommend that you contact Us for further instructions. Any Items returned to you will be insured for $500 or the amount of the Offer if the Offer exceeds $500. We will, in our sole discretion, choose the return carrier and receipt-verification method, if any, for each transaction. You agree that your sole remedy for losses that occur during shipment is to process a claim with the carrier.

8. If you change your mind. During the Hold Period or until you cash, negotiate or deposit the check for the Items or until you utilize a Bonus Payment (as discussed above), you can change your mind, revoke your Acceptance, and ask for your Items back. After your Acceptance, any revocation of Acceptance and request for your Items back ("Revocation Request") must be in writing and received by JTV Gold ExchangeSM, together with the check for the Items, within the 12-day Hold Period. The address for JTV Gold ExchangeSM is Processing Center, 500 Quality Boulevard, Fairfield, Ohio 45014. To make certain that we know the Revocation Request is coming, We suggest that you notify Customer Service at 1-800-913-8113. We’ll ship your Items back to you at no additional charge. By cashing, negotiating or depositing the check for the Items, you waive your right to a hold period.
