We Pay Top Dollar
for Your Gold
Port City Exchange offers the highest gold prices available to the general public — rates typically reserved for jewelers and industry insiders. No games, no lowball offers.
Most pawn shops and jewelry stores offer 40–60% of spot price. We believe the public deserves better — so we offer rates that rival what industry insiders receive.
With decades of combined experience in gold, jewelry, auctions, and estates, our owners bring insider knowledge directly to you — no pressure, no gimmicks, just a fair and honest offer every time.

Meet the Owners
James has spent decades immersed in the world of fine jewelry and gold. His expertise covers everything from evaluating raw gold and scrap to appraising finished pieces, giving him a precise and practiced eye for what gold is truly worth. James founded Port City Exchange on a simple belief: that everyday people deserve the same fair gold prices that have long been reserved for those inside the industry.
Chuck brings decades of hands-on experience in gold buying, auctions, and estate liquidation. He has worked through countless estate sales and auction transactions, developing a deep understanding of precious metal markets and the real-world value of gold in all its forms. Chuck’s background means Port City Exchange customers always receive a knowledgeable, no-nonsense assessment — and a top-dollar offer to match.
We started Port City Exchange because we saw how much money people were leaving on the table. Years in the gold and jewelry business showed us that the public was routinely offered a fraction of what their gold was actually worth. We decided to change that — and bring honest, industry-level prices to Wilmington.
