Meet our founder – Steven Madar.
Since 2007 he has built two 5 Star rated Jewelry buying companies in Global Gold & Silver and TruVal.
“After personally helping thousands of people sell their valuables in New York City, I witnessed first hand how consumers were taken advantage of by buyers who never published their prices and forced sellers to negotiate for a fair deal. That’s why I created GoldVara.”
GoldVara is the first buyer that publish it’s payout prices and puts you in total control with a modern and transparent online selling process.
Because appraisal values aren’t meant for resale—they’re meant for insurance claims and retail replacement. Simply put, those inflated numbers don’t reflect what you’ll actually get when selling.
While most gold jewelry sells strictly for metal value, brand-name luxury pieces (think Cartier or Tiffany) do have higher resale value, based on secondhand market demand.
At GoldVara, we skip the inflated appraisal game entirely. You get straightforward pricing based on today’s real gold prices or accurate secondhand market values for luxury brands—no fantasy numbers, just real cash in your pocket.
The #1 thing you need to know? Exactly how much they’re going to pay you.
Too many gold buyers keep their pricing formulas locked away—like it’s a state secret. If you don’t know the purity of your gold, the weight, or today’s market price, you’re flying blind and vulnerable to lowball offers. Don’t fall into that trap.
Before mailing anything, demand clear, upfront prices. You deserve to know how your payout is calculated—down to the gram and karat. At GoldVara, our math isn’t magic: we publish real payout rates daily, with clear breakdowns of every single item. No secrets, no surprises, just straight numbers.
