Midwest Refineries – Precious Metal Refiners & Gold Buyers
From Highland Park estate jewelry to Design District workshops, Dallas has plenty of gold changing hands every year. Midwest Refineries has bought and refined precious metals since 1939, and we’re proud to give Dallas sellers a transparent, fee-free way to turn unwanted gold into cash, no matter where in the Metroplex you call home.
Gold Buyers Dallas TX | No-Fee Buyer Since 1939 – Sell gold in Dallas with zero hidden fees. Midwest Refineries pays 95% of pure gold content plus 100% spot price. A trusted gold buyer since 1939.
Many buyers advertise 98-99% payouts, then quietly deduct assay fees, treatment charges, brokering fees and handling costs, because no business can survive on a true 1-2% margin. We don’t. Midwest Refineries charges zero fees. Orders under 3 troy ounces are purchased outright based on average after-melt weight loss and karat purity; 3 ounces or more are melted and assayed for exact content. Dallas sellers receive 95% of pure gold content and 100% of spot price at settlement.
Karat jewelry, rings, chains, bracelets, wedding bands, coins and bars, dental gold and bridgework, watches, nuggets, scrap gold, gold-filled items, gold solder, sponge, shot, sizing stock, alloys and bench sweeps. Gold-filled material is purchased outright at 15% of spot price per pound. We don’t accept gold-plated items, electronic scrap, magnetic gold-filled, or gold-filled with stainless steel.
Call us before you ship — we’ll explain how your material will be tested and what to expect. For security reasons, we do not accept walk-in traffic — all precious metals must be shipped to us using our shipping instructions.
Dallas is home to a concentrated wealth of fine jewelry, from Highland Park estates to NorthPark Center boutiques, and the city’s Design District has long attracted goldsmiths and independent jewelers. With a robust private banking and oil-and-gas executive community, Dallas-Fort Worth sees a steady stream of inherited jewelry, coins, and bullion that eventually needs a trustworthy buyer, particularly during estate settlements and downsizing moves. Local jewelers and pawn shops in the Metroplex often quote only a fraction of true value on these pieces. Rather than accepting a discounted local offer, Dallas sellers can ship directly to our refinery for an honest, assay-based payout.
Midwest Refineries has operated as a full-service precious metal buyer, smelter, refiner, assayer and broker since 1939. After 86 years based in Michigan, we relocated our headquarters to Lakeland, Florida in 2025, now led by second-generation owners Joanna and Raul Acosta. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and Dallas customers can count on the same honesty and no-fee pricing that has defined our company for more than eight decades.
The stamp on your gold jewelry indicates karat purity: 10K equals 41.7% pure gold, 14K equals 58.3% pure gold, 18K equals 75% pure gold, and 24K equals 99.9% pure gold. Between generations of Dallas families and a constantly growing population, there’s a steady flow of inherited gold rings, chains, and class rings tucked away in drawers across the Metroplex that could easily be turned into cash.
Package securely and ship to our Lakeland, Florida refinery per our shipping instructions. It is not necessary to remove gemstones from karat jewelry or enamel from dental gold, since both are handled safely during the melting process. We weigh, assay and settle promptly. Payment by check, bank wire ($35 domestic fee, $60 international fee), precious metal bars, coins or rounds, or combination of these. No minimum, no maximum.
