First-Time Silver Seller Bonus: Earn an Extra 5% on Your First Sale
My name is Mike J., and I own Cook County Buyers. As a Chicago silver buyer, I offer a convenient alternative to pawn shops and mail-in cash-for-silver companies. Most people sell their silver for far less than it is worth. You do not have to be one of them.

The First-Time Seller Bonus
New to selling silver? Mention this page when you text or call, and Cook County Buyers adds 5% to the agreed price on your first sale.
| Bonus terms | Details |
|---|---|
| Who qualifies | Anyone who has not sold to Cook County Buyers before |
| Minimum sale | 20 troy ounces of sterling, coins, or bars (about a flatware service for 6, or 25 pre-1965 quarters) |
| How it is applied | 5% added to the agreed purchase price at the meeting, paid on the spot with the rest |
| Limits | One bonus per household; not combined with other offers; weighted items excluded |
| How to claim | Say "first-time bonus" when you text your photos to (773) 490-9828 |
The bonus never replaces a fair base price. You still get our full Silver Payout Policy rates first, then the 5% on top.
Five Things to Do Before You Sell
- Sort by mark. Separate pieces stamped Sterling or 925 from anything marked plate, EPNS, or nothing at all.
- Weigh what you can. A kitchen scale is fine. Note the weight in ounces or grams.
- Photograph marks and signatures. Designer names and hallmarks can add value beyond weight.
- Check today's spot price so you know the ceiling. See the LBMA Silver Price from ICE Benchmark Administration.
- Get a quote by text before you drive anywhere.
What You Will Experience With Us
You will always receive friendly, professional service and be treated with respect. The price I quote by phone is the price I expect to pay once I confirm the items match the photos. If anything differs, I explain why before any money changes hands.

Why Sell Locally
Some web-based cash-for-silver companies have been reported to pay as little as 5% of the silver's actual value, and you have to mail your items away before you know the price. When you sell to a local silver buyer, you can watch the scale, hear the offer in person, and say no. That simple step is how you get a fair price.
