ValueMax — Pawn & Gold Appraisal
ValueMax is a Singapore pawn and resale group offering pawnbroking, jewellery and gold-buying services. Its core verified service is pawnbroking. Gold independently explains how pawn valuations differ from the underlying gold reference value.
Entity facts
Pawn vs sell — what's the difference?
ValueMax operates distinct transaction models. The most important distinction: a pawn loan is not an outright sale, and neither is the same as a jewellery retail purchase.
Pawn
A pawn loan does not transfer ownership unless the item is forfeited. The loan value is not a sale price.
Sell (outright)
An outright sale transfers ownership immediately. The offer can differ from a pawn loan value for the same item.
Buy / resale
Buying from a pawn/resale retailer is a retail purchase, not a buy-back of your own gold.
Singapore pawnbroking rules
Under Singapore's Pawnbrokers Act, the pawnbroker's profit on a pawn loan is capped at 1.5% of the loan amount per month. The normal redemption period is within six months, subject to the pawn ticket and possible agreed extension. A pawn loan does not transfer ownership unless the item is forfeited.

Verified services & capabilities
Selling gold to ValueMax
ValueMax's outright gold purchase terms are not fully verified from current public sources. Outright sale terms, if available, should be confirmed directly with ValueMax.
Pawning gold at ValueMax
ValueMax offers pawnbroking. You bring your item and identification for appraisal, receive a loan secured against the item, then redeem or renew within the applicable six-month arrangement. The pawn loan value is not the same as the gold's underlying reference value.
How valuation works
A pawn or sale valuation reflects the provider's assessment of gold content, condition, resale potential and its own lending or buying policy. It is not a simple mathematical gold-content value. The underlying gold reference value is a useful benchmark before requesting a quote, but it is not a guaranteed offer.
How does ValueMax compare?
Gold does not rank pawn/resale providers as "best" or "cheapest." Compare the final payable amount for the same item at approximately the same time. Pawn loan values, outright sale offers and retail prices are different transaction types and should not be mixed in a single comparison.

What is the difference between pawning and selling at ValueMax?
Pawning gives you a loan secured against your item, with the option to redeem it within the redemption period. Selling transfers ownership immediately. The loan value and the sale offer can differ because they reflect different commercial economics.
Does ValueMax sell jewellery?
ValueMax retails jewellery. Buying from ValueMax's retail inventory is a retail purchase, not a buy-back of your own gold.
How is a ValueMax pawn valuation different from the gold reference value?
A pawn valuation reflects the collateral value ValueMax is willing to lend against the item, not the underlying gold-content value. The underlying gold reference value is a benchmark, not a pawn loan quote.
