Selling precious metals secondhand is a potentially lucrative endeavor; however, in Florida, as in many states, secondhand precious metal dealers must abide by licensure requirements. These requirements were put in place to reduce the prevalence of the pawning of stolen goods and to ensure that the business participates in fair and equitable sales practices. Failure to register properly can result in criminal prosecution and felony charges. Careful attention to registration requirements is vital to avoid these potential legal problems.
