Cash for old unwanted broken jewellery

Options
I recently stumbled across an old jewellery box of mine and found some really old gold jewellery most of it broken chains that I meant to get around repairing but never did. I also had a host of single earrings :confused:.

Anyway I did a bit of googling about selling them before having to pluck up the courage to finally bin them and found a site which buys old gold broken or not. It's called webuyoldgold and when you visit the site you can request a free post Royal mail special delivery envelope from them which is insured for £1000 which comes in a couple of days, send your jewellery and they contact you by phone or email with an offer and they transfer the money direct to your bank account or via paypal. You can also take it into their shop if preferred they are based in Dundee.

I have sent my broken old jewellery which included about 6 single earrings (maybe I thought I would find these earrings at some point??!!!) this week so will see what offer I get for them next week. Either way it's a bonus as I would have finally ceased hoarding and thrown them away so even if I get a fiver it's free money that only cost a few minutes of my time and nothing to post them.:rotfl:

Thanks lew in my excitement and haste I forgot to add the all important website address http://www.webuyoldgold.co.uk redface.gif

    Most small, independent jewellery shops are taking in old gold for cash or part exchange now :D

    my local jewellers buy 2nd hand or unwanted broken gold and pay a decent amount - i wouldnt trust sending it via post incase you never got either the gold or the money back.
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:

    I'd go around a few local jewellers too. Bear in mind that gold prices are on the up at the moment.

    Or sell it on ebay. I did that with a lot of old broken silver and gold jewellery and did ok out of it.

    Just received a call from webuyoldgold.co.uk and they received my jewellery which I posted on Friday and will be getting £134.26 for it. The money will be credited to my account in the next 2-3 days:j

    The gentleman I spoke to was really lovely too. Still cannot believe my jewellery was worth that much as it wasn't even a large number of items that I sent.

    What a great start to the week:D

    scroll down to bottom for trade prices for scrap

    http://www.cooksongold.com/metalprices/

    if you look at the gold fix graphs over a year you'll see the price of gold is the highest its been whether it'll up or down is anyones guess.

    I'd get a few quotes before parting with my metal - there are tons of jewellers who buy scrap as its the only way for them to make any money at the moment (that and selling bullion).

    I didn't weigh it beforehand so not really sure. I didn't think it would be that valuable but I am more than happy with the amount I received. You can call them on the following number for a rough idea on the worth of the gold you have on 01382 224 859 or email [EMAIL="info@webuyoldgold.co.uk"]info@webuyoldgold.co.uk[/EMAIL] to request a call back.

    Hope this helps :)
