  • Hoping to get 5+ done today, it's raining today so am having an afternoon in. Off to the shops in a mo for more padded envelopes from Poundland. Also going to take my gold jewelery in and see how much it's worth, don't have a lot, I have a gold charm bracelet with about 10 charms on so will see how much that is worth, I paid £35 roughly for the bracelet about 15 years ago and the charms about £8-12 each, I never wear it so no point it sitting in the cupboard, I have a silver charm bracelet which I prefer.

    This might come in handy for you although its the scrap price given to VAT registered companies:
    http://www.goldline.co.uk/scrapPage.page

    Each one of your charms is probably worth £10/20 on their own for their appeal, more if extra special or heavier scrap price. Don't sell it cheaply and make sure you know what carat the gold and the weight of it so you know if they are giving you a good price for it or not

    I hope this helps you get a good price for it:D
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    Thanks, I sold two thin chains, a gold and pearl thing that was on one of the chains (not sure what you call them) and two bracelets, I got £45 for those items. I didn't sell the charm bracelet as they said the charms were not hallmarked but that they could give me roughly £23 for the bracelet but they would have to take the charms off and weigh it but I decided to keep it for now.

  • I'm just about to get some done on Turbolister.

    I was wondering (question to all), do you list just for UK buyers or do you send to Europe and Rest of World. I currently sell to UK and Europe but was thinking of adding US and Australia. I sell quite a lot of things to Europe.

    Thanks
