I was going to use this company (so glad I didn't) but google'd them first and read the crappy reports (I said it before and I'll say it again - google is your friend) instead I used www.hattongardenmetals.com

I sent via special delivery and recieved an email within 24hrs confirming the weight, price etc and that they had paid the money into my bank, and sure enough they had!

I got £215 for my chain - please see my earlier post.

Sorry to hear you got ripped off by these scam merchants.:mad:

Thanks - just out of interest, what search parameters did you use on Google to find customer feedback of Cashforyourgold? And for that matter the site you used?
I tried to find just that before taking the plunge but just found loads of ads and references to similar sites. I agree Google can be a big help, but it can also be most frustrating if you're after a quick straight answer!

I went to get something else in a london branch a took my kitchen scale in case. Despite the fact that i knew that there where none in stock, i was able to take a look at one that was reserved for someone else. 11g exactly if this can be an incentive for the interested people. I believe that Argos stated 100g to make fun of us and get revenge for the mispriced chain:D :eek:

I managed to get one of each today - 100g & 70g.
I took the bigger one to nearby jeweler who confirmed the weight at 11.2g and offered me £52 for it.
I didn't get the smaller weighed but I would guess around 7 - 8g.

yer i picked up the "70g" one, i think it weighed 4g at the most!! lol I looked at the 100g one, and was no where near that! - so to quote me in an earlier post "it is too good to be true" - but anyone else thinking about mis-advertisement??? I mean, its misleading - though Im happy I got the original chain, so am happy with the few quid i made.

ooo, and also in store I noticed a sign saying sorry about the mis price of the original chain, and sorry for any inconveniance!!!! hee hee

They had a notice in my Argos apologising for the mis-price too, saying it was a mistake.

Hi just posted this on another money saving site if you will, thought id post here as ive found many a bargain here too,,,, Payback from me :beer:


Argos in there new promotion book have the 1oz 31g Solid Gold curb chain down from a rrp of 599.99 to 254.49 and now to just £134.99

considering the price of a 1/2oz chain is £131.99
& 2oz chain is £489.39

This looks like a misprice which should have read £234.99

Anyway judge for your selfs looks ok to me.

managed to pick one of these chains up last monday , had been looking for a chain for my dads 5oth birthday, looks like my sister was right to get it then and there and not wait for this week.

Hi all,

Obviously i want to spend as little as possible on postage but also want the package to be secure as possible.

Thanks in advance :beer:
