Unwanted gold adverts?

BizzyBek

I visited this thread at the weekend as had some odd bits of jewellery at the back of drawers. Hummed and had'd but decided to give We Buy Old Gold a try.

Envelope arrived Tuesday morning, sent Tuesday afternoon and today (Wednesday afternoon) get a phonecall and the offer. lovely lady explained which bits were and weren't gold (a lot was costume with no value). I had been hoping fo £70ish for the lot so on hearing so many pieces weren't gold thought I'd be lucky to scrape that....but it's £308!!

Much more useful in my bank account than in a drawer plus who know what the gold will be recycled into - someone's prize possession perhaps

I buy up bits of gold jewellery at car boots and fetes and on ebay even if broken and then sell on. I found the best and most honest buyer is a shop that advertises on ebay. They pay 90% of the daily gold fix and change their published price daily in line so you know exactly what they pay, they ve a jewllery shop you can visit or pay by return in the post (i go there when i am in London but have posted before). I've tried other postal services or local jewellers but they tend to pay about 60% of the price !!

Their current ebay ad is on ebay item no ***********

Hope that helps others to profit !!!

sure :rolleyes2

Hi there, yes I think gold is fetching really good prices at the moment. Our local jeweller is advertising that they will buy for good prices. A friend took in a few odd earrings where she had the lost the other, a couple of broken chains...you get the idea and I think it was about 2grams and she got about £150 although it was obviously good gold as I took a similar quantity of the same type of thing and was offered £60...

£75 a gram? surel thats a typo.
I though the biying price was around £5+ at the moment.
