Cash4Gold Feedback Thread

I recently took a small bag of unwanted gold to a jeweller to sell, he offered me £120.00 but I did not have I.D I couldn't get the money. I sent it to cahs4gold and they sent me £57.00, I sent the chq back and rec'd my gold back. I took it to another jeweller armed with my I.D and she offered £177.50 which I accepted. If I hadn't got the original quote I would have taken the £57.00. Please BEWARE !!!!!!

My mum was going to use one of these companies, suggested she tried a jewellers in town first, glad she did, she got a lot more.

These companies are NOT going to offer you the full value of your gold, where's the profit in that for them, of course your going to get less than the scrap value is.

Unless you are very desperate for money, I'd take it to a jewellery shop first for valuation.

I sent in a ring for my friend to his company. Was a fairly nice manchester united ring. They offered £6, which i thought very cheeky. I sent the cheque back within a could of days (recorded delivery, signed for 3 weeks ago)

I have yet to hear anything and their number simply beebs engaged when i ring. Pretty much sod all i can do is there.

Yeah maybe but that is not what they pay. A friend of mine was told that his gold had 8% impurities (which is a load of tosh!! BTW) and that they would have to pay him 8% less. That took their price well below the going rate..

As I have said before on these forums, best not to post (notwithstanding the fact that your items are not insured )
Check out how much theft is going on in the Royal mail right now..Just Google
The Daily Mail One postal worker a day caught stealing

Posting your gold is just plain risky!!

aliens are on the earth,just google it
since all the ads i have seen are for special dleivery then the items are insured

I used this company a couple of months ago, the initial quote was the worst, even less than cash converters which is sayin something, after further 2 quotes they matched the best I could find on the high street at £165 as they have a price match, this is still less than the £230 I was expecting using thier calculator. I suppose they rely on ignorance or desperation, the cheque was fast in arriving and all in, for a bit of scrap lying around in the bottom of drawers, it was ok as I spent the money on a piece I did want for my daughter.
Do shop around though and dont take the first offers, they seemed keener to buy than I was to sell.

Someone advised me to send my scrap gold to Cash For Your Gold.

I made a mistake and requested a special envelope from Cash4Gold!!!!!!
Sent my gold off and quickly received a cheque for £90, which I wasn't happy with at all.
I requested my gold back, received it, and sent it to Cash For Your Gold.

I had a phone call the next day, and in less than an hour £295 was in my bank.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year, Cash For Your Gold.

I sent these people a ring 11 grams in weight and 18k gold. The internet says that the scap value of this should be £184.44. I got a cheque for £7.58. I know the ring cost a few hundred pounds in the 1970's so was shocked at what I got.

have anyone every used the cash for silver? i've got a few broken peices, but i'm inclined really just go to to the local jewellers with the broken bits and bobs and do that instead.

If you can read these messages, you can use a computer. Check the price of gold daily on the LONDON METAL EXCHANGE. A good buyer will quote a close rate. Don't send anything to anyone without checking the carat (9-10-14-15-18-20-22-24) and weighing it (in grams). Krugerrands are usually scrap only (bullion) price. Sovereigns are usually scrap, but some dates are worth more if in top condition. If you hsve one from the Sydney mint, check carefully before selling. and doing the sums. Finally, be aware that an ounce of gold (or silver) is not the same as an ounce of custard powder. A fool and his money are soon parted. MJ
