in Boost your income
I have approx 3.5 ounces of 9 carat gold I want sell. I was offered around £400ish in a scrap gold shop but am after advise of the best place online to sell this as I hear its much more profitable to sell it this way - Can anyone recommend the best places online from experience?

Thanks for any help you throw my way.

    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    Online shops can pay you what they like and having seen watchdog and seen dominic thingybob from The One Show all say that taking your gold to an independent shop is the way to go then I would take it to an independent shop.

    £400 is a fair price - you might not get that with an online shop, you might get half or even less.

    You get bad prices online and in gold buying stores (ramsdens,cheque centre etc) the best price you ll get is in independant jewellers.

    Not from experience, but these people quote rather more than £400 for 100g of 9kt gold. http://www.hattongardenmetals.com/scrap-gold-prices.aspx

    We have just used them, we received an amount pretty close to our kitchen scales/published price for 9kt gold estimate. Fast too, the cash was paid into our account by BACs the day after posting the items.

    Hatton Gardens looks like a good option, I may go for that.
