If someone brings a piece of gold jewellery they might be offered less than its scrap value. Would they get that if they tried to sell it as scrap themselves?
I think that the smaller the piece you have to sell, and keep in mind that even 22ct isn’t pure gold, the further away from the quoted price for gold you will get.
scrap value is just that -does not matter a hoot how big/small the item is, you will be quoted on a) the weight of the gold and b) the karat. scrap dealers just send job lots for melting and will take a cut for profit.
no you have a buy and sell spread as with shares
which differes daily
so... the idea of dickos deal is the dealers offer just a little under the possible auction hammer price which after tax is just a little over what the punter would get in his pocket from the auction house
Teddy doo dah has got the idea and is generous so that presumably walk ins to his shop think O I will get a good deal from him
and all the gurlz are as mean as hell and I would frankly walk past their shops and into the auction room TBH
whenver I hear - well these arent as popular as they once were - I wonder why the punter doesnt just get up pick up the objaaay and walk out
