postgold for cash

i am thinking of sending in my jewelry i never wear and all the broken chains and single earrings,any one else done it and were they happy with it?????

[boxtops]

I wouldn't do it, I have heard so many stories that people have been offered a pittance and had to fight to get their stuff back. I'd go to a high street jewellers - they buy it by weight, I've had some good deals by selling stuff to them.

i want to get my son a nice gold chain for his 25th,do you think i could haggle??

Hi Boxtops, I too was tempted but my husband offered to take my gold stuff to our local jewellers and I got £700!! The jeweller admitted the stuff was worth £800 but of course he needed to make a profit and I was very happy with what I got. He wasn't intetrested in my silver however so I did post that off and, after a phone call and a little wrangling, I got a cheque for £48. I would suggest to try a few shops if you can and get the best deal you can. Good luck!

I would take it to a local jeweller first. According to the price quoted in today's Telegraph the price of gold is $1,722 per Troy ounce. Obviously every local purchaser has to make a profit and you will not be offered this sort of price.

I have a gold/sapphire dress ring which is too small now- is it better to sell it as a ring or just as gold?

[rowanwitch]

sell as a ring.... the scrap people only give you the gold weight

If anyone lives near Birmingham Lois in the jewellery quarter seems to give a good price and they take silver too And test in front of you

space cadet what a great idea,one of the items is a rose gold watch chain for a pocket watch and is quite chunky,jeweller valued it before about £250,wonder how much that would cost as i have sme more bits and pieces.
