Selling Gold

Jay Dee

Does anyone know if Jeweler shops are buying gold, rather than the rip-off "unwanted Gold" merchants.
Also, if they are, how much are they offering ?

I think they're all buying good to some extent. The Martin Gear Jewellers (i think thats the name) are buying gold in their outlets.

I wonder how much they will give me for my gold knob.

They are very good. My mam got €340 for 5 or 6 bracelets. They send you out a packet and all, you just have to post it back. Then they ring you with an evaluation and if ur happy with it then they send you a cheque and you have it the day after

Thanks, but they are not a group I have seen in Cork.

Thanks, but I don't think there are any left in Cork.

Thanks, any idea what the rate ounce/euro was?

The cost of gold seems to be over €1100.00 per ounce, as per the business pages/exchange rates.

This is why I was wondering what you would actually get in a shop?

Forgotten Gold? No way!

We sent them a rake of 18 carat gold rings and they offered us a pitiful sum. They must have huge margins there.

The Gold Retriever offered €80 more for the same loot but in the end we saw sense and kept our stuff.

Do you people just have a rake of unused gold lying around the house??

"O honey we don't have enough to pay the mortgage on our 14 houses."

"O dear, i suppose it's time we sold the solid gold vase we keep in the press."

I can't understand why people would bother with selling gold jewellery for the wholesale value of the gold, unless you were in dire straits financially. Worked gold is always worth more than the basic material. Indeed if it weren't for golds use as a store of wealth, it would be practically worthless.

I'll give ya a tenner for it

Now is the time to buy gold, not to sell it!

Its a rare and limited commodity, err supply and demand? Its precisely because it is easy to store that it is favoured by banks over the likes of silver or lead for that matter. But silver and lead are far from worthless, its just they are less practical to store than gold and subsequently the markets place a lesser value on them.

Some analysts reckon it could be in a bubble- its been rising for years and has now hit historic highs.

It corresponds to the devaluation of the dollar, which is still ongoing.

People get given small pieces of gold jewellery as presents, the clasp then breaks, but as the jewellery is butt ugly, they never get it fixed.

Actually gold has some practical use these days, particularly in the field of electronics.

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Use_and_applications There are far more than I thought.

That fecking ad on TV at the moment really annoys me. Something along the lines of ..

"Do you have any spare Gold you don't want, "We'll get it out of your way and we'll even pay you for it"

They make it sound like you'd be tripping over the stuff and they would be doing you a favour.

Yes it has a celtic inscription on it also.. I might put it on adverts instead.
I will let you put first bids on it as I know your mother may be interested.

Pity it doesn't have practical uses as in electronics.

One of gold's isotopes is used for medicine to treat cancer. Gold-198 as far as I remember.

Thats before considering the rare and extremely valuable pieces of jewelry they must get every now and then.
