    2 places operating in carlow offering cash for gold.

    Whilst i cannot comment on either of them, people need to be aware that the value of their jewellery may be far far greater than that offered and need to be aware of poor value offered. (someone has to pay for the expensive adverts)


    here's an interesting article.

    all these places crop up in recessionary times, there is also sell your car for cash websites that advertise their highest rates but the ordinary joe soap gets nothing like that for their family runabout.

    what these places dont tell people is that a small repair to gold items can restore most or all of the value rather than flogging it cheap to these places

    I'd just like to thank the users for using the "Report Post" Function.
    Within 18 minutes of an advertising post being created we had 5 reports.
    Thanks guys.
    Things like that make this forum a pleasure to mod.
    Unfortunately, this is my first time to be online today but one of my co-mods dealt with it.

    Thanks again.

    did i miss something interesting? was it free gold?

    if people dont report these posts and adverts in the sister site the whole thing becomes unusable.

    No, just somebody from Cash4Gold trying to pimp their "quality service". It was nipped in the bud promptly thanks to the boards.ie users.
