Post your gold or High street retailer ???

When it comes to selling your gold for cash, you can either pop into your local shop or send it away in a freepost envelope. Before you do either, make sure you compare the market for the best prices for gold. Most high street retailers who buy gold will have a website online to check out. The internet is the place to do all your gold price comparisons. To date, I have not found a legitimate website which compares many gold buyers and shows the best rate. The only chance you have is to use each websites online gold carat calculator to estimate your best options. Yesterday, one website told me that 1 gram of 9 carat gold would fetch £8.23. Today, another website said the same weight and carat would fetch £6.60. The key here is to spend a little time making sure that you find the best retailer to sell your gold to. This could be the difference between a win fall and a rip off.

Don’t worry if one retailer will not buy your old platinum or silver. If they do the best price for gold, still send it to them for cash. Find a different website who will take you platinum or silver remembering not to jump at the first buyer you laid eyes on.

Britain's teeth brace for investment.

There are hundreds of people in Britain getting fitted with gold braces. The reason... as gold prices climb they are left with a small investment. Once the braces come off... KERR CHING!

Although profitable, please don’t start removing gold teeth or braces manually. Get a professional so you can keep on smiling whilst spending your dosh!

Cash for your old gold

Dont worry if your scrap gold does not have a hallmark. Most companies  are experienced buyers and will determine the carat for you and contact you with the exact value.

Make sure when selling your gold that you compare the market for the best deal available. Dont rush into a quick sale.
