This subject makes me laugh. People bleating on about the prices of gold and how they were duped into selling it for lower than its worth... Well unfortunately ladies and gents, THATS BUSINESS! There is no business in the world that is going to buy something for its exact worth. Maybe antiques dealers, but even then they are going to ask for the best price.
Yes, selling gold for cash is probably going to leave you with less cash than your gold is worth but this is no different to any other business policy. Let’s take a UK supermarket. They sell a 500ml bottle of pop for £0.80 but have only bought it for £0.10p / £0.12p (BIG PROFIT!). What about a DVD/Music high street giant selling a DVD for £14.99 but the supermarket is selling it for £7.99 (BIG CONTRAST!)? A furniture store will produce a sofa for about £100 and then sell it to us for about £1200. The furniture store then try to make us feel grateful that they have slashed the price in their “SALE” from £1200 to £800 (THAT’S STILL A £700 PROFIT).
The point is, don’t get your knickers in a twist about profit margin and what you should be entitled to. No business on earth is going to give you the worth of your gold jewellery. The only thing you can do is shop about for the best deal.
Finally... their is no SCAM, just people in business who want to make more money from you than they should. If people are prepared to carry on using them... they will continue to do business. Thats not their fault but yours for not shopping about. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Hi I have read your blog on "Cash for gold scams".It's good I like your thinking but I think Cash for gold is an excellent way to make money from your old damage jewelry and other valuable metals like silver,platinum etc.The important thing to know is that the higher the number, the higher the gold content and thus the higher the worth of the gold. Most jewelry pieces tend to be 10K or 14K, but even this can vary. Pieces should be stamped with their Karat or a number that corresponds to the percentage makeup of the gold. If an item is not marked, it can be tested to determine the amount of gold content.In gold cash price is not normally as good as the price you will get.For more details visit us at :- Cash for gold 2dayThanks a lot
