My wife had
a neckless that she almost never wore and decided she would sell it to a local
jeweler. She received so much less than
the actual price she paid we decided to do research. A small jeweler’s weight scale on eBay cost
less than ten dollars and there are web sites that give current metal prices.
So
Did you ever
wonder how much your jewelry was worth, or a silver coin or other piece of
precious metal?
If you go to
one of those ‘we buy gold and silver’ jip joints you will definitely be getting
screwed, and without even a kiss.
The sights
below will give you the current price of gold and silver on the market so if
you ever decide to sell a piece of precious metal you can be knowledgeable of
the actual value.

What?? They don't even buy you dinner and a show besides the no kiss deal? Oh hell NO!
ReplyDeleteIn Turkey, gold jewelry is a serious status symbol and people buy a great deal of it. Many of the pieces are quite lovely, hand crafted and all that. The jewelers will buy back pieces for 60% of retail, usually in trade for new. (I mean, Heaven's I can't wear that the Sultan's ball. I wore it last year) 40% is their margin for crafting a new piece and their profit.
ReplyDeleteNow is definitely the time to scarf up some gold and silver if you got some spare cash. It is better that Federal Reserve Notes! It will always have worth or value, can you say the same for the dollar?
