Selling Gold? Be Smart and Know What You’re Selling

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 10, 2010 — As more and more people sell their broken or unwanted gold jewelry in order to raise fast cash in these economically-troubled times, it seems that very few sellers have any real idea about the value of the items they send-in to Internet buyers. That does not have to be the case. Mailing out gold items to Internet buyers can be a risk, since the number of buyers-and scammers too-have increased with the price of gold.

First, Understand How Gold is Valued

Let’s assume you have a heavy gold chain that you rarely wear anymore and want to sell for fast cash while the price is at record highs. The odds are that this chain is worth far more (in gold value) than it was when you bought it. However, you probably don’t know just how much that is, a fact that unethical buyers and out-and-out scammers know well how to take advantage of by low-balling the cash you receive.

Now, let us assume that this chain weighs approximately 20 grams. Gold is priced by the Troy Ounce, where 1 Troy Ounce contains 20 Pennyweights (DWT). Since there are 1.555 grams per Pennyweight, this gold chain contains 12.86 Pennyweights of gold.

At today’s spot market price of gold, $1,175.00/Ounce (20 DWT), you can now determine value by dividing 1,175 by 20 which tells you that each Pennyweight of gold in your chain is now worth $58.75. Your necklace of 20 grams contains 12.86 DWT. Its value, therefore is 12.86 X 58.75 =$755.52.

There is just one thing about this. It all depends upon the K (Karat) weight of the gold in the necklace. If it is marked 24K or 28K, that means 100% gold so the value shown above of $755.52 is what it’s worth. However, if it is marked 18K, for example, it only contains 75% pure gold and is therefore worth just $566.64.  If it is marked 14K, it has just 58.33% pure gold and will be worth somewhat less.

This is the process an Internet buyer uses to determine what each item you sent in is actually worth based upon assay and the current spot market price at that time. The final figure after assaying each piece and adding the figures together represents 100% of the actual value of everything that you sent. However, the buyer is running a business, so expect him to deduct a reasonable amount for his overhead and a small profit for the company.

Unethical buyers, counting upon the fact that you probably have no idea what your items are worth, may send you just 15 to 25% of actual value or, in the example of the 24K chain above, just $113.32 to $188.88. This IS NOT a fair and justifiable payout!

Your Best Defense is Knowledge

In the event that all these calculations seem way beyond your ability, there is another way. Take your items to a local jewelry store and ask him to give you a rough idea what your gold items are worth at the current spot market price for gold. He may charge you a few bucks for doing it, but in the long run you will know if an Internet buyer is ripping you off. You should receive at least 60-75% OF THE ACTUAL GOLD VALUE from an ethical buyer after he subtracts his overhead costs and a small profit from your item’s total value.

Also, keep in mind that any diamonds in your jewelry also have value and should either be appraised and included in your payout, or removed and returned to you.

Just as important, always check out any buyer you are using for the first time with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and Internet complaint sites. If the company you are considering has a slew of ‘unresolved complaints’ from unhappy sellers, look elsewhere. This will also help you steer clear of out-and-out scams designed to steal your items and claim that they never arrived.

Cash for Gold Co always pays ‘the highest-possible percentage of the actual value of a seller’s property’ based upon assay and current spot market price. Learn more by visiting the company’s website at: http://www.cashforgoldco.com

The Amazing difference of a Secure Pack!

The actual act of selling your gold online requires an actual method to sell your gold in the form of using a special envelope as we shall discuss this later on in the article. But before this you need to know what type of items you need to place in this special “gold pouch”. What types of items go in these special gold envelopes?  Scrap gold, broken gold, dissected gold pieces and the like can go in these special pouches called the Secure Pack. But what people don’t know is that these same providers of the secure pack also provide packs for selling silver and diamonds as well. Many people don’t take the opportunity to cross sell the different forms of jewelry that they have. This means requesting Secure Packs for gold, silver and even your diamonds. Let us break down the Secure Packs for each one and then you will sell the difference of a secure pack by for yourself.

For Gold: The secure pack is the best way to go because it is insured and pre-paid, for easy return.  As stated before you can sell back dented rings, broken gold necklaces and other forms of gold as well. Many people even take the time to sell back dental scrap that they kept from their previous dentist visit. The Gold Secure Pack is the most common form of the Secure Pack that people know with which to conduct a cash for gold service and to sell gold online.

For Silver: This is another Secure Pack that works in the same way as with the gold market. Getting cash for Silver is now becoming just as popular as selling gold. Many people just like you are collecting all of their sterling silver earrings, silverware and silver dishes as well.  If you have Silver items that are not being used, you should not even hesitate to sell your silver online because the returns are just as rewarding and fun as selling your gold online.

For Diamonds: Selling diamonds online is an emerging market online that also uses the benefit of a Secure Pack as well. Many people feel nervous of the thought of doing this for an array of reasons. However if you are able to link up with a reputable online diamond broker you should have no worries about sending your diamonds via a Secure Pack.

Need Cash for College Tuition? Cash for Gold Co Can Help!

It’s no secret that colleges and universities across the country have limited new enrollments and raised yearly tuition costs. This has placed concerned parents who are already suffering from reduced incomes in a real quandary about how to help their children get the education they deserve.

According to Joe Montes, president, “We’ve heard from several parents that they decided to sell their gold and platinum jewelry because they felt that being adorned with a bit of flash seemed unimportant compared to helping their kids pay for school. So what they did was round-up their gold chains, old class rings and other jewelry items and send them to Cash for Gold Co in order to come up with the extra money they needed for tuition.”

Montes commented further, “We can’t think of a better reason to raise extra money during the current economic downturn. Experts are telling us that by statistical standard, the recession is over. However, statistics mean little to those who have been unemployed for months with the fall college enrollment fees fast approaching. We congratulate these parents for sensibly prioritizing their financial needs!”

Cash for Gold Co pays sellers ‘the highest-possible percentage of actual value of their precious metal properties based upon assay and the spot market price for the metals at that time.’ With current market prices for gold, platinum and silver at record highs, there has never been a better time to turn broken or unwanted jewelry items into fast cash. The company also buys diamonds and these can have considerable cash value in themselves.

All sellers have to do is visit the Cash for Gold Co website at: http://www.cashforgoldco.com and request a SECUREPAK™ mailing envelope in which to ship us their property. These envelopes are pre-insured for up to $1,000 each to guard against any risk to the seller due to theft or loss while in transit to our facility.
