Question re: selling gold

Did you shop around or did you just go to your jeweler and accept what they offered you?

Thanks :)

Re: Question re: selling gold

I just went in to a place an accepted what they offered.

I think I might have gotten more $ if I shopped around, but I figured:
It's kinda found money, and I shouldnt get so greedy... so I just took the offer they gave me

I just sold mine this weekend...went to Flea Market, I went to one booth and made $2k.

If I walked away, he wasnt going to offer me the same so I stuck with that.

if you have stones, do they take them out of the setting?

Yes, at least that is what my guy did. The gold is what they want and my stones were crap.

Re: Question re: selling gold

A guy who works with my DH at the firehouse buys gold and treasury bonds. When I gave him all my gold last week it was at 850 an ounce. We did better by him because he doesn't charge what other places charge to take the gold.
