Be Careful Who You Sell Your Scrap Gold To

Selling scrap gold for cash continues to grow in popularity as more and more people realize how much money that are able to get right now for old, broken, out-of-style scrap gold that they no longer want.

But as with all things that grow in popularity, you’ve got to be cautious with who you’re dealing with.

Scrap Gold Scammers

Some people think that they will get the same amount of money for their scrap gold no matter who they sell to. This is not only false, it’s a down-right shame.!

There are people out there who are taking advantage of people’s ignorance of how much their scrap gold is worth.

You should always consider selling to an established, legitimate scrap gold company and not just to anyone who says that they are willing  to give you fast cash for your scrap gold.

How Scrap Gold Value Is Determined

The value of your scrap gold will depend on the purity of your gold (the number karat of gold that you have, such as 14k, 18k…) and how much of it you have, or the precise weight of your gold piece.

The amount you receive for your gold should never depend on the condition of your gold, such as if it’s tarnished or broken or missing pieces.

Be Careful Who You Sell To

Make sure that before you sell your gold to a company, that you do a little research to make sure that they are a legitimate company and that they are precise in their testing of your gold and fair in their offer.

Spring 2011 Fashion Trends

Want to look hot this spring? Jump on board with the latest trends hitting the fashion world! And the best part of all is that you don’t have to go far or spend much to get in on some of the hottest looks this spring; start by digging through your mom and grandma’s closets!

What’s Hot this Spring for Fashion Trends?

This spring’s fashion trends is taking us back to the 70’s and even 60’s. Some closet essentials you’re going to want to have this spring are:

  • bell bottoms
  • wide leg pants
  • big sunglasses
  • tights
  • fur
  • long boots
  • tassels

For materials, lace, crochet, sheer, leather, stripes and fur are going to be very popular. Cat eye glasses are also going to be making a huge come-back. Blending in other styles with the listed above will make for a great blend; try throwing is some punk and biker looks; another two styles that are going to be big this spring.

Another popular choice that we haven’t seen for a while: the fanny pack. Only before you go snatching your mom’s old fanny pack out of her closet, this may be one that you’ll want to splurge a little on since the new style, known as a belt purse, is going to look a little different than what you may have in mind.

Gold is still hot this season, although it’s got to be big and flashy, so you may want to consider trading your old scrap gold in for some hot new styles of costume jewelry.

For colors, stick to a wide variety of dull, more washed-out colors and stay away from bright, flashy colors.

Make-up is going to be more natural and light to match long, wavy natural looking locks.

What kind of scrap gold can you sell?

Do you have some pieces lying around the house that contain some real gold in them, but you’re not sure if you would be able to sell them as scrap gold? Maybe broken pieces or old pieces of jewelry? Or perhaps a little figure or statue?

When companies buy scrap gold, what’s important is the amount of real gold that a piece contains. They typically don’t care what kind of shape the piece is in, whether it’s broken, missing pieces or is tarnished shouldn’t be important. These items can be: Broken Jewelry, Chains / Necklaces, Lockets and Pendants, Watches, Earrings, Bracelets, Charms, Rings, Brooches, Pins, and Cufflinks, Gold / Silver Coins, Dental Gold, Silverware (stamped Sterling Silver), Gold / Silver Bars, etc.

The amount on money that a gold buyer will offer you for your scrap gold depends on how much actual gold your piece(s) contain. They will test your piece to find out what karat gold your piece contains, for example, 14k, 18k, 24k, and how much weight of that gold there is. These different numbers of karats is how much gold is in each pieces; the higher the number, the more pure gold within the piece and therefore the more it is worth based on how much gold it has.

If you have old jewelry that is made of gold that you no longer want, and wish to sell it to a scrap gold buyer, be sure to remove any stones or anything that is non-gold that you would still like to keep. Scrap gold buyers typically do not buy precious or semi-precious stones and therefore you will only be given a cash offer for the gold portion of your piece.

Selling scrap gold is a great way to get some great cash that you would rather have instead of your unwanted scrap gold, especially now while gold prices are at an all time high and holding on.

How Much Money Can I Get for My Scrap Gold?

When you begin seriously considering to sell that old scrap gold that you’re no longer using or wanting, the idea of getting some great cash instead probably sounds pretty tempting. There’s just one problem left, you’re holding back because you’re not sure how much your scrap gold is worth and you don’t want to sell it to someone just to find out later on that someone else would have given you more money. Sound Familiar?
