Go to: Previous Article Next Article
An increasingly popular way to raise extra cash for people by is selling their old gold and unwanted jewellery.
The boom in the sale of scrap gold has spread across the Atlantic from the USA to the United Kingdom. Advertisements for the sale of scrap gold and jewellery regularly appear on the TV screens as well as in the rest of the media. On the high street there are shops who now offer a service buying the items from members of the public.
The current economic crisis has spurred the selling of scrap gold as more people need quick cash and they cannot afford to let these valuable items lay in boxes and drawers.
Secondly, the price of gold seems to be rising all the time so the demand from buyers is high which of course means the sellers, ie the public, will get a much higher price than normal for their gold.
But the boom in the demand for scrap gold and valuables has led to some unscrupulous companies invading the scrap gold buying market. Such companies leave the public dissatisfied as they often pay below par prices, leaving their customers quite literally short changed.
It has to be said that most of the complaints about receiving low payments have happened in the United States but if you are planning on selling your scrap gold and old jewellery in the UK than there are some sensible safeguards you can put in place.
The first is pretty obvious. Only deal with reputable and established companies. This is particularly relevant if you are using a postal service whereby you send the company your gold and they send a cheque in return. There are obvious concerns with this method but the reputable companies will have a gold calculator on their websites so you will know in advance the figure you are likely to receive and, more importantly, the best gold buying companies will offer a price guarantee.
It is best to compare the various scrap gold buying shops and companies. This is best done on the internet rather than via the local press ads. Also, you are more likely to gain the best prices from nationally known companies.
Just put the terms "gold buying shops" or "gold buying centers" into your search engine and that will give you the names of the best people to do business with. Always check to see if they a have gold price calculator on their website and do not forget to check their terms and conditions of service.
