WOW - I just sold my old gold........

I had told myself if it wasn't over $100 I wouldn't take it. It could've been 14K plated I guess. Like i said, they were my mom's and when I saw 14K I just thought they were 14K gold. Shoot, but now I know.
 
I sent mine to US Goldbuyers, and it was a very easy and hassle-free process. I have passed on the suggestion to several friends now.:)
 
received my call, $277 and change ( I am not as "golden" as some, lol)...I am having the rejected items sent back as well, it is free of charge to do so.
I am happy, doesn't quite cover the vet bill I needed it to, but 2/3 of it.
Good luck to all.....I spoke to "Steven" was very nice and informative as I had a lot of questions. DH thought I was going to get scammed, at least that didn't happen, I think my check should arrive by Wenesday next week!:cool1:

Nice bit of change though! Did they tell you why some items were rejected?
 

same reasons, one chain was gold plated, some chains not real sliver, but I had a silver bracelet that he said paid nicely. I did have gemstones and he said those usually pay out between 8-20 depending on size/quality etc.
We had made just over $300 on our garage sale earlier this year. so together close $600 toward any bills, so it is nice!
 
I went back and read about a 2/3 weeks back and it seems posters were being offered a lot more for the items than now, even tho the price of gold has gone up.

Interesting Minnie&Nana....I didn't send in anything I wasn't completely at peace "losing" in case it was not on the up& up. I think my stuff sounds about right as I only had 1 heavy necklace and one heavy charm..the other stuff was fairly light and the silver bracelt marke 925 was heavy...but other than that like they said, one chain was 14k gold overlay...so no weith there...some stuff was from Service Merchandise,,, from EONS ago if anyone remembers that store..not the highest quality of stuff. So all in all while I was hoping for better I think it was fair, especially for stuff I was not wearing at all. I don't own a lot of jewelry, especially high quality stuff, and I am a more of a siver/platinum person over gold...I guess maybe just keep following the thread and don't send in until you are 100% comfortable doing so :goodvibes

Everything I have to send is stuff we've not worn for years, so certainly with a try. I am just getting antsy becasue I called FedEx this morning for pick up today and have been waiting all day...thought for sure the doorbell would ring just as my grandbaby was falling asleep in my arms.

I guess FedEx is supposed to pick up by 6 to get it there the next morning.....we shall see!

(the silver/platinum you mention reminded me of QVC...yes, I remember Service Merchandise ...I'm old. lol Most of our better stuff came from QVC back when they sold high quality Italian gold by gram weight...those days are long gone!!))
 
hope FedEx got there...you were probably right on target saying they wuld arrive once your Grandbaby fell asleep..lol.....
again, I am staying in the mid frame that i the last 4 months I turned stuff lying around in the house into $600, averaging 150 a month ( of course, I am runnig out of options now, must do some digging into the next opportunity I see)
Hope you do well, if your stuff is older I bet you will! My heavy necklace and heavy charm were all over 20 years old.
 
Yup. Think I'll give them a call. :confused3


eta: FedEx just came and guess what?? All out of FedEx pkgs!! Driver wanted me to give him the envelope anyway, but I declined...now he will be back in an hour or TWO!! I'm getting in my oldest pj's and be comfortable. I'm sooo tired, just hope I hear the door bell at 9:30 this evening!! Almost said I would reschedule, but didn't want to go through all this yet again.

LOL Sure hope we receive an offer more than a $100 for all this aggravation!! LOL
 
:headache: out of packages? Man, I sure hope your offer makes up for the frustration. Sorry you are dealing with FedEx from you know where. If it's any comfort, dealing with USGB was very smooth, so hopefully the worst is over for you.
 
We have silver and gold things - the on line chat person said mail it reg mail? Does that seem crazy?

USGoldBuyers should send you an e-mail with instructions and their FedEx account. Don't sent it in the regular mail -- that sounds phishy to me...

I was topld the same thing. If you have more silver than gold they won;t pay the shipping. I might try again though. I'm still been so lazy and not done anything about it. It's all in a bag, and thats as far as I've gotten.

I got my first wedding bands from my first marriage there. LOL! They were really cheap. They are 10k, and I probably didn't pay more than $100 for them, but I have no use for them now, so they are going.

Yup. Think I'll give them a call. :confused3

boy they are giving you ther runaround every which way aren't they?
 
Morning all! FedEx did come back about an hour later with an envelope. Believe or not I just checked the FedEx site and the pkg was delivered at 10:01 a.m. this morning to the front desk receptionist! Wow, I did not expect it to get there until around closing time this afternoon, so maybe I will get a call today. Sure hope it is someone nice b/c yesterday was enough aggravation for 2 days! :thumbsup2

On the bright side - if this is anything worthwhile (of course we all know that is anything over $100 :rotfl:) I will book a quick December WDW visit with my Dis friend!

If it gives you any hope, they are paying out at the highest I've ever seen...so good luck with your transaction!
 
sending :goodvibes maybe call and book your room as a fate tempter! I sure hope it works out for you.
