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

[Gisele]

Now it is at exactly 1778.00 USD so only $12 dollars away from going back to $1990.00 for Gold..... I need to take up Gold mining....

Or gold panning, or digging.....

1778 + 12 = 1800 not 1990?? What am I missing?

Did I forget to mention I cannot add.... and that math is a four letter word? OK so in my minds eye, that is how I would like it to be. Yes,you are correct of course. Gold really did come down, in the last couple of days. I am still hoping for it to go back to the golden figure of over $1990.00 an ounce. That figure is correct. Thank you for pointing out the error of my brain.

Well I have been lurking on this post for awhile and have finally decided to take the plunge and mail off my gold to USGB after hearing all the stories. Not expecting much, but whatever I get is better than nothing!

I picked up one of the mailing envelopes at Penney's. It's a pre paid UPS envelope, and is insured for up to 750.00-anything you think is valued above you 750.00 you need to call first and make arrangements. I have an old 14kt herringbone necklace that is kinked, so I'm going to send that in to see what happens. The name of the co. on the envelope is the Secure Gold Exchange.

would someone venture a guess, 14K and I have 3.1 ounces.
The conversion thing is driving me crazy today...I think its nerves


Anyone? TIA

We have the gold buyers kiosk at the mall. I should try it out

No way to know. They measure in troy ounces ,which is not the same as an ounce, then it depends on the karet. Your golld isn't 100% gold, so you could only have actually 1/2 ounce of pure gold. No way to know. You could go and take it to a jewelers and see what they say, but I wouldn't sell to them. They really low ball you.

thanks, I guess I could try to see what conversion there is for ounce to troy ounce to have an idea..

I'm doing what one of the PP did. I'm sending in stuff from old guy friends. Let's hope it's a good payout!!!!! lol.

I'll let you know what I get. I'm hoping it's enough to pay off my the rest of my WDW trip.

Well that was fast. I mailed out the package yesterday and I just got a call from them now. It's only going to be $247. That stinks. That won't pay off my trip. And the funny thing is, the items I thought for sure were gold weren't gold. Go figure!

So, I am going to have them send back the items. Maybe I'll be able to sell them somewhere for a couple of bucks! lol. I'm not counting on getting them back after hearing all of the horror stories here. So, this will be an experiment. I'll let you know if/when I receive them.

24k gold is pure gold, so your 14k is just over 50% pure gold (58.33% pure to be exact). Troy ounces are similar to regular ounces (something like 1.09 regular ounces for a troy ounce), so if you have 3.1 regular oz of 14k gold, then you approximately 1.5 oz of pure gold...at $1800ish an oz, that is a pretty pay day. Keep in mind that most reputable gold buyers will only give you 80% of what the gold is worth (they need to make some money in the process), and some crooks will really really lowball you.

I sent mine in yesterday after reading everyone's comments here. They called a couple of hours ago and offered $704! I was really shocked. I sent several items but none were really big and they even said 2-3 things weren't real gold so.. I was trying not to get my hopes out for a big payout so I was pleasantly surprised!

Did anyone from Tuedays call get their check yet?

24k is not pure gold. They actually had a graph on the today show the other day about it because gold is so high right now. They can't make jewelry out of pure gold as it wouldn't hold up. pure gold is soft.

edit to add, it is probably the purest gold you can get though, not being a bar of gold. I have read a few things and there are mixed things stating 24 K is pure gold, while others say it's still mixed....I guess it depends on who you go to.

I got an offer call at 6 p.m Central Time Tuesday night and still have not received my check. I live in the Chicago area. I called yesterday and they wouldn't even check on the status, but told me that they are processed the same day the offer is made and it takes about 5 business days to receive the checks. I'm hoping it arrives in today's mail. It will make the weekend go better! Good luck to everyone waiting for their checks.

thanks.. I am not far from them in NJ. We were sapposed to leave for North Carolina today but Irene has ruined out vacation. Mail hasnt come today but I will let you know if it shows up today

 

[Gisele]

Due to Hurricane Irene, parts of NY are literally shut down. Between that and Irene, mail might take a bit longer to be received or to even be sent out to begin with.
In NYC all mass transit has been closed. That being done as of Saturday at noon E.S.T. for it is now Sunday back East. I would hold off sending anything back East at this time.
