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

[TheLittleRoo]

Well, I have my stuff ready to go to GoldFellow, but I'm contemplating holding onto it for another little while since the prices have dropped. How likely is it for prices to go back up?

I figure it's like stocks... yes, it might go up a bit more, but then again, it might go down. If the price of gold is still relatively high (even at $800, that's pretty good) the difference to your quote of $100/oz for 24K gold will only net out to maybe $40 for an ounce? Far better to sell at $800-$1000 than wait and see gold prices start to drop back to where they've always historically been.

Just my $.02 worth! This coming from someone who didn't sell her stock when it hit a 52 wk high of $63/share, and now it's at $43! Heck, I should've sold at $50!

Just cause Im new to this like most people on the thread - what was gold at before it went over $1000? What is it "usually" at?

I sent my stuff to Goldfellow yesterday and they received it today, I also see that gold has dropped today also. However, all of the items I sent had been sitting in my jewelry box for years not being worn, I figure if I haven't worn it in the last 10 or 15 years chances are I am not going to start now. So, even with the price of gold down,I sent mine in and look at it as found money

Wow, that's fast!
I sent mine in yesterday and according to Fedex it's not due to arrive until the 3rd!
I'm just hoping the stock market sinks and gold rises between now and then! (DH says I'm nuts, but hey, I think our 401K could take another hit and pick back up on the 4th, right?)

Mine said delivery was for April 3/08 also, just for kicks I tracked it to see were it might be, and said it was delivered at 11:35 a.m. That was shipped from Buffalo NY at 5:30p.m yesterday.
That was just the regular free fedex express, glad I didn't overnight it for the extra $23.

For everyone who had been waiting on US Goldbuyers, just went to their website and you can now request the shipping info thru email. I have not decided whether I will use them or GoldFellow, but I am requesting info from both. I am still going to hold on to my items until Golds up some.

 

[dizneygirl3]

Just got emailed my settlement from Goldfellow, $798.65 very happy with that!! Wow what a speedy turnaround 1 day , just fedex'd yesterday afternoon, used the regular free express.

Hello Everyone
I wan't to give a big thank you for everyone's imput on this thread. I sen't my package off last Wed. and they got it this morning. The waiting was killing me watching the gold prices drop.

I just got my settlement from Gold Fellow and it was 458.95 !! I am thrilled. They gave the breakdown but when I wen't back to look after I accepted, I couldn't find.


I did call them about a diamond in a ring. They will take diamonds if over 3 points. I thought mine was a .25 but turns out it was .20. Didn't pay much on the diamond but I haven't worn it in years and didn't much care.

Good luck to everyone else waiting.

Last summer, it was around $650/oz. I remember because I was having a ring made and they forecasted that gold was going up, and I ought to hurry up and get the ring. I thought they were just using pressure tactics and now I can't afford to get the ring made at today's gold prices! I'd say we've seen the record breaking high point. If you like the price, take it sooner rather than wait for the market to come back.

Well, my package from GF came yesterday, however I don't have it because they didn't put enough postage on it. I sent my DH and 39 cents to the post office today to get my check. Hopefully he's gotten it already.

I got my payout from usgb.....801.92!! not bad for junk in the bottom of my jewlery box. I had maybe 4 or 5 earrings (small) 5 rings (a couple w/small stones). 1 rope chain, a few broken chains, a couple of herringbone bracelets, a dolphin braclet and some charms. On my postal scale. with the stones it came to about 3 oz.

It was mixed 10 and 14k...nothing higher.

Not bad...IPOD touch, here I come, plus this is going to cover my upgrade to deluxe dining at WDW in 2 weeks.

Cool! I pulled out all my stuff and it weighs in at 3 ounces too; however, I have some stones so I'm thinking I'll have 2 1/2 when it's all said and done.

I've printed out the gold fellow mail receipts and I'm off tomorrow.

I'll be tickled pink if I get anywhere near that. Of course the stocks are up today so I hope that doesn't mean gold prices will sink!!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!

Was the 10% code for the disboards with Gold Fellow????

Thanks!!!

I used usgb, not gold fellow. I figured about .5 for stones, as well. I will be interested to see what you get from gold fellows. gold fellow is the one that gives the extra 10%.

Yes, it is. Be sure to include that you are a member of DISboards (or The DIS) in your paperwork.

 

[wdwpluto]

Whee! $529 for a bunch of junk (From Goldfellows, inc the 10% disboards) I'm so freaking happy, thanks OP for a great thread!

HI,

I'd still like to hear from someone who accepted a payout from USGB and requested a company check instead of paypal. I did and I'm wondering how long its gonna take for me to get it. The sent it supposedly Friday.

Thanks!

 

[Bronte]

Well I decided to send in my 7 bracelets and 3 thin rings ...
I sent it in yesterday (Monday at 5:30 pm) and they got it and gave me a quote at 3:15 today (Tuesday ... wow that was fast.)
Question ...
They stated on the online quote that I sent in 9 DWT and that they are paying $13.81 so my settlement is 124.29 ... Does that seam right ????

Everyone is quoting what they got with oz. and so I am not sure ...
Thanks for any help ...

 

[Bronte]

Sorry one more question ... If I decline will they (goldfellow) send my stuff back without charge (I thought they did but when I checked thier site it does not clearly say that ... it just says free shipping there ... nothing about returning.)

thanks again

 

[sunnyday123]

ok.....so I weighed my stuff again ( including my ex's Mason ring that I just seemed to "find"!) and it's 8oz....I am going to bite the bullet and send this junk in....it's a mix of 10-14k....can't part with my high school ring, and I'm not sure why...am also getting my Mother to dig up my engagement/wedding rings....oh look, I found his band, too! Maybe I can swing a trip to Disney with my payout!

I requested a company check on Thursday and I got it on Monday via Fed EX with my returned junk like my "worthless" school ring (according to them). I had to have $15 off of my payout to get the items returned and that may be why I got the check so quickly

I really enjoyed my transaction with Goldfellows. The USGB gave me an Ulcer

Either way - I have more money than I did and a SHINY, PURTY, NEW IPOD TOUCH. It's now my precious

Good luck - hope you get it soon!
