How to maximize your profits from scrap gold! - scrap gold price Questions




Question #1:

How much would be a good price to haggle?

I noticed a very unusual gold necklace in second hand jewellery store and I'm interested in purchasing it, especially as I know that there's another serious buyer who would like to try and melt it down.
It's a high quality piece of jewellery 18K with a good (world renowned) name attached to it and weighs in at 142 grams (solid gold)

I've checked around and if I was trying to buy something similar to it new from the original retailer it would cost me $9,250 - $10,500.
I've calculate the scrap value of the necklace to be $4,237.

The seller is pushing that it's a "unique" piece and "vintage" therefore worth a lot more; the price set is $16,500.

There's no way that I'm paying that much for it, retail prices are inflated anyway but then to inflate it again is beyond wishful thinking. I know that the other buyer will offer a lot less than that and probably less than me as they're only interested in the gold value, not the name.
I'm keen to haggle with this seller but this time I'm not sure what to offer. Typically I offer 50% the asking price and work from there with it usually ending up at 35% the asking price, but I know that jewelry is the special exception to the rule as the Western market always over-inflates it cripplingly.
The seller also seems well versed in trading by weight rather than a set marked price, they've listed the weight per gram on all the items.

What would be a good price to try haggling for?

Question #2:

Trying to get out of debt, when is the best time to sell our scrap gold and silver?

My husband and I are trying to get out of debt, paying off credit cards, student loans, etc. We have made quite a dent in the past two years considering we have a six year old, four year old, and one year old. We have a decent amount of scrap gold and silver we would like to sell to pay off debt or invest in my husbands business (he needs cash for a buying trip as we sell items online). We have a friend that does this and will give us a fair price for it. Do we hold onto it and hope that the prices continue to climb, or go ahead and sell it and pay towards our debt or invest in the business now? When do you think it will reach it's peak price?

Question #3:

how do you invest in gold or silver?

I was wondering where you buy the gold and then where would you sell the gold for a good price?

is it mostly just scrap gold and silver that is bough and sold?

Question #4:

Where in canada can I get above 97% of scrap value for gold?

I have a place here in Maryland that gives me 96% of the goldspot price on my scrap gold. In canada, gold goes for $60 more an ounce. Im looking to maybe ship some out and get a little bit more for it. Does anyone know of a gold liquidator in canada??

Question #5:

Can a broken watch ever have any scrap value?

I am having a clear out and I have a Longines 9 ct gold ’Presence’ gents wristwatch which let me down very badly about 10 years ago when its case split. Consequently I rather fell out of love with the Longines marque. I don’t care to repair it by way of replacing the case, the cost would at least equal the price paid for the watch which was £400.

Should I just throw it away?

Question #6:

Why would anyone want to vote Labour?

After all the stupid things Labour have done...............
Sold off our gold reserves at really low prices
Plundered private pension schemes so that they are poor value for money now
Got us into eastern wars we don't need
Allowed millions of immigrants to swamp us
Introduced the humans rights laws
Slyly signed the Lisbon treaty after promising us a referendum
Scrapped the 10p tax band, making the low paid worse off
Increased the gap between rich and poor
Reduced social mobility, making ordinary people less likely to succeed
REDUCED OUR ECONOMY TO SMOKING ASHES, NEEDING THE NEXT FOUR GENERATIONS TO PAY OFF THE DEBT.

WHY would anyone want to vote Labour? I can hear it now' "I've always voted Labour and I always will".

Question #7:

How much is $7 a gram converted to pennyweights in gold ?

I'm trying to sell some scrap gold jewelry and I've been checking around at some nearby jewelry shops and everyone gave me a price in pennyweights except for one company that gave me their price in grams. Some kind of formula would be awesome also btw.

Question #8:

why is there such a difference in price between silver and gold?

they are both precious metals yet when you look at even scrap value 9ct which is only 37.5% gold is £8-£9 per gram yet sterling silver which is 92.5% silver is only 25p-28p per gram

why is there such a big difference

Question #9:

16 X 25 mm 10k chain 24" long?

I won this auction on ebay and the seller told me that the chain is 16 x 25 mm wide and here is the other info, How wide is 16 x 25 mm ?
This is a 24” 10k marked gold chain and the Jesus charm is about 1” and also marked 10k. Combined they weigh 7 grams. The listing price of this item is based on and slightly below the scrap price of 10k gold at the time of the listing.

Question #10:

price of gold estimate?

I have a gold ring with fake pearl and it looks like real diamond chips that was purchased from Witmark and a gold pin with nothing on it and I was wondering if anyone knew a ballpark estimate on how much I would get if I took it in for scrap gold.

Question #11:

Dealers pay you less for scrap gold than the spot price. What is that percentage?

Question #12:

Question #14:

This the begining of my story. read and give me some feed back thanks! x ,you will help alot. x?

Chapter 1

The end of the Beginning




I am Bayliee Thomson the new girl. Not only new school, but new country, new neighbourhood and a new mother.
England was my home it always had been, and now that is all gone I feel there’s a part of me missing, just a small part but big enough for it to hurt.
I have never really like The United States, it has never appealed to me. Most people see it for glamour and fame. I see past that. See past that superficial world of beauty and perfection. I see the drugs and the violence, the bullets and the hell.

But thankfully I am in a good neighbourhood with security outside every house. But it just wont be the same as my beloved England.

Chapter 2

Thank god for that







As I got of the plane, with my dad, I could feel the heat. It was sticky and uncomfortable. You could smell the sea, a warm, salty smell. Not like the beaches in England. I actually preferred this smell, it was calming, something I could get used to.
It was 82 degrees in Palm Beach, West Florida. Way more than it was in London. I was wearing my yellow shirt and my favourite, smart grey trousers with the three gold buttons on the pockets. I really wish I didn’t wear them now, as I am so hot and I’m not even outside yet!

I am glad that we are moving to a ‘well to-do’ town as dad calls it (I just call it a rich snotty town), otherwise I would never fit in. All my wardrobe consisted of is designer clothes! I have almost every brand that my dad will buy for me, at a reasonable price. I have : Gucci, Armani, Christopher Kane, Chanel, Burberry and a whole lot more.

My dad is a millionaire and so was my grandmother and grandfather. My grandparents past away 2 years ago along with my mother. They were in a terrible car accident. The car was only a scrap box by the time the lorry had finished with it. We couldn’t even have a proper cremation, my mother and grandparents were to badly injured. I still think about them, a lot. But I now have to make the most of my time here on this big round rock, I know that’s what my mother would have wanted.

Everyone in the airport seemed so happy. It must be all the sun there getting. Customs was really quick to get through, around 20 to 30 minutes I should say. The car dad had hired was waiting outside the airport for us. It was a brand new black BMW X5. The chauffeur wasn’t our usual one, William. This man was very tall and had long brown hair, that came down just past his shoulder. His hair was tied back into a messy ponytail.
William will be coming over in 2 weeks to live with us. He has been a chauffeur in our family for 20 years.
My family have always been very wealthy, my ancestors were owners of a diamond mine in north Canada, this was over 200 years ago. But the mine was said to be a curse. To anyone who did not pass the test that god had set. If you didn’t pass the test you would see death and horror. Almost everyone in the village tried to get to the diamonds, not believing the curse, but those who went in never came back out.
My great, great, great, great aunt Maria’s boyfriend had died early in the morning, the day that they were meant to be getting married. She decided she had nothing to lose, and headed into the cave with her sister Rosemary, who had 2 children of her own. Rosemary loved her sister more than the world, and would not let her go into the cave alone. Four days later they came out! Claiming that god had told them they were lucky and had passed the test to owning the mine. Everyone in the town celebrated. Even the King who lived many fields away came to congratulate the chosen ones of god.
My grandmother also said that my ancestors were Witches and that was why they passed the test, since they were something out of the ordinary. My aunts were murder though. Around 10 years after the finding of the diamonds.

As I got closer to the chauffeur I could see his golden name tag. It spelt, James. He open the door for me and my dad, then put our suitcases into the trunk of the car. It was a 2 hour drive from Palm beach international airport to our new house on north road, Jupiter Island.

The drive went quicker than I expected. I looked out of the window all the way there. Looking at the cost line and palm trees, something I wasn’t used to but soon will be. Dad was extremely quiet which was unusual, he always has something to say like me. But I was to busy enjoying the silence to want to break the silence. I tried not to think about the ‘mummy’ waiting for us to knock at the door. Eliza isn’t bad, not at all. I wouldn’t but up with her otherwise. Its just, she try’s to hard. Everything she does is perfection, it gets really irritating. The car then stopped to soon, and I reluctantly stepped out into the bright light. The moment I opened the door the hot, sticky air covered me. I quickly put

Question #15:

IS WHITE GOLD WORTH THE SAME AS ALL OTHER GOLD??? ***10 pts***?

When selling scrap gold, will I get the same price for white gold as any other type of gold? Just curious. 10 pts.

Question #16:

Im thinking of selling my gold necklace, how much can I expect to get for it?

I guess I am going to take it to one of the many places that seem to be buying gold these days. It is not scrap it is in perfect condition. But I am sure they will buy it as scrap. It is 14k gold and weighs 156.1grams. I just checked todays spot price and its is $1217 per troy ounce. So maybe that will save you a minute. I am just curious as a ballpark how much I can expect to get for it.

Question #17:

can anyone tell me simply?
thx in advance

Question #18:

If I sold a 14K Yellow Gold bracelet that weighs 30g for scrap, can you estimate a price?

I have a 14K yellow gold "bangle bracelet" and a friend of mine told me it weighed 30 grams. Could you estimate around what price a Buyer would give me for it? Please and Thank you.

Question #19:

I have a 14kt Gold & Crystal Vanity Set- can't find a hallmark match & I don't know how to add more pictures?

The hallmark seems to be either a horse or a lion centered on an anchor. I've found SILVER marks that are anchors or lions but none that have both and none on gold. All 7 pieces have the hallmark then 14kt and a box with a 4 digit number (apparently it's a replacement part number because they are different on all but the 2 small matching jars) then a small x. I've tried to Google the name but nothing came up. I've also tried to search for Gold & crystal vanity items with no sucess in matching any of the pieces. I took it to a pawn shop & the owner said I should get ahold of "Christies" since the "scrap" gold price for just the three lids alone would be over $2000. I think it's from the late 1800's or early 1900's but it MAY be earlier. I hope someone can help, Thanks.
