Selling Gold To Keep Their House Works
Thursday, February 25th, 2010The frenzy that higher gold prices have caused is great. I think that my neighbors, who have both lost their jobs, have actually been able to keep their house since they sell gold pieces in their house. Since they both used to have six figure salaries, before the economy took a hit, I know that they had tons of gold. They were always buying new watches and the latest earrings for her; he probably had ten money clips that were not cheap.
I know that they are probably looking for other ways to make money, other than to sell gold to online companies and local jewelers but if they still have some then I would think that if it works, do it. I remember my mother wanted to sell gold jewelry that my grandmother left for her and she had a hard time finding a buyer, of course, this was over ten years ago but still.
Had my mother tried to sell gold jewelry today from my grandmother, I am sure that it would be a snap. I think that back in the day, it was more what the pieces looked like and if they could be resold or not. Now, it is more, just how much the pieces weigh and then the price is figured out per pound.
