Gold Sale

February 25th, 2009 at 06:40 am

I sold my gold. Gold jewelry. Two rings, only 10K gold. One was my high school class ring. Does anyone ever wear these after high school?

I decided with gold prices as high as they were, I'd rather have the cash than the jewelry. Both rings have been sitting in my jewelry box for 15 years or more.

Oh, you want to know how much cash I received? $31.50. I'm glad I waited because back in October or November I was quoted $25. So, it paid a little bit to wait.

I actually had to wait in line and they had three people working. All but one person was in there selling gold jewelry. All women, too! One woman was quoted $777! Another received over $250. They had some nice stuff, too. But, if you don't wear it, what is the point?

I also had to sign a police report and show my driver's license since I was technically pawning my gold!! Good thing mine wasn't stolen. Smile

I will add this to the Ebay Challenge money.

February Total = $66.50
January Total = $4.95

    Hmmm, you've got me thinking I should dig out mine too. I remember wearing my college ring for several years after college, but overheard some so-called friends talking about me behind my back. Apparently, you aren't supposed to wear them, just buy them! Hmmph!!

    Where did you take them to sell?

    lizajane, I took my jewelry to a local jeweler who buys old gold and gold coins. It's one of a few who have been advertising. Their yellow page ad had it, too. And it's in a good part of town!! Easy.

    I have thought about doing the exact same thing. I was just digging in my jewlery box the other day and wondered what my class ring might be worth. Thanks for this post. It gives me a good idea!
