Anyone ever sell gold? I have two gold rings that I found in a pickup I bought a few years back and was wondering if they were worth taking down to sell. I think one has a diamond or some other clear stone.

Take them to a jeweler.

Do not send them to cash four gold or any other other programs.

Jewelers will give you market value. Some pawn shops will too.

Chris, I've done it a few times, and even by going to a jewelry store, I walked away feeling ripped off. Where they get you is 14K vs 22K vs 24 K gold, and they are out to make a profit, so they all seem to like to throw you a low ball number.

I took them to a jeweler and was very happy with the guy. I did quite a bit of research before hand and he was right on with the price. I ended up keeping the diamond but got 380 for the two small rings.

I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

[Austin]

Me too.

Did you see the Cash for Gold episode of South Park?

Oddly relevant for this conversation.
