Don't Use Cash4gold!
I know they advertise nationwide so I figured I'd warn everyone. This is one article they don't want you to read.

Re: Don't Use Cash4gold!
Alot of stupid people get suckered into "deals" like this. I however am not one of them. Total scam IMO. They sucker the consumer on TV that they pay by the ounce, most morons dont realize its by a Troy ounce. They also dont say what happens to the diamonds, they sure as hell are not returning them. We all know that diamonds and other stones are normally worth more than the gold. I am also sure that they are not honest of the scaled weight, if you were smart enough to know the scaled weight and quality of the gold with out the stones "if any" then would you send the gold to them to begin with? If you were that knowledgable then you would already have contacts for a more reputable dealer.

Re: Don't Use Cash4gold!
This is where personal responsibility comes into play. Do some shopping around before you commit. They're there to make money, not give you the 'most' they can. Thats just not good business. Of course neither is saying they give the most out of anyone, but hey, its their gimmick, and if people are gullible enough they'll fall for it. These same people probably answer the Nigerian lottery emails too.

Re: Don't Use Cash4gold!
A local jeweler will likely give you the best price because he is tied direct to the industry.
Still, you won't ever get 100% of the value because it would be pointless for the jeweler to buy if he couldn't make money off it too. |

But if you have any jewlry with gold coins DO NOT take them to a jewler till you take them to a coin dealer.. Even the newer gold eagles have more than just a gold value.. |

Re: Don't Use Cash4gold!
Put your gold in an envelope mail it off & wait to see what its worth
 I am all over trusting that.
