Merlin ....Never ;-)

look on tescogoldexchange I hear it offers the best prices and also gives tesco points!!!

Just thought I'd mention....
...according to this morning's index, gold is even more expensive than the last time I mentioned it (above 23 August).
The reason I'm watching is that I bought some from Royal Mint (for investment purposes) just last year, and since then the retail price has risen by 27% :-D

Nudging up......
.... to add that price of gold is currently at an all time high, ref: this morning's news.

This is what the Royal Mint have to say on their Q & A page, ref: selling gold or having it valued....

"We find that in many instances it is better for members of the public to approach a reputable coin dealer who should be able to provide a valuation. The Royal Mint does not value coins, but it should be possible for you to locate a coin dealer by contacting the British Numismatic Trade Association.
You can visit their website at www.bnta.net"

I heard the other day on the radio that even silver is making a good price. Apparently there will be less silver around in future to make jewellery and I assume that applies to gold as well, as people are hoarding it, so later on jewellery will be very expensive. I think I have got that right, not feeling very withit right now.

Lady Cutie: You had a lot more sense than our previous Prime Minister Gordon Brown who sold off our gold reserves for less than half of what they were worth. Now the country's barely got two halfpennies to rub together.

I took two 9ct gold wedding rings and one 18ct just to see how much they were offering back in nov 2010 .. i was offered £10 for the lot
so i said no thanks ...Hazelx :-)

Great minds and all that Rose lol x

I was shocked when I sold a few bits of broken jewellery for nearly £600. Then my son brought some over that was valued at £265 in Surrey , he got £685 Even two lightweight earrings went for £118. So shop around I've found independent jewellers that have been in business a long time are offering best prices. My one only makes between 8% and 10% profit

You may get more as scrap gold rather than selling them as retail.
Depends on the weight but gold prices are very high at the moment.
You need to find a good dealer.

Dont' sell them through the postal sites, you won't get the full value. Take them to your local jewellers. They will give you a far better value than those postal sites ever will.

Gold is worth £1,064-14 and ounce that is for 9ct

,,weigh the earings and you will get a rough idea of how much you could get for them from a Jewellers that is buying gold.


I took a few broken 9ct rings/earings to sell at a well known jewellers where I live and I got nearly a £100 for them.
