Have you ever thought about turning in your gold jewelry
pieces for cash? Well I have! I had some jewelry pieces such as necklace
chains that were broken or missing clasp and rings that were bent out of shape.
I would see those newspaper ads asking people to attend
conferences in various areas of the community or big signage outside of pawn
shops displaying “Cash for Gold” and television infomercials. I must admit, I was a bit leery to attend
these traveling conferences or dealing with a pawn shop, because of lack of
knowledge in the gold market and didn’t want to be taken for a fool, just as
there are fools gold to be had!
I’m happy that I listened to my inner voice or sixth sense
as some may call it. While internet surf
shopping one day, I found a legitimate company who pays for “Cash for Gold” all
from the comfort of your home. Now
before I tell you the company name and website url address, let me just say, I
found the link hidden on the pages of QVC.
That’s right! QVC the home
shopping network channel. So I thought
to myself, if QVC is advocating this service from an outside source, then it
must be legit.
It was such a simple process! Weigh your gold (by the way, they were also
accepting silver at the time too), so I threw in some pieces of Black Hills
Gold jewelry. Then all you need to do is
fill out the online form with your name, mailing address and email address. After submitting the request, a pop-up will
appear to print out a postage paid USPS First Class Mail shipping label, I
believe it was up to .08 ounces.
However, if your gold weighs more, just split it up and print as many
shipping labels as you need. They also
insure your package for anything valued over $300. Put your jewelry into a ziplock bag and a
padded envelope, attach the shipping label and mail your package. You can track your package(s) by typing in
the confirmation tracking number at the www.usps.com
website. When the company receives your
package, you will receive a confirmation email letting you know that they
received your items and will respond to you within 24 hours via email when they
figure the value of your items. The
process is fairly quick! The next day, I
received another email from the company telling me the value of my contents and
they gave me the option to accept or reject the offer. Note:
If you reject the offer, they will return your items at no cost to
you. I on the other hand, accepted my
offer. They in turn mailed a check out
to me within 24 hours. I got my check in
the mail at the address I provided and deposited into my bank account. Easy peasy!!
Fantastic service & exceptional values!!
