Almost everyone in the world has old gold and used jewelry in their dresser drawers, safe deposit box, or jewelry box. Some of this stuff hasn’t been used in years or is simply out of date. Maybe someone gave you a piece of jewelry and you don’t wear it anymore. Now more than ever you can convert this used, old and obsolete jewelry into real money. Did you know that you can do this over the Internet safely? There are a few things to keep in mind when doing so:
1. How long has the buyer of your gold been operating on the Internet? Minimum of 5 years would be good.
2. Does the buyer have a physical mailing address instead of a PO Box and where their package can be signed for with proof of receipt?
3. Does the buyer belong to the Better Business Bureau’s BBBOnLine program?
4. Can the buyer reverse the transaction in a few days (3 days maximum) instead of a few weeks?
5. Does the buyer have the means to pay you quickly through an online payment system directly to you?
6. Does the buyer keep track of his order and keep it updated by email?
7. Does the buyer offer a fair price for their scrap and used gold or unused gold and jewelry? As of January 8, 2008, around $15.00 ppw is fair and reasonable.
8. Does the buyer ensure your confidentiality? That your sale will be kept completely confidential?
If the answer is NO to any of these questions, go to the next internet shopper and ask the same questions again until you get YES answers to each and every question.
Selling your old and scrap gold has never been easier and safer over the Internet once you have found a “qualified buyer”. Again, a qualified buyer answers yes to each and every one of the questions above.
Selling your old, used, and scrap gold over the Internet will help you get a higher payout than if you sold it to your local pawn shop or jewelry store. Word of advice. DO NOT SELL YOUR SCRAP GOLD TO ANY PAWN SHOP. You will receive only pennies on the dollar and will have to fill out extensive paperwork. On the internet, there is NO paperwork to fill out and since there is less overhead to process your scrap gold, you will get paid much higher.
Once you’ve found a qualified buyer for your scrap, old or used gold, and jewelry, the redemption process (getting your cash back) should be easy.
Go to any office supply store and buy a secure, reinforced envelope. This is a mailing envelope that is reinforced to prevent breakage or easy access by anyone after it has been sealed. Anyone at the office supply store can help you locate this type of envelope or we’ll send you one FREE.
1. Place all scraps in the envelope after addressing it to the buyer. Make sure you always have a return address on the mail.
2. Always use the United States Postal Service (USPS) when shipping your package. We have never lost a package through the United States Postal Service. Why? It is a federal crime for anyone to take possession (even touch it, except postal workers) of US mail other than the intended recipient (the company it is sent to). This is not the case with FedEx, UPS or DHL. Obviously, never reveal what’s inside a valuable package. Insure it for $100.00 (a little extra security) and then mail it to the buyer.
3. You should receive confirmation within 3-5 business days after your scrap gold has been shipped.
4. The buyer will send you an email confirming receipt of your scrap gold and jewelry.
5. The buyer will do some testing on your old and used gold, weigh it and make you an offer to buy. You accept the price or reject the price offered to you. If you refuse it, the package will be returned to you.
6. If you accept the price offered for your old, used and scrap gold, the buyer will send you your payment by company check or instant payment via your valid email address. It should be that simple!
Why not turn old, unworn gold jewelry into cash over the Internet? There is no better time than right now. Use the cash for some new jewelry or use the cash for a vacation or maybe some new furniture! Whatever you put your money to, it’s now safer and easier than ever to exchange your old gold and jewelry for cash today through the advancements and protections of the Internet.
