DON'T GET RIPPED OFF

Selling Gold Through The Mail:

"I would like to say that I submitted my return kit to
(NAME OF COMPANY WITHHELD) and was terribly disappointed. The process was horribly slow. It took 15 days before my money was ever posted to my account. I mailed nearly $600 worth of gold and silver and got $39 back. I was furious!!! Now, 3 days later, I have been calling non-stop and mysteriously can't get through to their company. I feel this entire process was a scam and am mad at myself for not doing better research. I am disappointed and feel that I have been ripped off!"

Attending Gold Parties:

"I attended a gold party at a friend's house. While it was fun and I enjoyed the wine, I discovered later that the amount I received was way below what it should have been. I will never tell my friend this, but I would encourage you to sell your gold jewelry through a reputable local company if you want to get the best price."
