Joe's Gold Takes Spring Cleaning to a New Level


Spring has sprung (it has been springing for a while now), and there is no longer time to procrastinate the dreaded spring cleaning. While there are some who thrive off of decluttering and trashing unwanted and unnecessary belongings, most people do not enjoy the long hours spent slaving over deciding which dust collecting, sentimental items are worth keeping, and which (come on, be realistic – that ugly sweater your grandma knit for you will never, ever see the light of day) belong in the garbage. However, when you go through your collection of knotted, broken, or tangled jewelry, do NOT head for the trash can! 

Most people don’t realize how valuable an old gold bracelet can be. While you (or any one else you know) may never wear it again, have you ever considered trading it in for cash? While it may not look like it is worth much at first glance, the gold market is thriving due to the current state of the economy. However, these high gold and silver prices will not last forever. Now is an opportune time to sell your old gold and silver items for cash. To find out how much your gold and silver items are worth, you can visit a gold and silver buyer location near you who can give you an accurate quote.

Instead of walking away from the trashcan after dumping (no pun intended) your jewelry that your ex’s gave to you, you can walk away with cash that you never realized you could earn!  Who would have thought spring cleaning could pay off like this? 

Joe's Gold Supports the Troops


Joe’s Gold and Silver is currently sponsoring Operation Gratitude, an organization dedicated to showing appreciation for our soldiers’ commitment to and personal sacrifices for our country. While members of America’s armed forces are constantly putting the needs of our country before their own, Operation Gratitude aims to let every soldier know that his or her immense dedication and hard work does not going unnoticed.  This volunteer-based corporation’s mission is to remind each soldier of the good wishes and support coming to them from civilians all over the US. Operation Gratitude sends individualized care packages complete with food items, hygiene products, entertainment gifts, and personal letters of appreciation to Wounded Warriors and deployed members of all US military branches. These packages truly help to brighten soldiers’ days, and provide them with much-needed comforts of life back home. 

So how does Joe’s Gold and Silver play a role in this program? Operation Gratitude is completely privately funded, and thus relies solely on private donations. Here’s how Joe’s contributes to lifting the morale of our troops: First, a customer can bring in unwanted gold or sterling silver items to any Joe’s location. Next, all he or she must do is mention Operation Gratitude, and not only will Joe’s pay the customer in cash for the value of his or her items, but Joe’s Gold and Silver will also donate 20% of that amount directly to Operation Gratitude. Customers can even go a step further, and donate their own portion of the proceeds to Operation Gratitude. Joe’s will send a letter acknowledging receipt of that amount for the customer’s tax purposes. An act this simple makes such a difference for those who give their lives for our country!

This is a definite win-win deal for both the troops as well as anyone who trades gold or silver for cash. Just by selling old gold and silver items to Joe’s for cash, patrons are able to contribute to Operation Gratitude. Donating couldn’t be any more effortless! Joe’s customers are able to walk out the door with a pocket full of cash, topped off with the satisfying feeling that their actions are supporting a worthy cause.

Gold Parties the Perfect Option for Extra Funds this Mothers’ Day

Mothers’ Day is right around the corner (May 8th!), and if you’re looking for a simple, enjoyable way to make money to buy mom something special, hosting a gold party is the perfect option for you.

Hosting a gold party is simple.  All that you need to do is invite your friends and family to come over and bring their old, broken, or unwanted jewelry with them. 

Then, ask a reputable gold buyer to help out by testing, weighing, and examining all of the gold that your guests have brought to the party.  Just as if your guests had taken their gold into a gold buying store, the buyers will pay your guests cash for their gold on the spot.  As the host, you will receive a commission, as well.  Gold parties are a win-win for all involved, especially with gold prices as high as they have been recently.

Whether it’s for Mother’s Day, a fundraiser, or just to get some extra cash for yourself, gold parties are an excellent option.  Even better, you can let the gold buyer do all of the work for you—all you have to do is invite the guests and decide what you will do with all of the extra money!
