Gold Prices Spiking: Time to Trade Gold for “Mad Money” for Your Summer Vacation?

On Wednesday morning, March 30, gold prices reached an unbelievable rate of $1,429.75 per ounce. Analysts believe the latest jobs report might be partially responsible for this "high water mark." How much longer will gold, silver, and other key commodities sell at high value? The answer is uncertain; some experts suggest that, as the economy improves, the stability of gold prices will falter. Other economists make opposite predictions.

What do these complicated economic trends mean for you? Essentially, if you own gold jewelry, artwork, or collectibles that you have been considering trading in for cash, now may be THE time to pull the trigger, assuming you want to optimize your return on investment.

By liquidating gold for cash now, you can use your freed-up funds to pay down any federal or California state taxes you might owe, pay off credit card debts, and stock up your IRAs for 2010 (while there's still time) to minimize your 2010 tax consequences.

On a more fun note… the money you get from trading gold for cash can be used to buy “treats” for yourself and your family over the summer. For instance, maybe you can use the proceeds you collect for selling mismatched jewelry, broken chains, estate jewelry, and scrap gold to pay for a well-deserved vacation to Belize.

Or perhaps you can trade in antique silver teapots, gold flatware, or even dental gold to pay for two weeks of summer camp for your children (i.e. two weeks of blessed “free time” for you and your spouse).

At Joe’s Gold and Silver, a family owned and operated business with a terrific reputation, we guarantee to pay more for your gold and silver than anyone else. Call us today at 818-JOE-GOLD, or visit any one of our four California locations in Encino, Hawaiian Gardens, Lawndale, or Beverly Hills.

Liquidate the gold you find during spring cleaning to fund a dreamy summer of 2011!

A Shockingly Powerful Spring Cleaning Resource: Sell Old Gold to Generate Cash Flow

Gold prices are going up again. But for how long?

With Spring 2011 about to bloom, homeowners (and renters) around the country are facing that age old question: when are we going to get the “spring cleaning” job done?

Decluttering is a natural part of emerging from the hibernation of winter. It gives us the opportunity to refresh, renew, get rid of old junky things, and trade in things that we’ve let accumulate in our lives for new, more enriching things. To wit, spring cleaning is an awesome time to locate and purge old jewelry, accessories, pocketbooks, knickknacks, and other notions. Many of these pieces may contain gold, silver, platinum, jewels, or other precious ornamentation – so you certainly don’t want to just throw them away. But can you make use of these “spring cleaning finds” to generate spare cash?

The answer: yes. Here’s the three-step process:

#1. Purge and set aside any jewelry, bags, or other pieces that you’d be willing to sell or trade.

#2. Get those pieces appraised at Joe’s Gold. Our professionals can make sure that you get top dollar for any gold (or other metals) you trade-in. Learn more about our process, history, and credentials at www.joesgold.com.

#3. Take the money you’ve earned from trading in your gold for cash to invest in spiffing up your home, buying a present for a loved one, or treating yourself to some indulgence that you’ve been putting off all winter (such as a day at the spa or a night on the town).

How to $core as Gold Prices Soar!

Did you know that the price for just one ounce of gold is currently at
$1,350, and more than $1,650 for platinum? With price tags like this, it's
more worth it than ever to go through your old, broken, or unwanted gold and
silver and *sell, sell, sell!*



So what kind of gold can you sell? Gold class rings, engagement rings,
platinum jewelry and even mismatched jewelry. You might also be surprised to
know that you can sell scrap gold and silver jewelry like broken chains,
watches, earrings and even your old dental gold—all of these items are worth
their weight in cold, hard cash from reputable buyers. A good example is Joe’s
Gold and Silver <http://www.gold2cashexchange.com>.



Even though precious metal prices fluctuate on a daily basis, Joe’s always
gives you the highest price available for your gold. At Joe’s, they
calculate your payout based on real, current spot gold prices. There are no
hidden fees or charges and the gold is tested right in front of you,
weighed, and then you are given the price for your gold. If you are happy
with it, they simply pay you with cash.



You can also host (and earn commission from) one of Joe’s famous Gold
Parties, where you and your friends gather with your broken or unwanted
jewelry and a Joe’s representative tests, weighs and examines everyone’s
gold for payout. Gold Parties are also a great way to raise money for a
cause or an organization.



So, think you’re ready to sell? Here are some final pointers:

-Be creative and thorough. You never know where the best gold will turn up
in your belongings (remember, it might even be in your mouth!)



-Check the gold price daily. When the price of gold is high, you will always
earn more money, which is why now is a great time to sell gold.
 -Know what you’re selling. Determine if your jewelry is real, and whether
it’s silver, gold, or platinum. Search your gold jewelry for the karat
number that indicates the percent of gold it is made of.



-The more you sell the more you get. Scrap gold buyers work on a graduated
pay-scale, so the more gold you have, the more you will get per ounce. When
selling scrap gold, always sell as much as you possibly can at once.



-Negotiate. Any reputable buyer should have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
So don’t sell your gold until you are truly happy with the price you have
been given.
