Sell your gold while the market is at its highest ever. Get cash for your gold so you can buy the things you want. Declutter your house of the unused old outdated gold jewelry. Use the money to save towards retirement or school fees.
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!
There has never been a better time to sell your old scrap gold. Not only have gold prices risen, but if you sell your gold at a Joe’s Gold and Silver location you can get a 16GB Apple iPad.
If you bring in 200 grams or more of your old gold jewelry, coins, and scrap gold, you won’t only get cash for your gold, but you’ll also walk out with a free iPad. Joe’s Gold staff will weigh and test the gold for you, and if you’re like most people you probably either have 200 grams of old gold jewelry collecting dust in your jewelry box (a few gold coins, a necklace, and a couple rings could quickly add up to 200 grams!) or can easily gather up 200 grams between yours, your friends’, and your family’s old gold (you can give your family and friends the cash, and keep the iPad for yourself!).
Check out your nearest Joe’s Gold and Silver location and reviews to read testimonies from other satisfied customers and stop by to get cash—and maybe an iPad—for your old gold.
Who wouldn’t love some extra cash? Whether they’re saving up for a summer vacation, paying off student loans, or just want some extra money to use on the next shopping spree, anyone can benefit from the financial freedom that selling old gold items offers.
If you own gold jewelry, coins, or scrap gold you can sell these old items for an efficient and simple way to bulk up your bank account. However, there are a few things that you should be cognizant of before you decide to sell your gold in order to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible:

Always check the current price of gold.
The price of gold fluctuates on a day-to-day basis, so it is important to find out the current price of gold to make sure that the buyer who you decide to sell your gold it is giving you the best deal possible. Gold prices are easy to find online, and are assessed using troy ounces, a type of measurement used to measure precious metals. The buyer will take into account the karat and the weight of your gold items to assess the price.
High gold prices won’t last forever.
Over the past several years the price of gold has risen sharply. For this reason, experts suggest that you sell now, while the price level remains at a high that hasn’t been observed by analysts in decades. However, as more people sell gold the price will decline, so if you’ve been thinking about selling your old gold, don’t wait too long before doing so.
Selling gold online is often a risky venture.
Online gold buyers require that you mail your gold items to them, risking that your items never reach the final destination or get lost in the mail. Furthermore, it is impossible to be sure that you’re getting the best price with online buyers, and once they have your jewelry in order to appraise it you can’t get it back. To ensure that you are getting the best price, find a store that buys gold and take your items in to be appraised in person.
All gold buyers are not created equal.
Keep in mind that gold buying is a business, and buyers are interested in making a profit. While some businesses take advantage of their customers, others do care that the customer gets a fair price for his or her gold. Before deciding on a store, research it on a site like Yelp on which you can view the comments and reviews of other customers. This way, you will know that you are dealing with an honest, reputable buyer before you go.
Timing can be everything when selling precious metals. After the January dip in prices and subsequent peak in February, the volatility of the price of gold seemed to be looming over investors. However, reports from New York earlier today noted a sharp rise in gold prices this morning, and these prices have held up very well over the entirety of the past week. Silver has also remained stable since it hit a 31-year high price earlier this week. These reports have put investors at ease and are making it the perfect time to for anyone to sell old jewelry.
Considering selling your old gold? Why not now? Holding onto old gold and silver can be detrimental if you want to maximize your profit with the unpredictability of price fluctuations. While predicting the price of gold can be a seemingly impossible task, analysts agree that now is an excellent time for the price of gold.
Your gold ‘trash’ can become treasure when you sell it for cash. Let the old, unused gold and silver collecting dust in your jewelry box work for you today while the price of these precious metals remains high. What you can do with all of the cash you get for your gold?
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!
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).
