Cash for Gold Parties!!
I went to one tonight with a bag of crap. Some gold chains, charms, pendants, a few sterling rings and walked out with $545. Im in SHOCK.
Have one or go to one. You'd be surprised how much you get and for what. There were ladies leaving with $2000, $1400, $400 CASH for stuff they were embarrassed to give the lady.
Im having one in June, so mark your calenders ladies and dig up all your old jewelry and make some serious cash. Ill send out an evite.
I also have a sterling silver flatware set in a fancy wooden box that my ILs got from a garage sale and gave to us years ago, the lady said those things are worth $1500+. DH wont let me sell it. Im pissed. Its in our closet, we've never used it, never will and it takes up space. Im tempted to empty it but leave the box in the closet. He'll never know.
Re: Cash for Gold Parties!!
Oh yes, you can make good money off of those as well. Ask my neighbor's son who robbed my mother last summer...he made great money off of it (amongst other things). I researched the cost to replace it for insurance, you would be amazed at how much it is worth based upon the replacement value (especially if it is "older")
cool! i think i can dig up some gold, i was thinking about this the other day saying i need to go to a gold party!!!
When DH had my e-ring picked out and was paying it off was when the gold prices really took off, he sold a bunch of stuff he had to help pay down my ring.
hahah i have one of these too!
My name plate!! I still have mine from when I was 8 years old with a little diamond over the "i" haha. Maybe I have some stuff to scrounge up as well. I'm more of a costume jewelry girl but I have have some pieces here and there.
I had one a few years ago, and was also shocked at the money i got from all the stuff. I dont think i have anything left thought that I would get rid of.
Keeping my name ring, and name bracelet. I think thats the only Gold I have left, unless i can find something! lol
I don't think I can part with my nameplate either however I do have lots of other stuff and a name ring that can go...
Holy crap! That sucks big time. Sorry you all had to deal with that.
Siobhan and Melanie...thanks! It was really horrible and all happened around the time of my dd's birth. The sad thing is, he was our neighbor's son...out neighbor who we have written out of our lives. I mean after all my mom and dad did for his mother...and to steal his wedding ring? the only bracelent my mother ever got from her deceased grandchild? ugh...i could go on... I hope he enjoyed the heroin. ***.
And a nameplate and name ring? I must have been way out of the loop! The most I have is a signet ring with an initial and diamond chip! That could totally go.....
im so sorry sage
My BIL is a recovering addict but stole jewlery and other things from his parents. its a pathetic life. Luckily he got help and is doing well.
