The only way you can try and secure a deal in which you feel is fair, is by selling privately.
Pawn-Brokers, companies like the ones mentioned, they will never offer a decent amount.
On one of the adverts, I noticed they use a Pre-Paid envelope, which advertises the fact your jewellery is inside, and claim that jewellery is insured for the maximum of £500 only.
About ten years ago, I was advised to buy jewellery. Mainly as an asset, and if only i had listened, and bought more, then i’d have possibly made a fair sum around about now! But saying that, Gold has always been worth buying, and always will be.
I did consider selling my chain, but wouldn’t have sent it to one of these companies! I won’t even wear it now, if Gold at the moment is very much sought after, then wearing/flashing your jewellery, is just asking for trouble.. Especially if they’re of a great value, and especially if you’re in inapproriate areas. Do you agree?
