    I used them about a month ago, I took the same items to town an they actually wanted to pay about 15 bux less, I just wanted to try it so sent the items in 2-3days later got the amount they were willing to pay and after agreeing it was 1-2days and they put the money in paypal, I would definitly recommend them

    Im going to try it. What about old rings that have stones in them. Do I just remove them or send them in too?

    I thought about using red swan, it is endorsed by racheal ray and the people they had on her show one day were raking in the money!
    http://www.redswan.com/

    the site also states

    If you are not absolutely satisfied with your payment, you may simply notify us at 1-888-309-SWAN within 10 days of the date on the check and return the check to us. The item(s) will then be returned to you free of charge

    I just watched one of those investigative shows (20/20, dateline.. something like that) where they did a comparison of some of those companies (including cashforgold) and Cashforgold came out as a rip off. They offered something like $80 for $400 worth of gold. They interviewed the owner and he said that he offered $80 because thats how much it was worth to him.

    Personally I would try to find a local company to sell to. At the very least, go to someone to find out the value so that you don't get ripped off.

    I agree. I've seen all kinds of news reports about these companies, and none of them got a good review.

    I agree as well. I was thinking about doing this to. But I know there are alot of local places doing it now that I would do local. PLus I would make them weigh it and give me the quote BEFORE I handed over my gold.

    Your best bet would be to go to a jewlery store, they pay pretty well.

    another thing I have heard is that the envies that you send the jewelry back in, have become quite recognizeable to those that work in the post office, and the items end up being stolen.

    (no offense to anyone who works for the post office....I'm just reporting what I heard. lol)
