Ill be interested to see the outcome aswell. I have noticed that gold on ebay usually goes for spot or more so you may want to think about going that route. Ebay takes 3% lol Anyway Good Luck and HH
I recently (this month) sold 62 grams (2.015 Troy oz's Wt) of gold jewelry to Midwest Refineries. Turn around time was 10 days from shipping the gold to receiving a check from them.
Market price was $870.00, After the melt down my net was $995.15.
You need to remember they only pay you 94% after the melt down, Not 94% before the melt down. They need to extract the other alloys before a true Assay Yield is determined, Then they take their 6 percent and give you the balance of 94 percent Payable to you.
Still, A heck of allot better than a local pawn shop
Selling on EBay many times can be a pain. It is always nice to get what we hope for or imagine, but rare, at least in in my life. Maybe some others are luckier.....My EX got the mine, I got the shaft..
It is still more then $700 which isn't too bad considering you had fun finding it.........
I recently scrapped my wedding bands, and other plain rings from the '07 season, (except for the diamond rings) and got back a nice check for $2414 from Midwest. Quick turn around to. And like "Murphy's Law", Gold went much higher right after that... Oh well, Back in the water I go. Good luck.
