Most people already know that the current price for gold has gone way up. This makes it the most opportune time to sell gold you have had stashed away in your jewelry box for years. Getting ride of it now can possibly bring you a lot of much needed money.

The greatest hurdle you will find when it comes to selling your gold is actually finding a company with a good reputation. This is the part that puts most people off from this idea. After all, it’s easy to feel apprehensive about sending your valuable off in the mail.

Someone might currently be thinking that just taking your gold items to a local shop would be the best thing to do. However, since these places are in it for resale they won’t give you nearly as much money as your gold is really worth. By cutting out the middle man and selling straight to the refiners you are able to get more money and do it more securely for what you have to offer them.

Going online to sell your gold is a good way to find yourself getting a large check in the mail. The refiners we referred to above offer the top prices for gold. They also buy silver and platinum as well. They base the amount paid out on how much your items are actually worth, this nets you a bigger profit.

Before you go sending your gold off somewhere, make an effort needed to study and find a company you can truly trust. Check out their reputation with other customers and look in to how long they have been in business. Usually, the longer these companies have been in the gold buying business, the better they are at dealing with customers.

The way this whole process works is very easy to understand. You go to the website of the company you choose and request one of their shipping envelopes. When it arrives you drop your gold inside and mail it back to the company. Don’t worry, postage is usually covered. Once your gold is received it is evaluated and a check is printed in the amount the refiner is willing to pay. They mail this check to you and you are done. Some companies are now also doing PayPal transaction meaning you get your money even faster.

Now would be a good time to sell any unwanted gold pieces that you have. A lot of companies are beginning to advertising their search for gold so you have a lot of different ones to choose from. For even more money you can choose to sell to a company that is offering a bonus as well. This can sometimes be up to 20% more than what you would normally get.

Allow me to admit that I have always been a little mystified by the appeal of the whole party-planning industry. When I was growing up it used to be tupperware parties – every few weeks some new pastel coloured, air-tight containers would emerge in the cupboard or in my school bag. Every previously acceptable receptacle gradually replaced by a plastic version with matching lid; glasses became ‘beakers’ and cereal bowls now had a lid, the purpose of which still escapes me to this day.

In later years I realised that obviously these parties are little more than an excuse for a girls-night-out, the ladies congregate with bottles of wine and sour cream dips, shooting the breeze whilst the sales rep pedals their snake oil. If you’ve ever wondered where the decorative candle holders, plastic rotary cheese graters and acrid scented candles come from – in my experience they generally show up a week or so after one of these soirees. The key to the success of these parties is the unwritten obligation of the attendees to buy something to show support for the party hostess.

The latest party trend that has made it’s way across the Atlantic however is a different kettle of fish entirely. The Gold Selling party just seems a step too far to me. Gather 15 of your closest friends and their collection of unwanted jewellery and take it in turns to have your gold tested, weighed and bought from you. Having been convinced that the price of gold is at an all-time high and now would be the sensible time to sell, you are then put on the spot, subjected to the unspoken participation obligation and before you know it you have been parted from your formerly prized possessions for a little over half their actual value.

The rewards for encouraging your friends to part with their family jewels are lucrative indeed. Apparently the hostess of your average gold party can expect to receive a rather impressive 250-300 in commission as well as a 40 booze budget to assist in lubricating your victims.

Once again, as a male I can’t ever hope to fully understand what goes on at these party nights, but I’m pretty sure if I discovered I’d been ripped off as the result of a recommendation from a friend and they’d profited into the bargain there would be hell to pay.

If you are invited to attend a gold party, make sure you know approximately what your jewellery is worth before you attend. Remember there is absolutely no point in cashing in on the record high price of gold today if you only actually receive 2006/7 prices. At the very least you will be able to make an informed decision, if you are offered closer to 80% of your perceived value, you may consider that acceptable (after all the buyer does need to make some profit). If you are not comfortable valuing the gold yourself, take it along to a local jeweller or pawn broker beforehand. The old adage about always getting three quotes may save you money and possibly a friendship.
