Selling gold and gold prices

[lynne]

Just in case any of you are thinking of jumping on the bandwagon for selling your gold, I thought I would share this with you!

We had a little bit of gold I thought we could cash in on - my stepdaughter wanted a Wii!  In Birmingham City Centre, Rex Johnson and Co were offering £6.50 per gram.  I found a company in the Jewellery quarter and we got £8.49 per gram - a massive difference!  The website is www.scrapgolduk.com - today's price is £8.62!  If you are local to Birmingham, the chap is in the office 12 - 2pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  I was amazed at what we got for just a little bit of gold.  Avoid like the plague the ones where you post off your gold...the prices are terrible!

Interesting advert in the York Press tonight. Some company offering loans to car owners - get your money for xmas at a rate of around 435.4% APR. I don't have the paper handy but this company offers a similar deal:

Slightly off topic but in the same area

My guess is you won't be a car owner for long if you take them up on that offer
