Need to sell gold jewelry - who offers a good price on it?
Gold is talked about a lot in this forum so I thought I'd ask here. I have a rather hefty class ring and a wedding band I'd like to sell for scrap, both 18 caret. What places in the Boston or New Hampshire area actually would offer a reasonable price to buy them? I've tried several, but they were beyond disappointing, offering pitiful rates around 20-30% of melt value and acting as if its a good deal. Are they kidding me? I realize they'd melt them down again, but it doesn't cost THAT much to do so.
Any suggestions?

don't do the mail ones you'll get hard core porked. go to a mall and shop it around most are pretty straight forward. My wife took some stuff and started at a cash for gold kiosk in the mall and ended up at hannoush for the best deal by about 50 bucks more

I've dealt with Ken a few times, he is a cool and a reasonable dude. I'd recommend him.

Didn't know they buy stuff like rings. Originally Posted by Boris

Thanks for all the links... Boston Bullion is pretty close by so I'll probably go with him.
The ironic thing here is I'm selling the wedding band then buying a nearly identical wedding band after that. I'm sure my fiancee would not be happy if I reused a wedding band from the evil ex-wife days.

LOL, evidently no. She's the exact opposite of the ex psycho bee itch in every way though. So, hopefully it'll work out. Originally Posted by PennyPincher
