Tips For Buying Diamond, Gold And Silver Jewelry
They say that everybody needs a hobby; mine is buying other people’s junk. I’m not like some of the people you see on television (neither in how I buy it or that I horde it) but I do spend most of my weekends going to tag sales, flea markets, estate sales and other places. I’m pretty judicious with what I buy, and if I don’t think I can sell if for a profit or want it for my house, I’ll pass. Lately I’ve been buying lots of jewelry to take advantage of the cash for gold rush that seems to happening, and I’d like to pass along a couple of tips for buying gold and silver jewelry. As you may have noticed, many places are offering cash for jewelry and asking you to sell jewelry for cash. The reason for this is that supply is nowhere meeting demand, so they are looking for diamond, gold, silver and other precious metals anywhere they can find it. It’s important to remember the people that are offering cash for jewelry aren’t doing it to resell the jewelry, but simply to get the raw materials. This means when I am out at a sale and I come across some jewelry that feels like the real thing but is broken or otherwise damaged, I’m not afraid to make an offer. The jewelry store that does my gold buying from me isn’t concerned with the condition of the jewelry so neither am I. They’re happy to get rid of jewelry they don’t want and I potentially have a decent profit sitting in my hands.
