    Default BrokenGold

    Well I sent in some of my gold on 8-7 that I didn't wear anymore that was just sitting in my jewelry box. I sent 8 throw-away type chains and 7 bracelets, mostly thin ones and one small gold ring. Some of the pieces were 10K but most were the 14K. I weighed the envelope before mailing and it was 2 1/4 oz. I received a check today for $92.40, I'm thrilled! I was thinking I probably wouldn't get more than about $25 and I would have been happy with that amount! If anyone is hesitant, they do pay up...probably not a great deal but I didn't wear these things anyway and now I can buy something at Disney when we go in October!

    I haven't opened the Broken Gold envelope yet. Do you have to insure it when you send? Thanks!

    WOOT! For extra spending money at DISNEY!


    Now I will have to keep an eye out for some old gold at yard/grage sales!


    Btw did they give you a breakdown of what each was worth or just everything you sent and a check is all you got back!

    I didn't but my stuff wasn't worth very much, just sealed the envelope and tossed it in the post office box...look on the website, it says something about that they insure up to a certain amount if it gets lost, if you are sending valuable things like diamonds etc. I definitely would insure it.

    Thanks for sharing about this! We're going to WDW in about a month and I would love some extra spending money! Now, I just have to find the envelope!

    Thanks so much. I'll check out the website. Nothing valuable here either, just stuff!
