How Much do we pay for Gold?
The gold market is constanly fluxuating so I can not give you an exact amount estimate...but...
Each item is different, so I will determine weight and quality of the gold when I receive it and pay you the top and going rate of the market for the day it is received.
We pay you per gram. With a sample of $903, ( Feb 15-08) an ounce for 24k, 99.9% pure , then we buy your gram of 14k for $17, 10k for $12.14.
There is a smelting charge of $20 per ounce....so...for example...if you have 1/2 oz the charge would be $10.
Before we can use your Gold we send it to the Smelter and have the impurities and alloys removed and then made into clean 14k or 18k sheet ( etc ) ,so we can use it to make new products.
The Process
First, I would suggest you go through your old gold and find items that have the content stamped on the inside or back.
Next, For your Files...Put each karat type into separate bags, ( a 10k bag..a 14k bag )... and record it's weight. The Post Office has scales that measure in grams. This is for your own record so there is no questions as to how much you are sending. I will verify this when the package is received.
Then, mail it off with the appropriate insurance to:
Frank Marasco, Box 147, Dewdney, B.C., V0M 1H0, Canada, ( phone - 604-814-2327-(bear)
or cell-604-614-1853
- Please do not put ' Bearclaw' or 'Jewelry' on the outside of the package . Ship Registered and Express if you wish.
( regular mail takes about 10-12 working days and Express takes about 5 to 6 days.)
- and most Importantly.... please write a note for the inside stating that it is a returned item for repair or resale, ( so Customs will not hold the item for Import Taxes)
F.A.Q
Q: Is my gold package insured when I ship it ?
A: You can insure a Jewelry package via Mail up to $500
Q: I don't know if the gold I have is real gold.
A: Everything sold in North America and Europe will have a stamp on it signifying the gold content....it would be a 10k, or 14k etc...stamp, usually on the inside or back side of the item.
A 'GF' stamp means it is gold filled.
Q: What content is my gold Nugget?
A: Nuggets are usually from 18k to 22k on average. Nuggets have impurities and it is rare to fine a nugget that is ' pure 'gold .
