Don't go anywhere near the ones that advertise on TV, they need to fund all that advertising and they do it by not paying the going rates for gold. My husband sent off 60 grams of gold to cashmygolduk and received a cheque by return for £70. I knew that was a poor return so returned the cheque asked for the jewelery to be returned. I also asked what they paid per gram but was told that 'it was not their department so they couldn't say'. After waiting 3 weeks the jewelery finally arrived. I then did a comprehensive search and found a company that advertises the price it is paying per gram, everything has to be itemised and weighed before sending off. So I sent the items off once more, within 48 hours I had a phone call saying that they would pay £490. Needless to say I accepted the offer, the man I spoke to was concerned about the postal troubles and rather than post a cheque for the amount actually paid it straight into our account. Hope this helps anyone considering selling their old gold-do your research first!
