Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   In the new Health Care law do you have to give a 1099 for gold sales?
   Does the new Health Care Law stipulate that individuals who have gold coins (at least 0 worth) and decide to sell them have to provide a 1099 form? Does this apply to all other property sales over 0?

2. QUESTION:
   How long does it take to get 15m from runescape gold sales.?
   Just an estimate on days or hours.

   • ANSWER:
     Well, I bought 5M the other day. Everyone knows the updates, so you have to let the powerfarmers get on your account and farm it for you. The 5M took 2 days, so 15M will take about 6 days im guessing; im sure all the power farmers get the gold the same way.

3. QUESTION:
   Why did the FED decide to track gold sales over 600 dollars?

   healthcare reform gem:

   1099 Form requires all vendors starting in 2012... if the business purchases 0 or more in goods or services in a year from that vendor.
   Currently a business is only required to issue 1099s for payments for services, not goods, purchased from individual persons, not corporations, if the total payments to that person exceed 0 a year.

   • ANSWER:
     they didn't. What you are referring to is the 1099 reporting requirement of any and ALL transactions in all sales of any item 0 or more. This was part of the health care law that passed. This provision was slipped into the bill. Remember that the Speaker of the House said "We have to pass the bill so we can find out what's in it." This was one of those provisions that nobody knew about until the bill was passed.

     It would have effected the gold and silver markets the most because many gold and silver transactions in the physical market are not subject to 1099 reporting.

     Yes, by law because it is labeled a 'charity auction & fund raising' some of the money had to go towards the specified cause. The question is HOW much. Some `charities` give as little as %1 or less to their cause. They can still legally call themselves a charity however because they are giving a percentage of the money they get. I don't know exactly how much money Superpoke pets give, but they do give some.

    When traveling to yard and garage sales, how can you tell real gold jewelery from fake?
    I have no idea what to look for.

    Is there a quick and easy way to determine the real from the fake without having to buy it first?

    • ANSWER:
      On earrings, a tiny stamp is found on the post or hook. On bracelets and necklaces, it is found on the clasp. The stamp will be either 9k, 10k, 14k, or 18k. Take a magnifying glass with you, it is small. 9k is british gold, 10k is standard gold, 14 and 18k is high quality (less impurities). All of these are gold. Beware of a stamp that says 14kgp, it's gold plated, or a thin layer of gold over a base metal. If it doesn't have a stamp, it isn't gold. Vermeil is another gold coating heated onto copper or silver, and looks very brassy. Also not gold. Good luck with your gold digging!

14. QUESTION:
    How to get the highest sales price for a few German gold coins in New York City (Manhattan)?
    I own 5 coins. They are each 20 Deutsche Reich Mark, dated 1913, 1913, 1893, 1904 and 1912. What's the approximate value?

    • ANSWER:
      I believe, (off the top of my head), that these coins are about 1/5 ounce gold. They are, however, somewhat scarcer than other European gold coins. I would take them to a larger coin dealer, (R.M. Smythe is in manhattan I believe, they are very old and prestigious). They would give you fair value immediately. Items like this, though, sell well on Ebay and you may make more there.

      To get more details about the coin, I would look at World Coins and their values, and look the coins up. Many libraries will have this book, as well as many large bookstores, (not that I am telling you to just use a book in a bookstore.....).

23. QUESTION:
    How do you go about purchasing gold coins?
    The treasury website offers 1oz gold coins for sale.
    Gold dealers tell me that the treasury sells only something called "proof" coins which are more expensive.
    Can anyone help with this confusion?
    Jim Crow. What the heel are you talking about?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends a bit on why you are buying gold coins. Proof coins are more expensive because they are intended as collectibles. The regular "business strike" coins are intended primarily as bullion.
      If you are buying bullion and don't care about the collectible aspect, most coin dealers will sell you Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, or US Eagles, all of which contain one Troy ounce of gold and sell for slightly more than the gold spot price.
      Here is one major bullion dealer's current price list, to give you an idea of what is available and at what price:

    I want to sale them with my mom but how old do you have to be?

      Good luck!

    I want to buy and sale Gold in the Gold Market as Investment ?
    I want to know where i can learn & the best way to buy and sale and is it a good investment or not .. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      No it's not a good investment! How do you value gold? It doesn't have earnings, a balance sheet, income statement, or cash flows. So how do you value it?

      You are just guessing and although there will be 20 investors here that will disagree with me because they made money, traditionally it is not a good investment.

      Look for a good stock instead. You can make more informed decisions.

31. QUESTION:
    What are Platinum, Gold, and Silver for music? How much sales is that?
    If an album goes Platinum/Gold/Silver, how much is that? Like how much copies sold is each one?

    • ANSWER:
      The RIIA (Recording Industry Association of America) has established the benchmark for a Gold Record as the sale of 500,000 units. Units are defined as sales through retail outlets, record clubs, rack jobbers, and all ancillary markets that legally distribute music. Sales of a million units is recognized by a Platinum Record and, if appropriate, a Multi-Platinum Record. In 1998 the RIAA initiated the Diamond Record awards which honor sales of 10 million copies of an album or single.

      The Silver Record award is also called Diamond, so in this instance it goes after Gold.

32. QUESTION:
    Taxes on the sale of Gold and Silver coins?
    I want to sell some old solid gold and silver coins. At what dollar amount do I have to declair this sale on my next year taxes. The sale will probably be less than 0.
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      If you are filing a return, then you'd have to declare the sale if the sale price is higher than whatever you paid for them in the first place. The sale would be treated as collectibles gain, so would be taxed at a different rate than other capital gains.

33. QUESTION:
    sales of gold bars...?
    procedure they follow in accquiring and selling the gold bars through banks

    • ANSWER:
      I am not aware of any banks that acquire or sell gold bars. Bullion sales are done by coin and precious metals stores. You walk in and tell them what you want, and they sell it to you at retail prices.

      You decide the price has gone up enough to make a profit and you walk in to the coin and precious metals store and tell them you want to sell the bars. They will buy them at Whole Sale Prices.

      Since you buy bullion at retail and sell at whole sale prices, the bullion needs to go up considerably before you can make a profit.

If coin dealers are out of all American Gold coins including American Gold Eagles too, would you buy a Canadian Maple Leaf or a South African Krugerrand? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/28/us-mint-suspends-sale-of_n_129960.html
    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2008/08/gold-market-bul.html

    • ANSWER:
      It's not just happening in Gold. Silver bars smaller then 100oz are difficult to find and have a premium be charged on them because of their small size.

      With the US bail out and the European bail out people are switching what they can into precious metals as a hedge against inflation.

36. QUESTION:
    where do I sale my raw gold and diamond?
    I have about 4 Pound of gold and some diamond to sale. Could someone tell me how to find a buy? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Uh -huh.

      4 pounds (avoirdupois) would be approximately 48 troy ounces, spot price of 24K gold is currently 3.50 US/ Troy ounce, so if your gold is 18K, for example we get 3.50 * 48 * 18/24 = ,600 at spot.

      I have no expertise in diamonds, you may have to talk to a jeweler.

      There are people on the web who pay cash for scrap gold, but be advised they generally pay well under spot prices.

      What form is the gold in? Coins or bars are much more easily sold than scrap.

37. QUESTION:
    Sales of Gold?
    I have some gold jewellery (22K and 24K gold) which I do not want. Do you know of anywhere in Singapore where I can sell them into cash??

    • ANSWER:
      Go to Little India, where the place is crawling with gold merchants. The merchants sell gold by weight plus a margin for the jewelry. But when they buy, they just buy according to weight. Do not expect to get anything back because it is jewelry. Also, you won't get as good a price as the "buying" price of gold. However, you'll still recover a good part of your gold value.

38. QUESTION:
    Do you think gold is over valued?
    There's so much hype surrounding gold sales. What kind of investment is it really? Would silver be a better investment?

    • ANSWER:
      If you were to compare the relative values of things as they are now and as they were 50 years ago, it does appear as though gold might be overvalued. The interesting speculation would be would would the value of gold have been if its price had not be set by governments at that time. The value of gold is inversely correlated to the value of government paper. At the moment there is not too much faith in the value of government paper. Perhaps rightfully so.

39. QUESTION:

Are there any buyers whio pay in the ballpark of 10 or 15 percent below spot price. I understand they need to make a profit but not by ripping me off

40. QUESTION:
    Can a jewelry store sell real diamonds/gold rings on sale?
    For example if the market value of a ring is 00 because of the diamond and gold on it, how can a jewelry store sell it on sale for sale 00?

    Thinking about Kay Jewelers compared to a local jeweler. Kay Jewelers has an anniversary sale so I wonder if its a deal or is the Kay Jewelers stuff a lower quality?

    • ANSWER:
      Most jewelry in jewelry stores is marked up about 200%- or more. Therefore, they can take off quite a bit and still make a profit.

      Diamonds are hard when it comes to pricing. The value has to do with the color, clarity, cut and carat weight. Unless you are an expert, it would be difficult to determine if one diamond is worth more than another. A one carat diamond could be less valuable than a 1/2 carat diamond of a much higher quality.

      Then there is the price of gold. It has gone up recently so if the gold was purchased a few years ago, the jeweler paid a lot less than current price for it.

      This is really a job for an expert - or a jeweler that you really trust.

42. QUESTION:
    Know anyone who has worked at Gold's Gym? Are their sales goals unrealistic?
    I have worked in the fitness field for over two years and recently offered a job at Gold's. Before I take it, I want to know how realistic it is to be on call for 50+ hours a week between 9am-9pm and still reach my quota of 125 memberships a month.

    • ANSWER:
      I know someone personally who worked at Gold's Gym who was able to sell 30 memberships a day. I kid you not. And I am not saying that you need to do that. But if you break it down, if you average 5 memberships a day during the week, then you will meet your quota. The way my friend was successful was by first becoming a walking billboard of fitness. Then he learned about his product really well. And lastly, he was really creative in applying his knowledge and had fun with it. It boils down to you feeling comfortable with selling that many memberships. And know this, sales is a learned skill like any other.

    Can you explain the difference in quality between gold flatware?
    I would like to purchase a set of gold flatware. I see reference to different material composition of the sets for sale - 24-karat, gold plated, gold electroplated, gold tone on bronze. I do not notice significant difference in the price between the different kinds of gold.The set would be used on a regular basis.

    What kind would be recommended? Any other advice is appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      All the gold platings you mentioned are the same.
      I will tell you the truth, Gold flatware is a pain -in-the-*ss to use every day. It wears off quickly especially spoons, water spots very bad.Do not put in the dishwasher.You would have to hand dry every piece if you can't handle the spots.
      We had a set that was used 2-3 times a month, and after 3 years sold it in a yard sale for .00. I don't recommend.
