You have old and broken gold jewelries, which you want to dispose of. You know for a fact that you can make money from these items for their gold content, and you intend to sell them based on that. But you should consider that your jewelries should be worth more than their gold content alone.
If you factor in its beauty and workmanship, these should add to their value. How much more? That would depend on the quality of your piece. If properly done, you can sell gold Canada and make money.
Convert Your Unwanted Gold into Cash
There is no point in hoarding your unwanted gold inside a drawer, especially when the value of gold is high. Whether these are jewelry or coins, now is the time to convert them into cash.
More and more investors are realizing the value of gold as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. For this reason, buyers abound because given the relatively small amount required for this form of investment in gold, it is within the financial capability of many.
At the same time there are those who purchase gold for industrial use. It may be for jewelry, gold plating of electronic components, dentistry-related applications, etc. Needless to say, there is a continuing strong demand for gold, which has helped in maintaining its high value.
What is the Value of Old and Broken Jewelry
Regardless of whether your jewelry is old or broken, it should sell for at least its gold content multiplied by the current price of this particular precious metal. Determination of the gold content takes into consideration the karat value as well as the gram weight. The price of gold is quoted on a per troy ounce basis. (One troy ounce equals 31.1 grams.)It should be noted that this is the minimum price that your piece should fetch. Other considerations are:
1. The beauty and craftsmanship of the item, and whether it is made by a know jeweler,
2. if it is antique or if it has collector's value, and
3. the condition/reparability of the article.
If your jewelry is being bought for its gold content alone, the buyer will place no value on any stones encased, unless these are diamonds. For this reason it is wise for you to retain these stones, when you sell gold Canada, since it will not add value to the sale anyway.
Where to Sell Your Gold Jewelry
There should be local jewelers and pawnshops in your area, which are likely to be interested in your ware. Shop around, and deal only with the reputable ones. Having knowledge of the minimum price makes it easier to haggle.

QUESTION:
Yugioh Gold Series at Crystal Mall?
I'm on vacation in vancouver and I thought I'd buy some yugioh cards. People have told me crystal mall sells a lot of yugioh cards. Does anyone know if they have Yugiho Gold Series? And if they do how much does it cost?-
ANSWER:
I live in toronto, and there's this store call Dollys that sells gold series for 25 dollars. That is the cheapest i've ever bought, whereas some asian mall i go to sells it for 40. The prices for gold series are usually range from around 25 - 40. An average one would be 30 dollars. Anything over 30, might as well get the Box of gold series with 6 packs.

QUESTION:
Soon to be homeless Our funding has gone to support the OLYMPICS 2010 Winter Games?
Hello my name is Chris I live in Vancouver British Columbia CanadaI have spent the last 3.5 years looking after my wife she came to Canada 5 years ago to be a nurse for her uncle who was dying from brain cancer.
We got married 3.5 years ago she spent the first 2 years studying English so she could go to school to be a nurse in Canada.(this was her dream)
It was hard with only one income coming into the home but with love and support I knew we could make it.
She passed English and was enrolled into nursing school she just graduated with an A- grade only for us to find out that there is no funding for her to get a job, this would normally be no problem but I lost my job 6 months ago and we are out of options. (Credit cards full bank empty)
This is the legacy the OLYMPICS have brought to British Columbia Canada
I am selling our wedding rings to pay our rent 24k gold
Our funding has gone to support the OLIMPICS 2010 Winter Games and we will be HOMELESS!

ANSWER:
Do what most good doctors and nurses from Canada do, they immigrate to the U.S. If Obama health care passes we will all need to find another country, but until that happens she can find better work and better pay down south.
