So ever since I saw the first "Post all your most valuable gold jewellery to such-an-such-a gold place and we'll pay you hundreds (yes, hundreds!!) of pounds for it..." ad on the telly, I've been wondering why on earth people would fall for such a thing. Why, oh why, would I want to part with jewellery of probable high sentimental value for a few quid, if a) there's a big chance it gets stolen in the mail, b) i can't guarantee I'll get a fair price, c) i can show my boobs and bargain with the man in the pawn shop and get a better deal, and d) it belonged to my great-great-great grandmother!

A little diggin of my own revealed so many damn websites offering to pay me top prices for my gold that I feel like throwing up with the pressure of advertising and Big Rewards, and my head spins with "All that you could do with your new cash.. yes... CASH!!!"

I found a better way to make money from gold, thank you very much. I can buy a gold coin through people like this, who look a lot more professional and are not some fad postal service. If I want i can even really get into it and buy a gold bullion (I didn't even know you could do that??!!! what would i do with a gold bullion purchase.. hmmm.. put it on a bling necklace and be hot like Mr.T, me thinks). Plus, there was a story on the news of those postal people paying too little for your gold. I mean, really, what did you expect?!


Moral of the rant: go to someone safe like these nice people at gold coins gain and get them to manage your gold for you. Any trade it in big shiny blocks, rather than selling your great-great-great grandmother's wedding ring.
