Can I sell them my unwanted gold jewelry for cash?

Vinny

No, but if you have any lottery winnings, structured settlements or annuities, they can get you cash for them right away. It's your money, use it when you need it.

Couldn't tell you. I'm sure it's on the front of the phone book though.

When you pull yours out from under the table leg and spill your St Pauli Girl you can call 1-800-STEAMER...(Stanley Steamer gets carpets cleaner).

Well... I'm having problems gettin my weiner rigid. I'm willing to talk to my doctor before taking a med. I don't take nitrates for chest pain, or alpha blockers for prostate problems or have high blood pressure. I wouldn't drink alcohol in excess or anything like that.

I'm gonna talk to my doctor.

I heard this woman on the radio who tells me size DOES matter. But it's not the length, it's the width. I wish there was a product out there that specifically focused on the width. Perhaps a groundbreaking one.

Does anyone know what to do with a timeshare that is not being used?

I'm sure that I wouldn't get very much if I tried to sell it, and it would probably take a long time to get the cash, right?

Beware the Cash4Gold scam

Fri Feb 6, 2009 11:41AM EST

http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/null__13/null-961659403-1233937810_thumb.jpg?ymSmfwADhAx_sCfy (http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/null__13/null-961659403-1233937810.jpg?ymSmfwAD5Ia92tjm)

I don't watch much broadcast TV, and when I do I skip as many commercials as possible, but even I have seen the incessant televised advertisements for a company called Cash4Gold, and I'm sure most of you have, too (they even had a Super Bowl ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRVzF9dBl7c)). The company is being heavily promoted online as well.

The sell sounds great on the surface: You pack up all your old jewelry that you'll never wear again into an envelope and send it, insured, to Cash4Gold. They melt it down and cut you a check for the value of the gold. End of process. It sounds better than going to a pawn shop -- the process is simple and requires no personal interaction with an appraiser -- so what could go wrong?

A little online sleuthing finds that I'm not the only one who figures that if Cash4Gold has this much money to spend on TV ads, someone's getting the short end of the stick, and it's probably the people sending in their family heirlooms to be melted into ingots. The folks at Cockeyed.com put Cash4Gold to the test (http://cockeyed.com/citizen/goldkit/cheat.shtml), rounding up a bunch of old rings, necklaces, and earrings, and taking them to a regular pawn shop to be appraised. The offer: $198 for the lot. They then sent the items to Cash4Gold and waited for a check in the mail. It arrived within a few days as promised... in the amount of 60 bucks. (You don't have to accept the check; the deal isn't done until you cash it.)

That price alone is practically criminal, but that's where the truly slimy part of the operation begins. First, if you call Cash4Gold and ask for your stuff back, you abruptly get a better offer: In the case of the above experiment, the offer was a whopping $178. That's a better deal, but still not market rate, though the caller was told that Cash4Gold could "manipulate the numbers on their end" to make it appear that more product was sent than was in reality. Bizarre, but it's really the only way Cash4Gold can cover its behind to convince you the original offer wasn't a wholesale ripoff.
As bad as that is, it's far worse if you opted for the company's "Fast Cash" option. Here, that original offer ($60) is wired into your bank account within 24 hours of them receiving the booty. It sure is fast, but it's not much cash -- and you don't have the option of declining the offer at all. You're stuck with a pittance for your valuable gold items. (It's also worth noting that Cash4Gold (http://cockeyed.com/citizen/goldkit/reputation.shtml) has offered Cockeyed cash 4 removing its expose from the web...)

As a side note, another website offers an in-depth expose on how the system works (http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/cash4gold-c117648.html), this time analyzed from the inside by a former employee. Here it's outlined how the company offers bonuses to phone operators who can convince you to accept a lower offer and how the company attempts to delay payments as long as possible. It's also worth a look if you're considering sending stuff to Cash4Gold anyway and haggling for a better deal.

But if you think the Rockets are suddenly feeling the magnitude of the moment and are about to get crushed under the weight of playing a Game 7, just listen to this portion of Ron Artest's postgame interview.
"'Five Dollar Foot-long' is one of the best songs," Artest said. "That's a hot song. You've got the FreeCreditReport.com (http://freecreditreport.com/), and then 'Five Dollar Foot-long' comes on. When 'Five Dollar Foot-long' comes on, they should play that in the club. They should play all those in the club."
