Gold doesn't really crash.. it might dip for a month or so but it always ends up worth more. Its a limited resource that gets used in nearly all pieces of tech and its hard to recycle back from the tech aswell as other uses which give it value. If a pawn shop says the price of gold has "crashed" so they can't offer you much without telling you to sit on it and come back in a couple weeks they're probably trying to f you over. The guy I used to sell scrap gold to would always give me the average price of the last few months, where as other buyers would cut the price they will pay by big amounts depending on the price that day. Gold is highly controlled, even if someone started mining solid gold asteroids the price would drop very slowly over many decades as the entity getting the gold wouldn't want to crash the market making their asteroid mining venture worthless. Basically all of the people, governments and companies that are able to crash the price of gold are invested in not crashing the price of gold which would only happen by flooding the market with lots of cheap gold.... it ain't gonna happen.

[@sonjabertels6830]

They ripping people off they pay 200 dollars for a gold/diamond ring and they sell it for 1000 dollars that is a 500% mark up so the 5% won't affect them in the slightest the way they rip off the poor people desperate for money.Espessialy detroit lots of desperate poor people.

I instantly thought why is he over reacting and doesn't gold rise and fall all the time? I have zero experience in gold aside from wearing it but even I an idiot on the subject thought this has to be an over reaction.

[@sonjabertels6830]

@@tangatawhenua1477 they give customers who want to sell their items virtually nothing for the gold example they offer you 250 dollars for a gold diamond ring and then they sell it for 1000 dollars so when the gold prices drop that doesn't affect them the slightest with their profit margin and gold prices go up and down all the time so I don't know how he can say the shop is in trouble as they rip people of buying gold people who are poor and desperate for money they are a bunch of money greedy people it is disgusting to watch of what they pay people for items and what they sell it for I would really like to know that lady who came in with loose stones of her grandma most were glass but one stone was a very good quality big red ruby they offered her ten thousand dollars and it was probably worth much more she should of gone somewere else to have it valued but she din't and sold it to them the size of the ruby and the clarity it was probably worth 50.000 dollars the ripped off this lady big time as I know a little bit about stones with value.

[@stretchboy377]

This is so funny, they had not crystallised the loss and in fact they should have seen it as an opportunity to buy more gold.

Gold goes up and down,but overall it goes up.Keep it long enough,you win.

[@andrew_koala2974]

Actually the GOLD does not go up and down It is the currency that fluctuates against the value of GOLD for example: When the value of the currency DECREASES - one needs MORE of it to buy 1 ounce of GOLD - Thus it appears that the GOLD value has increased. People who do not know - imagine that the currency remains constant and GOLD fluctuates - when in fact the converse is TRUE The GOLD is constant and the currency fluctuates - depending on how much of it is in circulation ( in the world ) For instance - only 40% on average of the USD printed is in circulation in the USA - 60% of it is held by foreign countries. when any of that finds its way back to the USA increasing the amount in circulation - the value of the USD reduces. The principle is simple --- The MORE of something that exist the Less value it has. How much would the value of the Mona Lisa paining be if there were five thousand or even 30 of those paintings. ? Your LIFE would be worth next to nothing if there were 3000 of you in existence on this earth . ONLY because you are some'one' meaning ONE of you in existence that your life has meaning and value. Now you also know what the word some'one' means Some'body' means they are a DEAD entity --- The cemetery is full of BODIES

[@Ollie-lz5hr]

For an investors it’s not that big of a deal but I imagine most of their sales and profit margins are from selling jewellery a lot of it gold so they would have to adjust their prices accordingly bringing their profit margin down even if it’s for one day

[@lonesomeness-w6h]

When I was a young man I lived in Jerusalem . I was a candy striper in the the French Hospital hostel where Jews, Christians, and Muslims came to die when all the medical procedures were exhausted. just across from the Old City. There was a wealthy Jew who was in the last stages of stage 4 cancer. This Jew named Joseph had built a successful business in Israel and had about 50 employees. When he was just days away from dying he invited all his old employes to come to the hospital. Very touching as he gave his company to his employees to be shared equally. He died the next morning while I was aspirating him . The tube I had push down his throat to aspirate the phlegm accidently broke through his esophagus and the shock hilled him. His family was there with him. After his body was washed and wrapped his corps was taken away to be buried. A few days later the head of the hospital called me in to her office . She was there with one of Joseph's'' family . I feared the worse. Instead the family representative was there to thank me for my service. I was given 50 shekels and told they did not hold me responsible for his death. Joseph was the spitting image of Les.

Ok the price of gold , were down 5% , the pawn offered 250$ instead of 300$ witch is paying less - 16% , Cutting 5 % less like the gold down , the fair price would be 285 $ Now i start understand , why some people say , they win with ups and also with downs ahahah , the customer was rude , but she also ear about the price went sown , she choulded say only , No thank you ! ahahah...

[@hernandez5579]

I mean she was kind of right there, for a loan that's originally $300 she should've gotten $285 after that 5% drop, so she was definitely getting low balled there.

[@thesausage351]

There’s a lot more to consider when you make an offer though. Is the piece nice, or if she doesn’t get it, is it only scrap? Does she have a good history? Does she let a lot of loans go? Does she have a lot of other gold on loan? Did the office take in a lot of other gold today? Plenty to consider. The drop in gold price realistically shouldn’t have affected the loan price given, because if gold is selling for say $500 an ounce, you’re only loaning at less than 50% that amount, so you can still loan the original amount, but most likely all staff has been told to loan less on gold.

tbh. he saying the money comes from buying and selling... not really... if u pawn stuff for way less what its worth u make more... either it gets paid out or it goes into property of the pawn shop... gold worth 5000$ with a pawn of 2500$ on it cause someone needed quick cash and still might wanna get the gold back^^ if he doesnt pay the fees and is overdue by a given time it changes ownership and the shop got gold for a steal :D + the fees that where paid

Instead of bitching about gold dropping they should have really capitalised on the opportunity and bought a load of it while it was cheap,sat on it for a while then sold it when the price went back up. It's gold,it will always hold it's value in the long run,stock market and companies can crash,paper money can become worthless like it did in Germany years ago when they were carrying it around in wheelbarrows and people would steal the wheelbarrows and leave the cash,but gold will always be valuable.
