Selling Gold....Did I get robbed?

selling some gold at the market.
#scrapfarm #reseller #gold #vintage

[@TacoStacks]

My pawn shop pays 72% of gold price, my gold guy who I sell to pays 80% of gold so it seems like that is the ballpark number to sell gold to a middle man. What I would say though if you ever sell to someone who buys gold or silver find one that doesn't buy costume jewelry. By them not buying costume jewelery you eliminate the feeling of "did I get taken advantage of and was this actually gold but he said it wasn't". At least in my experience.

[@ScrapFarm]

The biggest thing is digging into it and learn how to do it yourself.... But like anything that will come with time and experience. I'm just been stacking it away.....but Jan was super light on income

[@jodybrimer244]

my gold guy in alabama pays 92% if i got large quantities i can get 95 . hey you making money thats all that matters .that 18k could have been sized next time check the side of the ring

[@anthonypiligno7618]

That is a good point because he was scratching it right where it would be sized.... That is why I say you only way you can trust anyone is your self....

[@junkin]

@@ScrapFarm iirc bluebus was saying brian pays the best and makes his money by just buying enough that he profits from bulk sales when the market is high. I myself know at least 3 guys who are always paying whatever the market is.. but obviously with class rings ur gonna get knocked down a % since the stone is worthless.

[@joconnor3567]

So difficult to feel comfortable when you don’t sell regularly. Selling my mother’s left me feeling that I was totally at the mercy of the gold merchant. Oh well…….

[@catladynj]

Put the cash in your pocket today. We don't know what tomorrow brings.😊

[@oldstuffnow1]

You fool make a big pile go to new york on a Saturday get 90% value don't sell gold at at a flea

[@kensmith6859]

That's the that Blue Bus Dave dealt with. He always saw him ok

[@bren70ssss94]

He didnt mind you filming him testing the gold , thats a good sign 😊

[@ScrapFarm]

You would be surprised how many people don't realize...

[@edwardsawtell5712]

I think you did ok. Keep pushing Bert!

[@apainintheass1275]

You did ok, cause the gentleman has to make a little profit too when he goes to sell it.. enjoyed watching 😊

[@junkin]

that guy pays whatever the price is iirc.. he just makes his money hoarding it and selling bulk when the time is right.

[@MysticRuler-n4j]

I thought you did ok. You sold what you wanted to and held what you wanted to. Nothing wrong with a little cash in hand! Hope theres more in your future.

[@Kevin-jb9eu]

That's actually a seal spoon/pick.

[@luwinahand5200]

I think you did ok. It sounds like you are sick, my friend. Take care of yourself.

[@ScrapFarm]

A little under it for sure....thanks

[@impalaman4546]

Take the cash Bert and smile

[@John-pn7bh]

I don't think you were bent over the pickle barrel with that gold.

[@afineliner740]

You should buy your own acid-gold test kit, they are cheap, and you can do it at home yourself before selling. 👍

[@ScrapFarm]

Yeah.... I will, it was kind of last minute.... Not really planning on getting rid of anything... But when you need it, it's there.

[@nickmad887]

Good deal.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

At the Market - Great Day and selling some of Your Gold Finds - Nice Cash - he was very Fair - NO - You did not get robbed ! Cash always so very Welcome - Bills need to be Paid ! Cute Little Pry Bar also ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!

[@birdac2002]

So he got you at about 78% on the class ring. I would say that is a tad low. I would want 80 to 85% or higher if they do that.

[@junkin]

that was a pretty big stone tbh 78% is generous

[@birdac2002]

But he took weight off because od the stone. So it's still low. Don't quote me on it but 80% should be the low rate. @@junkin

[@birdac2002]

I guess he is really fair at 78% because of the karat of the gold. Just educated myself on scrap gold prices. So yes you did well!

[@junkin]

@@birdac2002 he didn’t take weight off he just paid less.. I’ve seen him pop the stones out and it be exactly what he took off lol. That dudes been buying gold longer than KZbin existed.. he has an impeccable reputation

[@ScrapFarm]

Like I said he hasn't been there forever carrying that same plastic bag.... Screwing people over....

[@anthonypiligno7618]

🎉 only way you can really trust anybody is yourself... You have to get your own scratch kit.... And a scale... Gold prices go up and down every day........ JJ....😊

[@jasontaylor9871]

You really have to trust your gold and coin guys when you sell it

[@elainewallace3381]

I think he is a genuine guy Bert Gold is suppose to be at its highest price .

[@mcox6824]

Brian is a good buyer and seems honest. Would run into him at Lambertville. When I moved out of the area I asked around to who the best buyer was to some coin guys. They pointed me to a refiner. You'll get better pricing if you find a refiner who will buy because it takes out a layer of middle man. I get 80% value, and 90% if I do trade. I trade my scrap gold & silver for gold bullion as a savings plan because that will be easier to sell "when I need it".

[@ScrapFarm]

Yeah, I trust him for the most part.... Everybody's got to make money. I understand that.... I don't really wanna get rid of any of it. But a couple small pieces to help with a little cash flow and now and then.... Others than that I'm gonna sit on it. Not a bad idea to trade it though.

[@ScrapFarm]

I mean, technically, if you guys that do buy it at these markets would not be doing it for all these years if they were screwing everybody....

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Well you did all right. You got something for it. Not like it was all bad but you did all right better in your pocket than somebody else's. 👍👍🇨🇦🙂

Gold buyers won't get far if they develop a reputation for being scuzzy, they get more business for having a good buyer reputation.

You didn’t get ripped off. Many times what’s stamped is not accurate once you test it.

[@brycebernier0724]

That Snapon tool is to remove orings. Definitely a nice tool to have.

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

What website are you finding your lockers on @Burt. ? I’ve been “trying” to find a reputable one to use down here in KY, but not sure which is the better?? I don’t think you got robbed.. like you said, it is what it is.. A bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in a bush.. BUT.. even though those didn’t “test” right for 18k.. Seems like he still wanted them pretty bad for some reason. That made me question a little bit.. lol..

Is that pry bar a novelty golf club screw driver.

[@ScrapFarm]

No I believe it's for prying out o rings

[@sharonromer6606]

👍

[@tnridge]

was that a class ring? My old class ring from 1976 how much real gold is in it? Do you happen to know? IT still looks brand new always heard they were not worth anything much.

[@ScrapFarm]

Yup most are 10k

[@silverlicious2086]

I think you did pretty good with the class ring. You should get your own acid test kit so you can test everything yourself at home. Then when you sell nobody can rip you off. Just my opinion

[@ScrapFarm]

That's the plan I really didn't want to sell any of it. But it's the quickest money I have..... I got plenty of scrap, but that's going to take quite a few hours to accumulate that much money....

[@silverlicious2086]

yeah, I can understand about needing fast cash. I'm glad you didn't sell it all before you test it yourself. Get a digital gram scale too. But ofc that all takes a little investment, maybe later this summer when you have more cash flow. Have a good weekend.
