i just went to a refinery sold my bracelet at $2.5 below scrap. U can find good places that dont try to finess you but most will.
He did all the testing prior giving me a quote, acid, machine, didnt matter at the end he can only pay me after he melts the bracelet. These guys are taking risks, they are not just going to look at ur stuff and cash you out. especially with big amounts. Theres cost of running a business. If you get 1:1 scrap gold price they are essentially losing? lol im not even sure what we are debating here. You going to Mike Amiri and quoting him the Cotton price for the day and asking him why his jeans are marked up? and when you resell it do you get the same price back?
The quote leon gives you at $40-42 per gram is including his labour thats not spot gold price. What i was saying is you not getting that price. Reys labour is even more above spot gold price, thats the point i was making. and at the end of the day doesnt matter what you were told your bracelet is. If the refinery melts the gold down and says it tests as 13.5k instead of 14k thats what they are going to pay you for, you have no option you take it or leave it. You can take it else where and waste your time trying to get that extra $50-100 lol
and yes they dont charge you for melting it unless you take your stuff back, and its very quick and easy what is your argument lol You are. the one that is trying to sell your gold you have no leverage bro lol the buyer is going to pay you what they are going to pay you thats how the market works. Just like you dont get Google currency exchange rate at your bank or any exchange place. You are not walking into someones establishment demanding Google gold spot rate lol who do you think you are
and we are talking about jewelry that has labour costs involved, not pure gold coins bars or bullions
