<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 512112, member: 8033&quot;]We buy it at the shop I work in as well. Of course a shop has to make money but what these people pay is a joke. Couple that with the fact that those sending it in have NO clue in so many cases.</p><p>At least in a real setting you are watching the buyer inspect it. We buy by weight and karat. If it&#039;s got really good resale potential you get more.</p><p><br /></p><p>A jeweler that we do business with sent some &quot;junk&quot; in to one of these places knowing full well what it was worth. The offer was ridiculous of course so he declined. HE received a small lump of gold back NOT what he had sent in.</p><p>No karat marking or mention of purity. So what does one do? Cut it in half and acid test it? Sure a jeweler can do that or with better tools get a good read on it. How many average people have this available or even know it can be done?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to see these people banned from TV but since there&#039;s &quot;one born every minute&quot; it will continue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
