Cash for Gold

Kinky Melinky · 29th October 2009, 12:35

I've been meaning to start a thread about this for a while now but always seemed to forget.

Am I the only cnut sick of these advertisements on TV ? They've got to be dodgy no ? I'm sure you get your money, but this whole idea of sending in your gold jewellery no questions asked. It's a fucking thief's dream. Spend a week stealing gold jewellery out and about in London and send it off for cash.

Yer man in the ad looks like a right gangster too

These companies are a postie's dream

Kinky Melinky · 29th October 2009, 12:36

True that

BAMSOLA · 29th October 2009, 12:42

I think the jewellery is always sent by recorded delivery and they are a publicly traded company(not defending them but I can remember that much from the advert).

Eyepopper · 29th October 2009, 12:43

They should start a 'Cash for LCD TV's' scheme... seems every fucker in the world has a 50" LCD telly and no money

You just know you're going to be ripped off massively, there's no way they pay you even close to what your jewellery is worth...

Come to think of it I'm pretty sure that's how Gordon Brown sold our Gold reserves back in 1999:

"Hello is that Cash4Gold? I just saw your advert, and I have 400 tons of gold... yes, 400... no, tons... yes, tons. Could you send me some of those pre-paid envelope thingys?"

When the value of gold decreases then these fuckers will soon be off the TV

roodboy · 29th October 2009, 12:50

it is not a complete con but they pay you less than the gold is really worth

these companies have all appeared because the price of gold is reaching all time high levels - they are basically taking advantage of the average punter who doesnt have a clue what their stuff is worth.

F-Red · 29th October 2009, 12:52

Do people still wear/buy gold these days? I thought it was for the disenfranchised & dole scum?

gaffs · 29th October 2009, 12:55

Tell you what, they give you a great deal.

I sent off my 3 sovereigns, my gold chain, my ex gilfriends earrings and her gold "mum" necklace.

I got £114.

That post reminded me uncannily of Fonejacker.

Many central banks are buying gold bullion, because it's the best investment at the moment

The gold price is the highest in its history, and with this dollar, will increase...

No.

You could get quite a few gold chains and sovs from the residents of Camberwell.

Funny that you mentioned these types of commercials, as I worked on one last week.

fair play, did you get any sovereigns as a way of thanks?

Hectic · 29th October 2009, 14:28

Most of them are not scams, or knock-offs. The money you get will be double or perhaps triple the price you paid for, everyone's buying up gold again because it's at it's highest ever.

If you are going to sell, or need money, contact one of the companies on television and get a quote.
