Sell Your Gold

Have you seen those advertisements for selling your old gold jewelry? First of all they offer a FREE return envelope. Wow! A FREE envelope! Then they emphasize that it's safe and secure. You're putting your bling in an an envelope and mailing it off to people that you've never seen or heard of, and you have absolutely no recourse if they short change you. That's safe & secure? Then we've got people talking about taking "the vacation of a lifetime" with money from old gold jewelry that they "didn't know was worth so much". (Although the only dollar amount mentioned is $423 - where is this vacation? Unadilla?) But the best, the absolute best is when, included in a listing of what kinds of gold these people buy, is gold teeth! Under what circumstances is it a good idea to sell your teeth? Hey, I eat mostly soft food, you know, yogurt and pudding, so why do i need a complete mouthfull of teeth?
