Selling gold items....

Slingshot. here is what you do. Go to the gold buyer and have him weigh your gold and give you the price and the grams he came up with. Then decline it and go home. Put the GRAMS in this caculator:

Put the karat, leave the price of gold out and put -2% for what ARA takes out. Hit caculate value and that will CLOSELY be the amount you will get from ARA.


I don't insure my packages never have. I also put it in a priority box for 5.35
 
I agree with what I've heard about ARA. Local mom and pop shops are paying a lot of overhead in rent and such and of course have to make a bigger profit because they are doing less volume. ARA from what I hear is a huge rifinary and so makes their money in volume. By skimming 2% of the stock market price of gold they are still making big money. It's a volume thing.

Search this forum for ARA. I don't think you can scan for a three letter word only, but if you put in like "best gold prices" and use (ALL WORDS) as the search critera, I'm sure you'll find a lot of threads with great info and happy customers. Most seem to like them better than Midwest.

Also, do this search in the beach forum too because that's were I saw most of those kinds of threads in the past. Plenty of great info on Findmall if you know how to search for it via the search function. Just takes creative wording on what you are looking for.
