Places To Find Scrap Gold Rings To Buy

Some people who sell their jewelry through an estate or garage sale either have no idea what has happened to the price of gold or they simply don't care. If you can find gold rings here realize that the seller simply wants to get rid of the stuff and move on with their lives.
Offering a bulk price for the scrap gold rings is a way to complete the transaction quickly and easily. However, be aware that people are more likely to haggle with you at a garage sale or estate sale. Just because they want to get rid of the stuff doesn't mean that they want to simply give it away. -

EBay is another place to buy scrap gold rings. They usually come in "lots" with exact descriptions of what you will be getting. This can help you figure out exactly how much pure gold you will be bidding on. This of course is much easier when the number of karats is constant, but can be significantly harder if it is a mixed lot. The sellers are generally willing to answer your questions and provide you with a breakdown of the karat content of the gold rings if you ask nicely.
Be aware that eBay is the world's largest marketplace, so bidding can quickly get out of hand. Always know how much you want to spend for your scrap gold rings, and stick to your limit. Like auctions in real life, it is very easy to get swept away in the excitement and pay too much. -

Craigslist is also a great place to find jewelry to buy. Because the ads are free, people often put up ads when they are desperate. While you may feel bad that you are taking the jewelry, you are in fact helping them out. They would not have put it up for sale unless they wanted the money more than the jewelry.
Also, another option is to work with pawn shops. If you refer your customers to pawn shops, the shops can return the favor and point people in your direction when the quality isn't good enough to be resold but is perfect for your scrap purposes.
