on 7/6/2009 I recommend checking out the Silver and Gold Exchange when selling scrap gold or silver. I did a LOT of research before selling and found they pay more than anyone else I could find. Best of all they have a live price chart showing exactly what they pay for various karats of gold and different forms of silver at http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com
