Thanks for your concern everyone.
One chain was given to me by my cousin when we were young, because someone found it and didn’t want it, and she couldn’t wear it b/c it was a man’s chain. Completely meaningless to her, and me as well. The other chain has such little sentimental value, I tried my best to recall where it came from and I can’t even remember! My family members know how much I don’t like jewelry, so I’d probably never (except my 3rd gen. wedding ring I received) receive jewelry with sentimental value.
With that being said, Thank you @tedd good point about the middle man. I considered a FTF transaction, but lately I’ve seen some unfortunate local news about Craigslist mishappenings, people getting beaten up and even shot during a transaction.
Any other venues worth suggesting that might be a little safer that CL? Otherwise I guess I might have to reconsider craigslist.
@LuckyGuy thanks for the info. That’s how I did it. Spot gold is $1596 today. I have EXACTLY (which is entertaining to me) one troy ounce.
So $1596 x (10/24) = $664.17
I was just hoping I could find a type of shop that would give me roughly 55% of that. I’d be happy with it, again, b/c these pieces don’t have ‘special’ moments attached to them.
I don’t need the money, I just don’t like jewelry, and/or clutter, so I don’t want them in my house anymore. So I guess I’m in a position where I can hold on to them for a while to get the best deal. I just don’t want to prolong owning it too long, as I already have for YEAAARRRRS. LOL
Thanks all!
