You will find that there is no more opportune time than the present to be selling gold jewelry. Do you know why? Unless you haven’t heard, you have been lost on a desert island someplace, or you have been too busy with obsessing over all of the bad news about the economy these days to listen to the good news, the price of gold is on a rise as of this writing, worth well above $1,000 per ounce. That is correct, you read correctly: You should be selling gold jewelry right now because it is worth well over $1,000 per ounce!Gold has been constantly rising over the past decade, averaging well above 20% annually, the only exception being a 5.6% decline in the year 2008. Even in the 2009, gold has managed to recover from the global economic recession and climb back up again already, at a 23% increase from 2008 levels!So what does that tell you? It means that while cyclical boom and busts, and the rise and fall of the dot coms, the rise and fall of real estate, the near-collapse of the stock market, and the devaluation of the US dollar, have all proven to be extremely risky investment vehicles, the only stable investment vehicle during this entire period has been none other than gold.So if you have been holding onto gold for a long time, now would be a great time to sell it, if you are hard up for some cash due to this global economic recession that we have all just been through.So where ought you be selling gold jewelry? Whom should you be selling gold jewelry to? And how can we be sure that you redeem the highest price?These are all extremely good questions. The answer is two-fold:1. Avoid giving gold jewelry to a retail operation, a pawn-shop, or jewelry exchange. Essentially any type of consumer retail store is not a good idea. Why is that the case? Because retail stores are in the business of flipping gold. They need to purchase gold from you for the purposes of of reselling it immediately, and earning money during the process. They essentially gold brokers who are looking to earn a commission using the old buy low to sell high plan. So quite naturally, that they are be dealing narrow margins of profit and wouldn’t be open to offer you the price that you would like.2. You really should be reselling your gold to a gold refinery. Why is this the case? Because a gold refinery is in the business of obtaining gold, melting it, and redistributing the gold raw material to other businesses. There exists no middle man. There is no flipping gold for profit. They are able to offer a superior price for your gold since the margin of profit in this type of situation is higher. So it makes for a winning solution that makes happy both you and the refinery.Gold is a stable investment, and has continued to remain so all the while that we have seen the rise and fall of the dot coms, the housing bubble, the stock market crash of the year 2008, and the decline of the US dollar. So now is a better time than any to be selling gold jewelry
