There are so many adverts asking people to pop their unwanted gold in a bag and post it off for a valuation - if you like the valuation you receive the cash...........

 

Does anyone really put their gold in a bag and pop it in the post??

[clootie]

I know, I've thought exactly the same when I see the advert.

[Valkyrie]

I howl every time I see that ad too. Like say red backwards.

[susanbb]

My thoughts were, "as if"

[abwsco]

There's a few reputable gold buyers who do this and give the going rate for gold. Hatton Garden Metals is one.

i know, on one advert which might be postal gold, the ma on the advert is really weird and doesnt blink at all throughout the whole advert. dont know why i noticed

That guy freaks me out, how on earth did they employ him

[tiggerlady]

Dont you think its a bit strange that theyre all popping up at once??? My friend reckons it because the banking system is close to collapse so the only thing left worth anything is going to be gold,just like the (very) olden days..unless theyre all speculating that the price will rocket soon..Ive only got my wedding ring so no ppoint in me asking for an envelope!

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

God no! I'd only ever put my diamonds in the post for cash. Gold? Phffft!

[PurpleTree]

I've thought the same thing. Why would you send your gold away without having the money first? I think my wedding and engagement rings are the only gold things I own, and I'm not going to send them anywhere!

[Joojoo]

The thing that makes me laugh on one of the ads (can't remember which) is when they say "phone now for your FREE Gold Kit". What's that then? A free stamped addressed envelope? Whoopee

Thats what my son said and he's 11! It does make you think though. If you were after lots of gold jewellery why not set up a company, send out some easily spotted envelopes through the mail so then someone 'working' for the postal service can see that envelope has some gold in and *swipe* gone!

 

Disclaimer: I am in now way saying anyone who works for the Royal Mail are thieves.

[Ygerna]

It is the 'unwanted' gold bit that tickles me. I mean, unwanted! Who has unwanted gold?

[Lesley]

I'm glad it's not just me then!

 

After all the problems I've had sending even a birthday card and voucher to my sister I don't think I'll be putting anything in an envelope emblazoned with 'Postal Gold' or whatever

[The Dogmother]

Beggars belief really

 

 

I hear that the price of gold is holding though - more than can be said for most savings.

[Redwing]

My gold goes postal - at least my wedding ring gets chucked across the room a couple of times a year - does that count?

[Joojoo]

That sounds more like airmail

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

I still want a brooch of finest green...

My engagement ring has emeralds - but you can't have it!

I can't get my wedding ring off now. Ooh I have a gold toothypeg but I need it to chomp with.

My thoughts exactly! He must be a relative of someone in the company...he's the creepiest man on telly!!

My mum took her old damaged gold jewellery to be valued last month, & got £110 cash for it. She put that money towards buying herself a new 22 carat wedding ring, she had lost her orignal ring many years ago when it fell from her finger on a really cold day, & had been wearing a replacement 9ct ring for many years instead.

 

Incidentally she had the gold vaued the week before she cashed it in & the value of it went up £10 in that one week

[Alis girls]

No the creepiest is the Civic Bang man who shouts at housewives as if we're all deaf or dumb We saw the Spanish version on holiday and he was so quietly spoken it was positively soothing. ES cracked up when he saw me mesmorised by it each time it came on

Apologies if you are married to him, hes just a bit loud thats all
