Thanks a Bunch,,,, chuckChuck,Nuggets like those will usually bring a little over spot when sold individually on eBay. Give them an acid bath to improve their appearance, and then take good, closeup pictures of them in natural sunlight with a small ruler next to them. List them on a 1-day auction at spot, then watch them sit all day with no bids until the last 30 seconds. The last-second sniping will likely put them over spot, even with their base metal impurities. Have the listings end on Saturday and/or Sunday evening.The premium above spot should just about cover the listing fees, netting you spot. Try it with a few this weekend and see.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ron Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hell, Guys, put out a little energy, send good pendant nugs to el Dorado and have him put on rabbit ears, get some decent chain and market them as jewelry...You'll be talking at least double spot but you may have to get ingenious ... I've done it for years and back in the late '70's and early '80's was selling those jewelry nuggets for what spot is now ...

Melt(is a crappy thought) them is the last thing I would concerned, They are like old best friends, they have helped us enjoy our old age beyond our dreams. If I decided to use a refiner I will let you know. chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, yer Unc in the Dubyah Uncle Ron, I had no trouble selling gold at the gold & rock shows and at my camp in the desert, but here in TX. gold nuggets are hard to sell. John made me some hangers there in Quartzite AZ. that sold good at the Pow Wow in Qsite. I have never been this old before and every thing seams to be harder the older I get.

Allen in MT Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 How much can you expect to receive from an ounce of gold after melt? ThanksNo refining fee, no assaying fee, a flat 98% of spot on content, depends on what your purity is running, I'v had some come back as high as 92% and others in the mid 80's. After they recieve it you can let it go and get a check back on when they refine it or call in and lock in the price, or you can bannk it and pull it out later in hope's that it will go higher.A good company to deal with.Allen in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
