Great video as always!!

Great video where you again hit several areas of interest. Adjusting your buying habits is a big part of stacking... but not all changes may be welcome a year later. Which explains why I have a sterling silver sombrero.

I think you did a WONDERFUL job with this presentation. I think this is VERY valuable information that can DEFINITELY help someone not get taken advantage of. Well done sir! Stay safe and a TREMENDOUS Thanksgiving to you and your whole family!!!

Wow! I just wanna say I’ve been wanting this answered for so long! Ever since I went to Bahrain I was shocked how I thought gold was so cheap yet they’re the only ones not scamming people like in the US. I’m so glad I understand now and after buying gold in Bahrain I now feel like the con artist 😂 definitely feel great I bought it

Bahrain! Great spot. I’ve been a few times - nice place to hang out.

This is great for the uninitiated, concise with good examples to calculate the melt value o unwanted jewelry. It quickly gets complicated when gemstones are set in a piece, or in a consignment situation where direct resale, or disassembly and resale are involved.

I need to invest in an acid testing kit for any additional gold I purchase. One time I bought a gold chain that was signified as 24k gold, and looked like 24k to an untrained eye. I brought it to a local jewelry store and had it tested, it turned out to be 22k gold. While a minor difference in value, it never hurts to be able to verify the gold's purity yourself. Edit: A food scale will suffice if you are like me who buys heavier gold jewelry.

Nice video on how to calculate gold value! Though most jewelry stores/designers mark up their prices so high because customers are not paying only for the gold, but the labor and expertise in turning gold material into jewelry. The better the designer, usually the better quality of craftmanship too, making it expensive.

Very useful video, BG! It's fun figuring out what your gold jewelry is worth! I went through this process recently with a small 9.5" gold chain I bought many years ago to extend the length of the chain for a pocket watch I used to carry. I have no idea what I paid for it, but it wasn't much. I was curious what it was worth. The Hallmark says "Italy" and "417" followed by an oval symbol with a line through it. Google quickly told me it was 10K. I weighed it and did the math, but I just rechecked it again today, and that little chain has a melt value of $115 now! Not that much, but it's nice to know, and apparently Italian gold jewelry carries a premium.

Very nice video. Good information for people to know if they're thinking about selling gold jewelry. However, it's my experience that a pawn shop, coin shop, or jewelry store will not give you much more than 70% of melt. I hate to say it, but you will be sized up when you enter and you could be offered as little as 60% of melt. I've never heard of a store offering melt for jewelry. And yes, they will mark it up to what you would see in a jewelry store when buying. So yes, they do offer 50% off their retail price and still making a lot of money. Well done video...a great introductory course into selling and buying from a pawn shop.

Great advice on calculating out a commodity and helping understand a market. I like to bring cash when buying at pawn shops and especially with private sales. When I make my (lowest) offer, I lay down the cash in front of them and let them count it out. There is something psychological that takes place and more often than not, they accept my initial offer.

Great video! Only thing that was difficult for me to figure out the purity level of 90% gold. It's less than 18k but more than 14k. I have a few 90% Swiss gold Helvetia coins that are .1867 of a Troy ounce. I picked those up because it's a great way to add cheap fractional gold sovereigns to your stack at a lower premium. Unfortunately I've heard that the sell back price for them is only about 90% of spot because I hear there less desirable and known. But I've never sold them before (and hope that I never have to) so I'll never really know for sure until I go to sell them. Great video 👍 happy Thanksgiving

In my city mostly are 35% above the market value which is pretty good deal for new gold jewelry

Very interesting! The current UK sovereign is essentially "rose gold" because it is 22 carat, and the silver content was dropped in (I think) 2013. Now it is gold and copper, giving it the "rose" glow and it is quite obvious when placed alongside an earlier sovereign.
