Do you get what your gold is worth with Cash4Gold.com?

Promo Code: 113537


I, like many, have thought about selling my old jewelry. Particularly the gold stuff, since the price of gold is high (now dropping, so sell now or wait until the next spike) people expect to get a few hundred bucks for a handful of gold jewelry. Cash4Gold.com has TV commercials playing many times a day. I do not have a local jeweler that I would go to, to sell my gold so something like Cash4Gold.com appealed to me. However after watching an episode of Inside Edition (Don't quote me on the shows name, I am pretty sure that is the one them) I am glad I never sent my gold away to them.

The TV show had two jewelers verify the amount of gold that was in their decoy jewelry. It was over $1000.00 bucks worth. An Undercover reporter went into many jewelry stores to "get offers" for their gold. The stores offered from $700 to $1200. The best store offer was only a few hundred dollars below the actual value.

However, the shocker was the LOW offer made by Cash4Gold.com. It was around $300. When the reporter refused the offer (which is something you can do when you send your gold to them), they doubled the offer. It was still the lowest in the bunch. Cash4Gold.com's reasoning was their "gold measuring machines" could more accurately measure the amount of gold in the jewelry.

I have now abandoned my plans on sending anything there. Of course, I do not trust jewelers either. I wish I could measure it myself before sending away/attempting to sell gold jewelry. That way I would know if the offer was good or not. Not knowing if I would be ripped off is the main reason I did not send away for my "postage-paid envelope" from Cash4Gold.com.

I wonder how much stolen jewelry gets sent to Cash4Gold.com.


If you still want to give Cash4Gold.com a try there is a few things you should know.

First, you have to be 21(+). Read the paragraph in quotations below, this is from Cash4Gold.com. It explains that they do not pay you for gemstones other then small diamonds.

“Cash4Gold purchases second hand jewelry for refining, not for resale. Prices are based solely on the weight and karat grade contained in the jewelry, not on its potential value if resold intact. For this reason, the company cannot pay for gemstones in the jewelry other than small diamonds. If you wish to sell your fine jewelry, such as estate pieces, diamonds over 1 carat and fine time pieces, you can obtain a quote on possible value by contacting our affiliated website, theestatebuyer.com.”

If you have a piece of jewelry that has gemstones and the other options for selling it are not for you, you can still send them. Just take out the gemstones first. You may be able to sell those loose gemstones to a local jeweler or online.


Another part of Cash4Gold.com’s terms and conditions you should acquaint yourself with is the “Limitation of Liability”. In their TV commercials they talk about how the envelope they send you to send in the jewelry is insured. This section gives you the details.

“Cash4Gold's liability is and shall be expressly and specifically limited to the LEAST of the following sums:
1. The liquidation value placed on the total contents by Cash4Gold in Cash4Gold's sole discretion.
2. One-third (1/3) of the appraised value of the contents according to an appraisal submitted by a customer/seller to Cash4Gold, which appraisal was issued prior to the shipment of the item to Cash4Gold; and,
3. The sum of One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars.”

That is not good insurance. And, there is no way around it. If you know your items are worth more then $100 you be S.O.L if your Pak gets “lost”. Cash4Gold.com recommends that you insure your Pak with the Carrier at your expense. I doubt if many people do that, or even know that should. You can get an appraisal before sending the items, however if you want the amount of the appraisal to be used in the event of your Pak being lost/stolen/etc… you must send the appraisal to Cash4Gold.com before retuning the Pak. Without an prior appraisal your are limited to $100. The way the “Limitation of Liability” is worded it seems you would have a hard time getting anymore then $100 even if you have a prior appraisal.

You have ten days from the date on the “offer check” to contact Cash4Gold.com if you do not want to accept their offer or have changed your mind.
When you ship you Pak to Cash4Gold.com you are agreeing to ALL Terms and Conditions set forth by Cash4Gold.com (read all on Cash4Gold.com)

Check out the New Dodge Ram 1500

Dodge has completely redesigned the Ram. Premiering the week of November 3, 2008 at Dodge dealerships across the country —Test Drive one today!

If you watch Tv at all, you have probably seen the commercials for Dodge's "never back down" challenge. It is their version of a reality show. You can use the link above to view the TV ads and online Webisodes.l

A lot of people in my family own Dodge vehicles, I even have a old Dodge RamCharger in my driveway. So I consider my family a Dodge Family, that is why I joined the Bzz Campaign for the Dodge Ram 1500. And it was excuse to go test drive one, lol!


One of my favorite new features f the Dodge Ram 1500 is the ParkView^® rear back-up camera. Every truck/SUV made today should have one of these.


Dodge could of made it more fuel efficient. With a average of 20MPG on the highway and 14MPG in the city I cannot see may people buying them, especially with a gallon of gas costing an average of $3. If you are going to buy a vehicle that gets that bad of gas millage you might as well get a older cheaper one. If it got at least 35 in the city (like vehicles in other countries) I would buy one today.

The redesigned inside is luxurious, it would almost be ashame to put dirty men in it, lol.

It has feature that appeal to both men and women, like dual glove boxes and storage under the rear seats. Who doesn't like storage space.

If you are looking for a new truck, find a Dodge Dealership near you and test drive one today!

Do you Shop Online? If so, You Need a Paypal Account

I have had my Paypal account since 2002, to date I have not had any problems with them. In fact it has helped me. Not only am I keeping my bank, debt/credit card information safe when shopping online I am building credit. This is because Paypal is affiliated with GE MoneyBank.
So treat your Paypal account as if you would any other bank account. Do not overdraw, keep some money in the account and/or have activity (send/receive money).

Paypal offers debt cards for your account. It works just like a bank debt card. Wait until you have had your Paypal account for a few months before you request a debt card (unless you have good credit).

Paypal also offers Paypal Buyers Credit. It is not like a traditional credit card. You do not get a plastic card but a paper card because it is for only purchases online. And, you can only use it when Paypal is accepted by the merchant.

If you have used your Paypal account to pay for anything lately you have seen the "Paypal Buyer's Credit" option at checkout. When you use Buyer's Credit the amount of the purchase it deposited into your Paypal account then taken by the merchant (you can see all this in your account activity section).


Opening an account is free. PayPal makes its money by charging fees to merchants and individuals on larger amounts of money being transferred (fees start at transfers over $20).
For personal use the fees are not bad. You do not feel ripped off when you see how much a fee was on you transaction. I have never been charged more then $5.00

*no charge to transfer funds from your bank account to your PayPal account.

• If you have a Personal account, you have the option to accept credit card payments, and you'll pay a small fee if you choose to accept a credit card payment.
• If you have a Premier or Business account, you'll pay a small fee to receive payments.

If you sell products (or services) online, I recommend signing up so you can accept Paypal. You are probably losing potential customers by not having Paypal as a payment option. Just knowing a merchant accepts Paypal makes buyers feel better (safer). I have "not bought" from an online store just because they did not take Paypal (even though I was not going to use my Paypal account to pay).



Of course, all that goes out the window if you are a shady merchant and plan on scamming people, then you would be better off only accepting checks/moneyorders/cash. LOL

Why Work When You Can Find a SugarDaddie!

This is so funny. At SugarDaddie.Com men and women in he higher tax brackets can post dating profiles. The whole point of this website is to hook up rich people with those that want to date people with money.



I first heard about this site a long time ago, but I did not think much of it at the time. I just could believe that a site like that would last ( I should know better, anything can survive online).

At least the man/women will know what you are after when you have a profile on this site. What is the world coming to when people pay to be hooked up with gold-diggers. The site seems to be doing good, it has been mentioned on many TV shows and customers have nothing but good things to say.

If I was on-the-market I might consider posting a profile there but I doubt I would take it seriously. No matter how many testimonies I read, I seriously doubt that people find true love through SuagrDaddies.com.

I am not a Dr. Phil fan, but according to SugarDaddies Media page they have been featured on his show and are contributers. I do not know if that hurts or helps them, lol.

Idea For Price Comparing Website

The ultimate price comparing website would have up-to-date prices for items in the stores (not just online). Retailers could submit their weekly flyer's and special sales. That way you can really get the best price. I have read that when shopping online you could pay more shopping online then if you went into the store. My idea would prevent that!

Maybe I should try to make that website! Give me some name suggestions!

Compare Prices with Shoppzilla.com

Shopzilla is a price comparison site that I visit a lot. You get results from many stores online. This is where I found the store that sold the bags for my vacuum at a really good price. And, that store was not a "big time" retailer.

There are pros and cons to getting results from smaller retailers. The Pro in my case was that I got a better price. But dealing with unknowns is risky (that is why I paid with PayPal).

It doesn't hurt to look at Shoppzilla's results when shopping online, the only thing you have to lose is less money, lol!




From Shopzilla.com:
" Founded in 1996, Shopzilla is a leading comparison shopping service. The company's mission is to enable shoppers to quickly and easily find compare and buy anything, sold by virtually anyone, anywhere. Each month, Shopzilla connects millions of consumers with thousands of stores. In June 2006, Shopzilla attracted over 18.9 million unique visitors according to ComScore. Shopzilla also operates the BizRate consumer feedback network that collects millions of consumer reviews of stores and products each year.
