Selling Old Jewelry To Buy New Rare Pieces

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I read some interesting material today while I was sitting in the waiting room at my doctors. There was a magazine about collectors and how much their collections were worth today. There were several commentaries in the magazine too that said that if your jewelry collection is not too valuable because of the pieces, then you should start selling jewelry for cash and getting out some of the money you put into it.

I always wondered why some people would sell old jewelry to pawn shops and jewelry stores but now, I understand. They can get the amount that the stone or the gold is worth, even if the piece is not rare or sought after. If you collect though, just because you enjoy it then selling jewelry pieces would probably never appeal to you, no matter how much you are offered.

The article went on to say that if you have a few things that are not worth too much then you might be able to sell old jewelry pieces that are not rare and purchase one big piece that is from the amount you make from the sale. I know a woman who has so much jewelry, she could start her own store but she just collect for fun and plans on passing down the collection to her granddaughters one day.

Selling Gold Coins Online To Pay The Bills

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I may have to sell gold coins that my father collected many years ago to help offset the cost of his funeral. He did not have any life insurance and now my brother and I are left with the funeral costs and many other bills too. Since gold prices are so high right now, we have come to the conclusion that we need to see how much we can get by selling gold online. I have seen quite a few advertisements online and think that it may be possible, with everything that he had to pay off most of his debt and the entire funeral bill.

I put my brother in charge of calling some local dealers to compare what they might offer to selling gold online prices to reputable companies. I contacted a friend of mine that is in the jewelry business and he recommended a few sites that he knew were a sure thing. Two of them he told me usually paid thirty to forty percent more than what the local store owners like him could offer.

I contacted both of the sure thing companies and asked them how to go about the way to sell gold coins quick and easy. They gave me exact instructions and I sent the collection to one of them. We are just hoping for a good reply back from them.

Flashing Novelties Sold at Craft Fair

Monday, August 10th, 2009

I was hoping to have a little booth at the craft fair that my church puts on every year. I am not that great at making things but asked if I had items for sale that little kids would like, if that would be okay. The director told me that as long as they were safe items, then I could do it.

I then had to come up with items to sell. I started by searching online for ideas. I came across a company that sold flashing novelties and glowing face paint. I figured that I could sell the flashing items and make a really good profit. I have seen little kids with glowing necklaces and bracelets all the time at fairs and stuff.

I was going to have my teenage daughters come and set up a face painting stand right next to my flashing novelties table too. I remembered how much my girls loved having their faces painted when they were little. I can remember standing in very long lines to get the girls faces painted and I was hoping that we would have the same effect with our glowing face paint.

The day of the craft fair, we had a line for about four hours straight. I sold out of the flashing novelties in less than three hours. The girls figured that they must have painted about four hundred little faces. They had a great time and we raised a lot of money for the church at the same time.
