I seen a cash 4 gold commerical regarding family/friend of sleeping /dead person pulling the gold teeth out of their mouth.. how terrible that as adults they would even air this kind of CRAP! This only implies to the children and less educated adults that its ok to go and cause harm on a person (ELDERLY) !

The first thing I thought of when seeing the C4G commercials was that this company just made it easier for thieves to cash in the jewelry they steal. No longer did they have to take their heist to the local pawn shop, but now they can send it in an envelope, out of site of the local authorities.

It is a shame that these types of companies pop up when people fall on tough economic times.

Oops – “didn’t even have to go home” should be “didn’t have to leave home.”

I actually used Cash4Gold! Not to sell my priceless heirlooms, mind you. I found a single, broken gold earring on the street one day and picked it up. Now, what am I going to do with one broken earring? Send it to C4G! It was the easiest thing to do–I didn’t even have to go home–just request the prepaid envelope, send in the earring, and wait. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever hear from them, but I did–a few weeks later I had a check for FIVE BUCKS! Sweet!

Seriously though, that is about the only reason I would ever use C4G. I certainly wouldn’t send in anything that I cared about, or any jewelry that was unbroken and thus had resale value.

Now don’t forget about “Cash FOR Gold, USA”! They def. take the cake in craziness if you ask me, and I don’t think they’re related at all (although i could be wrong).

Check out this commercial that my co-worker actually saw on TV! I still can’t believe it…

The cockroaches sure do come out when the outlook looks grim.

I just wanted to mention that many jewelers will buy old jewelry (gold, silver, precious stones, etc.) for a much better price than Cash4Gold or a pawn shop would. If someone wants to sell their jewelry to someone reputable, first have it appraised, then take it to a jeweler.

This is stupid. If they want to sell their jewelry why don’t they just try to sell it on ebay? A lot of people would buy nice jewelry for less than they’d have to pay in a store yet for more than just the cost of scrap metal. They may even be able to find someone who’d fall in love with the item and pay more for it. They may even try to reach some agreement with a local small jewelry store where the jewelry store would try to sell it then gives them half.

Tim, this may well be true, but based on the Consumerist article referenced in first reply, this company is making it difficult to get jewelry back if you are unsatisfied.

jewelry in its form isn’t worth anything unless you can sell it; otherwise, it is only worth scrap price of the materials. i don’t know, everything on their website indicates scrap metal. they also have side company that you can sell jewelry (obviously name brand) as jewelry rather than for scrap.
