		<description><![CDATA[<p>It is possible to sell your gold jewellery if you do not use it or you are in a financial rut and looking for a way to bail yourself out. However, you cannot take this step head on without looking at some of the factors that may affect the amount you get from the sale. This is because the items you are trading in are precious and you do not want to lose them for a lesser value. The ultimate amount you get will depend on the process the items went through and the people involved in the sale. For instance, you have to check the number of middlemen between you (the seller) and the jeweler (buyer). If you have several intermediaries, the ultimate amount will be divided amongst all of them as commissions, meaning you will pocket an amount that is arguably less than what the sale produced. To avoid such predicaments, look for opportunities that require you to deal with the jeweler directly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is possible to sell your gold jewellery if you do not use it or you are in a financial rut and looking for a way to bail yourself out. However, you cannot take this step head on without looking at some of the factors that may affect the amount you get from the sale. This is because the items you are trading in are precious and you do not want to lose them for a lesser value. The ultimate amount you get will depend on the process the items went through and the people involved in the sale. For instance, you have to check the number of middlemen between you (the seller) and the jeweler (buyer). If you have several intermediaries, the ultimate amount will be divided amongst all of them as commissions, meaning you will pocket an amount that is arguably less than what the sale produced. To avoid such predicaments, look for opportunities that require you to deal with the jeweler directly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, check the shipment process for you to<a target="_blank" title=" sell gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> sell gold</a> jewellery. The courier service for shipping the valuables should be secure with no chances of losing the valuables before they reach the jeweler. Ask whether they insure the valuables during the shipment process and whether you can get the stones back if the price does not meet your expectations. In addition, they should indicate if there are optional ways of evaluating your jewellery, such as sending their experts to your residence instead of transporting the valuable items to them. This is important because of the security of the pieces you want to trade. The best way to do this is to visit the company&#8217;s offices before planning to send the valuables, so that you know the people you are dealing with and their location.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thirdly, sell gold jewellery to a company that gives you the best rates. There is no need to settle for less because you have not done your homework to find a company that offers good money for your pendants, chains, nuggets, earrings or rings. Remember, the amount you get depends with their evaluation of what they want. If they do not find the quality they are looking for, they will quote the price of the existing quality and you have the right to accept or recall your pieces.  In addition, you can try several companies if you feel the deal is not good enough in relation to the market value of the items. Inquire about the shipment charges or other expenses that you may incur in the sale before you sign the deal. This may take up a substantial amount of the profit because you need secure shipment facilities and they do not come cheap. Avoid additional charges at all costs and in this way, you will end up having a large sum when the final sale goes through.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Since last year about this time when the<a target="_blank" title=" price of gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> price of gold</a> was about GBP 24.29 per gram this year this has increased to GBP 28.32 per gram in March to GBP 28.84 per gram on 13<sup>th</sup> April. As you can see gold is still continuing to rise at a very good level and over GBP 4.50 per gram higher this year than last year.</p>
<p>The Scrap gold prices have also continued to rise in line with the actual gold price and for 9 carat scrap gold the current price is £10.49 per gram, 14 carat scrap gold is £16.36 per gram, 18 carat scrap gold is £20.98 and 22 carat scrap gold is £25.63 per gram. This is a good increase from this time last year and if you then compare this to the prices which gold is selling for on eBay this month so far:</p>
<p>The krugerrand is probably the most famous of all the <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a> coins and will normally come in 1 ounce coins. Historically the Krugerrand has made good money on eBay. As an example last year a 1984 Krugerrand sold for £454 and a 2008 one sold for £560 and two<a target="_blank" title=" Krugerrands" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/gold-coins/krugerrand-gold-coins"> Krugerrands</a> in mint condition dated 1979 and 1988 sold for £799.99 and £755. This year here are the results from some Krugerrand sales on eBay:</p>
<p>A One ounce 1979 Krugerrand sold for £920.01 on 13 Apr 2011. A one ounce 1975 Krugerrand sold for £900 also on the 13 apr 2011. Looking at the results on eBay a One ounce Krugerrand will now sell between £900 and just under the £1,000 for a good example which is a significant increase in the price of Krugerrands from last year.</p>

<p>Another gold coin which is a firm favourite is the <a target="_blank" title="Gold Sovereign" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/2009/10/23/the-gold-sovereign-coin/">Gold Sovereign</a> the full sovereign weighs about 8g and is 22 carat gold these coins are always popular on eBay and a George V was selling for about £180 to £200 last year Victorian sovereigns are more costly depending on condition. This year full Sovereigns are now selling for about £220 to £230 and Victorian ones going for  over £260. This is a big increase in a year with about £60 more being paid for Victorian sovereigns.</p>
<p>Last year the half Sovereign was selling for about £85 to £90 with exceptional uncirculated coins such as a 1910 half gold sovereign selling for £111. This year the half sovereigns are selling for about £110 with good examples and rarer years selling for about £140 and upwards, again this is well up on this time last year and the prices still seem to be not just holding but vastly increasing each year.</p>

<p>Scrap gold is also a very popular commodity on eBay and generally goes for a better price than most places where you can exchange gold for cash. There are lots of these cash for gold firms and shops appearing on the television, internet; even the high street is starting to be full of shops all wanting gold for cash. The increase in the scrap gold price has something to do with this but you will be hard pushed to get as much for your gold from these places as selling it on eBay. Looking at recent results 7 pairs 9ct gold earrings 8gms sold for £85.52 which is about £10.50 per gram and 31.9gms of scrap 9ct gold for £323.23 which again is over £10 per gram which is better than any other place I have seen offering to buy scrap gold.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The average price of 9 carat scrap gold for the month is £9.95 per gram.  The 14 carat scrap average is £15.53 per gram, the 18 carat scrap average is £19.91 per gram and the 22 carat scrap average is £24.31 per gram.</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at the prices that <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a>, gold coins and <a target="_blank" title="gold scrap" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/selling-gold/selling-gold-scrap-and-gold-jewellery">gold scrap</a> was sold for on eBay this month:</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" title="Krugerrands" href="../gold-coins/krugerrand-gold-coins"><strong>Krugerrands</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>The South African Krugerrand is a 1 ounce <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href="../buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a> coin.</p>
<p>On the 27<sup>th</sup> November, a 1974 Krugerrand sold for £890 after receiving 3 bids.</p>

<p>In eBay shops a buy-it-now price of £925 was achieved for a Krugerrand in immaculate condition</p>

<p><strong><a target="_blank" title="Gold sovereign" href="../2009/10/23/the-gold-sovereign-coin/">Gold sovereign</a> coins</strong></p>
<p>Gold sovereign coins are always popular on eBay, and this month is no exception.  The full gold sovereign weighs a fraction under 8g of 22 carat gold.</p>
<p>The common George V full gold sovereign has been selling for around £210-220 this month, although a 1917 sovereign from the Melbourne Mint sold for £266 on 28<sup>th</sup> November.</p>
<p>A high price was achieved for a rare 1817 George III sovereign in uncirculated condition, which went for £1,295 on 2<sup>nd</sup> November.</p>
<p>The cheapest price paid for a full sovereign was £185 for a 1974 sovereign on 20<sup>th</sup> November. The description and picture of this coin was so bad that the buyer had to take a risk with what they were getting.</p>
<p>Someone was lucky enough to pick up a real bargain with a 1906 half sovereign going for just £75. At that price you could buy one of the new quarter sovereigns.</p>

<p><strong>Scrap Gold</strong></p>
<p>Scrap gold is something else that continues to sell well on eBay with the prices achieved being close to what you would get by taking your scrap gold direct to a dealer.  On 28<sup>th</sup> November 29.4g of 9 carat scrap gold sold for £310.85 which at just over £10.57 per gram is a little above market price.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gold prices have endured a certain amount of fluctuation throughout the year of 2010, in line with the continued economic downturn and subsequent recovery. However, on average the value of gold has risen steadily through the fiscal year, soaring from a unitary cost of £24.09 in April to £27.50 in early November. The value of gold emerged from a troubled 2009 and consolidated steady growth through the summer months, leaving a bountiful market and tremendous opportunities to<a target="_blank" title=" sell gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> sell gold</a> to the renowned winter consumer demand. This year has proven the assertion that the average value of gold actually rises during times of depression or economic decline.</p>
<p>Indeed, for those with the acumen and capital to buy gold throughout 2009 and the early months of 2010, their investments could reap solid rewards. For hoarders and traders, there is an expectation for the price to peak through December, therefore providing the optimum time to cash in, both in terms of the gold’s market value and the level of demand present within the marketplace. The rise in the price of gold is also reflected in the average unit costs of 14, 18 and 22 carat scrap items, with an increase of £3.00 per range between April and November 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Specialist Items And<a target="_blank" title=" Investing In Gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/gold-coins/collect-gold-coins-for-a-gold-investment"> Investing In Gold</a></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>In terms of buying gold for an incremental investment, gold coins and bar format <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a> are two of the most popular choices. These items are very collectable, and there are many individuals who will purchase gold privately for a negotiated fee (in line with the specifications and overall value of gold). Such investments have historically proved popular, as fluctuations in the price of gold are not as drastic or changeable as other investment commodities, and this trend has continued through 2010. Coins and bullion are an ideal source of financial insurance, as they will also retain a value within the market.</p>

<p><strong>Gold Bullion And Proof Coins</strong></p>
<p>There are subtle differences between gold bullion coins and gold proof coins however, which are significant in terms of their cost and value when considering selling gold. Gold bullion coins are valued and costed strictly on the levels of gold and precious metal they contain, whereas gold proof coins are designed and produced as specific collector items, so can carry additional value depending on the individual theme of the coin and the collector in question. All gold coins, whether they be classic or contemporary items, are very popular amongst private collectors and investors alike. These are viewed a being similar to currency rather than a commodity, as whilst its value and cost will dip and soar, gold and gold coins can never be rendered worthless or without value.</p>
<p>One of the most popular and valuable gold bullion coins on the market is the South African Krugerrand. There are coins available between 1967 (the year of the<a target="_blank" title=" Krugerrands" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/gold-coins/krugerrand-gold-coins"> Krugerrands</a> inception) and the current day, at an ever steady average cost of £860.00 (with an estimated gold cost of £800 per ounce). They are not aesthetically pleasing and nor were they ever designed to be, but they remain popular due to their predictable and reliable value over a distinct period of time. Another reason for its demand amongst investors and collectors is that it is an example of legal tender in South Africa, the Krugerrand can be imported into many countries world wide without the charge of import tax, VAT or duty.</p>
<p>A more economical and historic bullion coin renowned throughout the gold industry is the sovereign. The demand for these coins has experienced a sharp increase through the summer and peaked in October 2010, as collectors clamour to purchase these at the vastly reduced cost as compared to the Krugerrands. The sovereign range of rings is the most competitively priced within the gold bullion market, with a vastly superior profit to be made on resale as opposed to other coins. In addition to this, sovereigns are exempt from the burden of Capital Gains Tax in the UK, and are also a far more attractive and stylish design of coin for collectors. Their historical merit is also a significant consideration to a discerning collector.</p>
<p><strong>Gold Bullion Bars</strong></p>
<p>The popularity of physical gold bullion as an investment items was maintained through 2010, due in part to the global financial uncertainty and the fact the physical bullion does not depend on a suppliers pledge to pay. This removes a huge element of risk present in other services and commodities, giving an investor insurances as to the security of his capital. In addition to the bullion coins, gold bullion can be purchased in single bar format, and there are a surprising range of designs and choices available to the consumer. Quite often, however, if a specific type of gold bullion bar is required then the supplier will need to be informed as many simply sell bullion as an investment rather than a specific, collectable item.</p>
<p>The most in demand and commonly requested are Swiss gold bullion bars. Switzerland is renowned for its gold and banking, but many of its physical bars are rarer items. An example is the Swiss Volksbank bars, which are a rare commodity especially in the 1000 gram mould, and require much research to source from suppliers. Bars from the famous UBS Union Bank in Switzerland are also popular items that are often requested, due to the renowned name and the distinctive shape and dimensions, and these bars are also available in sizes ranging from 100 to 500 grams.</p>

<p><strong>Continued Growth</strong></p>
<p>A review of the price of gold in 2010 would have to conclude that, despite fluctuating financial fortunes in various national economies, gold has managed to maintain a steady inflation in unit cost and value across all its designs and formats. Whether scrap gold, gold bullion or gold coins, the steady increase in value and price is an indication of the special properties that gold as a material holds as an investment opportunity, and the gold industry is predicted to see further growth throughout 2011. It is easily sourced, is not susceptible to the risk of failure to supply or to pay, and due to government borrowing sees its value increase through times of economical hardship. If 2010 has proved anything, it is that there is no more reliable physical investment of capital than one that is made in gold.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are considering<a target="_blank" title=" selling gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> selling gold</a> jewellery because you need quick and easy cash then here are a few tips that may help you choose the right company to sell to. Because of the <a target="_blank" title="price of gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/the-price-of-gold-march-2010">price of gold</a> being higher than it has in quite awhile <a target="_blank" title="selling gold jewellery" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/selling-gold/selling-gold-scrap-and-gold-jewellery">selling gold jewellery</a> to a precious metal &#038; diamond buyer will usually get you a better price and a more satisfying experience than you will with a pawn broker. This is because the metal buyer is interested in buying your gold jewellery so they can melt it down and isolate the gold metal from other metals and impurities.</p>
<p>When jewellery is being purchased for its gold content the value will be in direct correlation with the daily price of gold in the stock market and usually giving you a much better price. When looking around for the company you want to deal with you may consider comparing a few websites of interest to this website at Money4Gold.co.uk. They are a well established and reputable precious metal &#038; diamond buyer and an excellent website to compare other companies to and assist you with making this important decision.</p>
<p>There are many possible reasons for needing extra cash but no matter what those reasons are, selling gold jewellery that is just put away in a jewellery box and never looked at or used would be an excellent option. There would be no need to apply for a loan and then have to pay it back plus interest. There would be no need to have to ask a friend or relative to loan you money when you can get it quick and easy by selling gold jewellery online.</p>
<p>You may even benefit if you were to sell it whether you need the cash or not and put it somewhere it can gain interest so you&#8217;ll have it when you need it and maybe a little more with the interest! This will be taking advantage of the higher value now instead of waiting until the price of gold goes down to sell it. The privacy and the security these websites use make it much safer to sell gold jewellery online than it is to go into a pawn shop. The gaudier the jewellery is the heavier the jewellery usually is and with a precious metal &#038; diamond buyer, heavy can be good&#8230; very good! This of course will depend on how much of the &#8220;heavy&#8221; is gold.</p>
<p>So if you are in need of cash for helping ends to meet, because the car needs new tires, the children need new clothes, the family wants to buy a piano, or for any reason your heart desires you can earn it by selling gold jewellery online today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, many people are selling things to find more cash to pay the bills.  There is always some cost that you forgot to allow for, like a school trip, the road tax on your car falling due or the central heating boiler breaking down.  When these things happen to you, you may start thinking of selling a few things you have to raise a little money.</p>
<p>Most people have got various old, or broken items of gold jewellery tucked away someplace safe. This may be necklaces, odd earrings, rings, bangles, fobs or gold wristwatches that don&#8217;t work. Should you retrieve this old gold in the back of a jewellery box, you may think that nobody could possibly buy it. In reality, regardless of how bent or damaged, gold will always hold worth.</p>
<p>Scrap gold will be melted and subsequently remade into something else&#8230;another item of jewellery or possibly<a target="_blank" title=" gold coins" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> gold coins</a>. Many years in the past, coinage in use was made from solid gold or silver. This made it possible for the wealthy, who amassed a multitude of gold coins, to have them melted down and fashioned into things to adorn their houses or themselves. If they found that they needed some extra ready money, the trinkets could be made back into coinage over again. </p>
<p>Gold is a fixed resource; it can&#8217;t be manufactured and can be near indestructible. As this is the case almost all the gold that has ever been mined is still around someplace.</p>
<p>For years, the cost of gold has commonly increased. While it varies from one year to the next and even day by day, we can say with certainty that in future gold will cost more than it does today.</p>
<p>Should you have gold that you could part with, what will be the best method to sell it? When you require cash for the gold swiftly, then there are currently one or two alternative ways to sell scrap gold swiftly. Your simplest is to take your scrap gold items to your district jeweller, even though you may not obtain the highest price here and you will probably have to prove your identity.</p>
<p>The second method may be to avail yourself of one of the gold purchasing businesses that often advertise on television and on the internet at this time. They will give you a set price based upon the weight and fineness of your scrap gold and can ordinarily pay you very fast, often within 48 hours.</p>
<p>An alternative system to sell gold anytime you aren&#8217;t in such a hurry could be to put it on eBay. Using this way could get you a good price but do be sure to weigh, portray and also illustrate your gold for sale.</p>
<p>You need to provide the weight in grammes, without including any gemstones or non-gold pieces. You will also have to understand the carat of your scrap gold. Much gold jewellery produced in the UK will be 9 carat or 18 carat and<a target="_blank" title=" gold sovereigns" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/2009/10/23/the-gold-sovereign-coin/"> gold sovereigns</a> are 22 carat gold. Pure gold is 24 carat.</p>
<p>The majority of scrap gold dealers should notify you at once the price for each gram they will pay you for the various carats of gold. It is improbable that any scrap gold dealers can give you the full scrap value for your gold items as they need to make a profit as well. The one method that you may perhaps get higher than the present scrap value for old gold is if you sell it on eBay, however then you will have to pay sale expenses so, as a result, you will most likely be no better off in the finish.</p>
<p>The alternative to this, can be if you hold some vintage gold jewellery to sell that is in good condition or old gold coinage. These items could be worth better than scrap worth so you need to take them to a jeweller&#8217;s shop or your nearest auction house for a further valuation prior to opting for selling them as scrap.</p>
<p>If you discover any gold items that you think may possibly be of greater value it would be sensible discovering what the hallmarks mean. Each and every item of gold jewellery should be hallmarked. These marks provide the carat of the gold items, the place where it was hallmarked, the year it was made and the maker&#8217;s mark. Should you come across an item that has no hallmarks then often it is possibly very old, very worn or not really real gold at all.</p>
<p>You might be able to get the information you will need about the hallmarks on the internet or ask your nearest jeweller, or auctioneer. You may simply get a hallmarks book in online stores. Usually modern gold sold in the UK should be hallmarked with either .375 which denotes the item is 9 carat value, or .750 which is 18 carat value.</p>
<p>Learning whether your gold pieces are 9 carat value or 18 carat value before selling to a jeweller will give you a much improved indication of what your scrap gold is worth. It is not likely that you will discover any pure 24 carat value gold, unless you have stored any <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a> under the floor!</p>
<p>Undiluted gold is too malleable to be used for jewellery or coins. Gold that bears a lesser carat value than 24 will have had other types of metal included for durability. The less the carat value number the less the pure gold content. Now, as a rule silver or copper are used with the pure gold to give it more strength.</p>
<p>The most vital detail to remember is the fact that the higher the carat value, the more your gold is worth. So the scrap worth for 18 carat value will be double that for 9 carat value. If you are aware of the carat value of your <a target="_blank" title="gold scrap" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/selling-gold/selling-gold-scrap-and-gold-jewellery">gold scrap</a>, the next most essential factor is the weight.</p>
<p>It is important to get an accurate weight for your unwanted gold &#8211; your bathroom scales will not do the job. You want a digital jewellery weighing machine. If you do not own one of these, you may acquire one on ebay for a few pounds. Or take your old gold to your nearest jewellers and ask them to weigh it for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://goldupon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gold-rings.jpg"><img src="http://goldupon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gold-rings.jpg" alt="gold rings" title="gold rings" width="300" height="219" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-110" /></a> </p>
<p>You will need to know the weight of your scrap gold in grammes. When you know the carat value and the weight of your gold scrap it is straightforward to work out its price. For instance, if a jeweller tells you that they will shell out £7 per gram of 9 carat value and you own a broken necklace, a bracelet and a couple of charms that jointly weigh 24 grammes, then this jeweller should pay you £168.</p>
<p>It will soon become obvious that, to know whether this is a great price, you need to pay attention to today&#8217;s scrap value of 9 carat gold. There are a lot of sites where you will find this. Some newspapers will publish daily prices for gold.</p>
<p>But be careful, the price you notice may perhaps be for pure gold and additionally most likely per ounce, not per gram. This calculation can be somewhat more awkward and you will probably have need of a calculator.</p>
<p>Divide the value given of gold an ounce by 31.3 &#8211; this will give the price for each gram.</p>
<p>Next divide this figure by 24 and multiply by 9 if your gold is 9 carat, or 18 if 18 carat value.</p>
<p>This will then give you today&#8217;s value for your scrap gold per gram.</p>
<p>Now simply multiply this sum by the amount of grammes of scrap gold you want to sell and this gives you the rightful price.</p>
<p>If the scrap gold dealers offer is much below this then look elsewhere or sell your gold jewellery on eBay. But no jeweller will give you 100% of the price as they need a cut for themselves.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Most people have some old, out of fashion or broken pieces of gold jewellery stashed away somewhere. These can be chains, odd earrings, pendants, bracelets, charms or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FWatches-Luxury-Premium-Designer-Quality%2Fb%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D169863031%26ref_%3Dsv%255Fwatches%255F6&#038;tag=silvantibuyis-21&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450">gold watches</a> that no longer work. When you find this old gold lying around in the bottom of a drawer, you may think that nobody could possibly want it. In fact, no matter how worn or broken, gold will always have value.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Gold can be melted down and then remade into something else&#8230;a new piece of jewellery or even<a target="_blank" title=" gold coins" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> gold coins</a>. There was a time, many years ago, when money in circulation was made from gold or silver. This made it possible for the rich, who accumulated lots of coins, to have them melted down and made into items to decorate their homes or themselves.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">In the event that they needed some extra cash, their items could be melted down and turned into coins again. Gold is a finite resource; it cannot be created and is virtually impossible to destroy. Because of this almost all the gold that has ever existed is still around somewhere.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Over the years, the value of gold has an upward trend. Even though it fluctuates from year to year and even day to day, we can say with confidence that in years to come gold will be worth more than it is today.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">If you do find that you have some <a target="_blank" title="scrap gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/scrap-gold">scrap gold</a> that you would like to sell, what is the best way to sell it? If you need cash for your scrap gold quickly, then there are a couple of different ways to sell gold quickly. The first is to take your gold items to a local jeweller, although you may not get the best price here and you will have to prove your identity.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;">The second way is to use one of the gold buying companies that constantly advertise on TV and online at the moment. They will offer you a set price calculated from the weight and quality (carat) of your gold and will usually pay out very fast, often within 24-48 hours.</p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">One other way to try to sell your gold if you are not in quite such a rush is to use eBay. This can get you a good price but do make sure to weigh, describe and photograph your scrap gold for sale accurately.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">You will have to give the weight in grams, not including any stones or non-gold items. You will also need to know the carat of your gold. Much of the gold jewellery made in the UK is 9 carat or 18 carat and<a target="_blank" title=" gold sovereigns" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/2009/10/23/the-gold-sovereign-coin/"> gold sovereigns</a> are 22 carat. Pure gold is 24 carat.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Most dealers will tell you in advance how much per gram they will pay for the different grades of scrap gold. It is unlikely that any dealer will offer you 100% of the scrap value for your gold as they need to make a profit too. The only place that you may get more than the current scrap price for your gold is if you sell it on eBay, but then you will have to pay sales costs so you will probably be no better off in the end.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">The exception to this of course is if you have vintage or antique gold jewellery to sell that is in good condition or old gold coins. These things can be worth a lot more than there scrap value so you should always take them to a jeweller or your local auctioneer for a valuation before considering selling them as scrap.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">If you have any gold that you think may possibly be valuable it would be worthwhile finding out what the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1851491694?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=silvantibuyis-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=1851491694">hallmarks</a> mean. Every piece of gold jewellery should have hallmarks which will tell you the carat quality of the gold, the place where it was hallmarked and the maker.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">You may be able to find the information you need about the hallmarks online or ask your local jeweller, antiques dealer or auctioneer. Modern jewellery sold in the UK will usually be hallmarked with either .375 which means the item is 9 carat gold, or .750 which is 18 carat.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Knowing whether your gold items are 9 carat or 18 carat before selling to a dealer will give you a much better idea of what your gold is worth. It is unlikely that you will have any pure gold (24 carat) unless you have any <a target="_blank" title="gold bullion" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/buying-gold/gold-bullion">gold bullion</a> stashed under the floorboards!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Pure gold is too soft to be used for jewellery or coins. Gold that has a lower carat value than 24 has had other metal added to it for durability. The lower the carat number the less the gold content. Commonly silver or copper are used to mix with the gold and make it stronger.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">The most important thing to remember is that the higher the carat number, the more valuable your gold is. So the scrap value for 18 carat gold should be twice as much as for 9 carat gold. Once you know the carat value of your gold, the next most important thing is the weight.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">It is essential to get an accurate weight for your scrap gold&#8230;your kitchen scales will not do the job. You need a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%255Fss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Ddigital%2520scale%2520pocket%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&#038;tag=silvantibuyis-21&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450">digital jeweller&#8217;s scale</a>. If you do not have access to one of these, you can buy one online for a few pounds. Or take your gold to your local jeweller&#8217;s shop and ask them to weigh it for you. They may make a small charge for this.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">You need to know the weight of your gold in grams. Once you know the carat value and the weight of your scrap gold it is simple to calculate what it is worth. For example, if a dealer tells you that they will pay £7 a gram for 9 carat gold and you have an old chain, a bracelet and a couple of rings that together weigh 24 grams, then this dealer would pay you £168.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">Of course, to know whether this is a good offer, you need to know the current scrap value of 9 carat gold on the open market. There are a number of websites where you can find this. Cooksonsgold.com will give you a good idea. Some newspapers also give daily values for gold.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: black;">However, bear in mind that the value given in the newspaper will be for pure (24 carat) gold and also probably per ounce, not per gram. This calculation is a little more complicated and you will need a calculator.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="color: black;">Divide the price of gold per ounce by 31.3 &#8211; this will give you the price per gram.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="color: black;">Then divide this result by 24 and multiply by 9 if your gold is 9 carat, or 18 if 18 carat.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="color: black;">This will then give you today&#8217;s value for your gold per gram.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="color: black;">Now just multiply this by the number of grams of scrap gold you have and you will have the true value.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span><span style="color: black;">If you find that the dealers offer is dramatically below this then look elsewhere or try selling on eBay.</span></span> But don&#8217;t forget that no dealer will offer you 100% of the value as they need to make a profit themselves.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Where can I go to sell my gold?  The easy answer is you don’t have to <strong>go</strong> anywhere!  There are so many companies around these days where you can just visit their website or give them a call and they will be happy to send you a postage paid gold bag where you can just pop any unwanted gold items in and send it back to them.  Most of these companies will pay you within a day or two and some even pay in cash.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where can I go to sell my gold?  The easy answer is you don’t have to <strong>go</strong> anywhere!  There are so many companies around these days where you can just visit their website or give them a call and they will be happy to send you a postage paid gold bag where you can just pop any unwanted gold items in and send it back to them.  Most of these companies will pay you within a day or two and some even pay in cash.</p>
<p>You can also <a target="_blank" title="How To Sell Gold For Cash | Cash For Gold" href="http://howtosellgoldforcash.com">sell gold</a> at jewellers’ shops or pawn shops but if you are going to do this make sure you shop around to get the best deal and check out the scrap values of gold online first.</p>
<p>The value of your gold depends on its carat.  Most gold jewellery in the UK is 9 carat.  If you want to check for yourself you will need a magnifying glass or a jeweller’s loup (eyeglass) to see the tiny hallmarks stamped on the piece of jewellery.  9 carat will be marked .375 or 375, older pieces may be marked 9ct and foreign pieces may be marked 9k.</p>
<p>Better quality jewellery and rings containing good diamonds or other gemstones, may well be 18 carat gold.  This will be marked .750 or 750 and older pieces may be marked 18ct.</p>
<p>Most of the jewellery found in the UK is either 9 carat or 18 carat gold.  Be on the look out for 15 carat jewellery as this can often be antique.  Much Victorian and Edwardian jewellery is marked 15ct and older pieces may well be more valuable than modern gold jewellery.</p>
<p>If you have gold items that are foreign, particularly American, you will probably find that they are stamped 10k or 14k as 10 carat and 14 carat gold are the most usual types of gold to be found there.</p>
<p>If you want to sell your gold for scrap, be aware that 18 carat gold is worth twice as much as 9 carat.  As I write this in October 2009, 9 carat gold is worth over £7 a gramme for scrap and 18 carat over £14 a gramme.</p>
<p>Selling gold is usually something that you will do once or twice to raise some cash or just get rid of some broken or unwanted pieces.  But if you do intend to start buying and<a target="_blank" title=" selling gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> selling gold</a> as a hobby or an investment, you would be wise to invest in a hallmarks book and learn at least the basics of British hallmarks, so that you can buy with more confidence.</p>
<p>You can often pick up pieces of good used, vintage or even antique gold jewellery and sometimes gold coins at antique fairs, auctions and online.  It is even worth a look at your local car boot sale and flea market as it has been known for people to pick up very valuable pieces of gold jewellery for a song at these places.  So it is probably not a good idea to try and sell your gold at boot sales or flea markets as people shopping there are looking for bargains and may not be prepared to pay a good price for your gold.</p>
<p>When selling your gold, try popping in to your local auction house on a day when they are not having a sale.  The auctioneer will often take a look at your gold for you and give you an idea to its value as he will be interested in selling it for you.  It is important to remember that if you do buy or sell gold jewellery, trinkets or gold coins at an auction you will pay commission on the sale or purchase and also VAT on top.</p>
<p>This should have given you some ideas of where to sell gold.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Unless you never turn on the TV, you will be aware that the entire UK seems to be talking about<a target="_blank" title=" selling gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> selling gold</a> at the moment.  There are numerous advertisements from the many companies who want you to sell them your <a target="_blank" title="scrap gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/scrap-gold">scrap gold</a>, broken gold jewellery, and any other unwanted gold you may happen to have lying around your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unless you never turn on the TV, you will be aware that the entire UK seems to be talking about<a target="_blank" title=" selling gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/"> selling gold</a> at the moment.  There are numerous advertisements from the many companies who want you to sell them your <a target="_blank" title="scrap gold" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/scrap-gold">scrap gold</a>, broken gold jewellery, and any other unwanted gold you may happen to have lying around your home.</p>
<p>This is a consequence of the state of the economy.  In a recession<a target="_blank" title=" gold prices" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/the-price-of-gold-march-2010"> gold prices</a> always rise and now prices are at an all time high.  The companies who want to buy your gold are gambling that there are still more price rises to come.</p>
<p>There is also the added factor of the recent distrust in banks as safe places to put your savings.  Add to that the pathetically low rates of interest being paid by the banks and building societies and putting money into gold seems like a better idea than ever.</p>
<p>Of course, this does also make it a good time to sell gold.  The price you can get now is far higher than you could have expected a year or even just a few months ago.  Gold prices hit a high of $1,000 per ounce earlier this year and have now gone well over that.  The scrap price of 9 carat gold (most commonly used for jewellery in the UK) is over £7 per gramme when it was less than £5 only months ago.</p>
<p>Now £7 per gramme may not seem very much when you look at the prices of gold jewellery in your local jeweller’s window.  You may find that a plain 9 carat yellow gold wedding band which probably weighs around 3 or 4 grammes is priced at £50, £100 or even more depending on the shop.  However, look in your local pawn shop window and you will see much more reasonable prices on second hand and used gold.</p>
<p>If you own any vintage or antique gold jewellery; sovereigns or any other gold coins then selling to one of the companies that buy scrap gold is not your best outlet.  Antique gold and gold coins are usually worth far more than their scrap value.  Rings or other pieces of gold jewellery containing precious stones are also worth more than their scrap price.</p>
<p>Take your more valuable items in to your local jewellers for a valuation.  But do shop around as some places will charge you £50 for a valuation and others will charge £5.  They may even offer to buy your better pieces from you but be aware that there is no way to do this anonymously as they will require sight of your passport or driving licence before they give you the money.</p>
<p>If the gold that you want to sell is mainly broken pieces of gold jewellery, snapped chains or odd earrings, then one of the big companies that will send you an envelope so you can just pop in your gold and send it back to them, are probably your best bet.  They give a good price for <a target="_blank" title="gold scrap" href=" http://goldupon.co.uk/selling-gold/selling-gold-scrap-and-gold-jewellery">gold scrap</a> and some even send you cash by return.  Ideal if you are in a hurry for money.</p>
<p>Selling gold can be a nice boost to your finances when you need it the most.</p>
