Gold is one bright spot in an otherwise bleak economy — today it’s priced at more than $1,000 an ounce. More people are taking advantage of the high price by looking no further than their dresser drawers. The idea to host gold parties started after January Thomas got some much-needed cash for her gold at a relative’s jewelry shop. “It’s your grandma’s new-age Tupperware party,” Thomas said. “The only big difference is that instead of having to go buy something you don’t have to buy anything, you leave with money. There’s no other party like that.”
More people are hosting gold parties for fun, charity or to make some extra money, and Thomas is there with her scale and sensor to test the quality and content of the gold. Barb Hendrick attended a gold party recently, hoping to unload jewelry she’d had since high school. She ended up leaving the party with $216 in her pocket. “It’s things I never even use or wear or ever will,” she said of the jewelry. Ann Cusmano, another guest, walked away from the party with over $1,200!
Tuesday, October 20, starting at 7:30 PM at the shul, 17912 Hillcrest Rd., Congregation Toras Chaim is hosting its own gold party. It will be a pareve wine and dessert reception for men and women. You are invited to come, and bring a friend. There is no cost to attend. Just expect to make money before you leave. The more gold you sell, the more money you make, and the more you benefit the shul. It is not unusual for the buyers to cut checks totalling over $10,000. If more than 20 people attend, the shul makes 20% for hosting the event. The buyers are licensed, bonded and insured and are guaranteed to pay you top dollar for you gold.
Pay the bill that just won’t go away, buy a special gift for someone you love (it might be yourself), or just put a little extra in the bank. This is the perfect opportunity to make some quick cash — effortlessly, buy selling that old bracelet, pair of earrings, necklace, or any other gold piece of jewellery that is just sitting in a drawer collecting dust. Platinum, silver and precious stones will be evaluated as well.
