I bought this as junk jewelry from a place that is now out of business. It was a cash for gold type mail in business. You throw your jewelry and anything else you think is gold/silver in a bag and mail it in. When the company gets the bag they toss everything not gold/silver in a box (I bought those boxes) and then they send a check for the gold/silver to the bag sender. Through some google research that check is usually 10-20% the value of the metal. BBB rating F minus minus.
Two years ago I bought over 300 pounds from the same person. I went through every single piece and found a LOT of AU, AG & GF. I knew the owner had more so every 6 months or so I would send a short text that I was still interested. Well fast foreward. Out of the blue he text me and is moving and wants to sell the rest. I bought the 200 pounds, he had maybe 325 total but wanted more than I wanted to spend. So I made an offer on about two thirds and he accepted.
Well to make a long story shorter, I am going through every piece and pulling out lots of little pieces of gold-silver-gold filled. I am also separating the broken junk jewelry in one box and the nice costume in another box. I have already sold, on ebay, 6 pounds of junk jewelry as MIXED CRAFT JEWELRY. I am starting 3 lb auctions at $35.00 with BIN for $50.00
I know most of this is gold colored, might even be gold plated. If I packaged this in 3 pound lots and sold it for SCRAP GOLD RECOVERY do you think it would be worthwhile for someone to buy and try to extract gold? I would keep the same price unless you think it is worth more.
