I bought 3 more big boxes in the past this is one of the 5 boxes i bought today.
If they are going out of business, how is it you bought 5 boxes in the past? Seems to me you are buying what Cashforgold's untrained shopping mall buyers purchased mistakenly.
Sorry about the pictures they do suck i will upload more today.
Are you providing pictures so that anyone interested can purchase these lots, or is this just a post on your purchase and where others can find the same type of scrap?
I have found 6-22k gold in these boxes in the past i box had 3 ounces of karat gold.
Congrats, that's great. Are you stating this for future auction hype? Or just information?
I have been taking the plated and filled to a buddy and he has been refining it for me. I have been selling it on ebay to.
So you are cherry picking the best stuff, and selling the rest on eBay? Smart, but if that is the case, someone buying on eBay is getting a raw deal it sounds like.

It is all gold in color my camera makes it look really bad
As people on the forum like to say sometimes "all that glitters is not gold" I have 4 large gold coins, all sealed in nice airtight plastic sheaths, very finely minted, I bought for $1.00 at a garage sale, they are not gold, not gold plated, not worth much. They LOOK gold but actually only worth about 10-15 dollars each to collectors. But they are gold in color just like you stated above. I noticed how careful you were to state "gold in color".
but all it is is the stuff that people thought were gold they brought it in and if they did not think it was gold the people would just throw it in the bucket.
Like I said above, I would be more likely to believe these were mistaken to be gold by someone who was not trained properly on how to test gold. I seriously doubt customers are being frustrated and tossing their items in the garbage as they leave. If that were the case, and it happened so often that they were able to accumulate that amount of scrap, they would be telling everyone they didn't have real gold so they tossed it in the trash. What a great business model for a scam artist.
You would be surprized what they missed. Probably why they are going out of buisness.
Like I said above, if they are going out of business, how is it that they sold you some of this same material before, and again now. And if they were going out of business, don't you think they would carefully look over anything they had on hand that might be gold bearing?
Unless the people running the place are complete morons, the cash-4-gold business model is a money maker. Not that I agree with ripping off customers by paying out only a fraction of what the gold is worth, but it is a very successful business model. Someone would have to be a monumental ***** to screw up a business like that. And even more of a moron to sell off scrap, if they are going out of business, without very carefully checking each piece.
I am not sure what your intent posting this is, if it's to show us the type of scrap material you can pick up from a cashforgold place, thank you. If it's to promote an up and coming eBay auction then I would question everything about what you said, very carefully. My intent is not to offend you, I am curious about this because I currently have a deal going with a local guy who buys gold and pays 72% of spot. Just from my experience with him, how much he purchases on a daily bases and how very little he gets scammed, makes me wonder about what you stated in your post. If you are being told it's what customers toss in a bucket, then if I were you, I would question everything they tell you.
If you don't mind me asking, since you posted in the section on where to look for scrap. It would only be fair for you to post what you paid for 250 lbs of garbage scrap.
