Hello,
I am looking into purchasing small amounts of scrap gold jewelry off Ebay in order to sell to a refiner for a slightly higher price. I have been following the auctions very closely, and have learnt how to calculate old value and so on, however i am still a little unsure of how much to pay so that i can still make a profit; albeit small (i am on 16 so there is no pressure on me, however i would like to pursuit this as a hobby per sea.)
So, if you have past experience practising this technique that plan on venturing into, please shed some light. I have tried -40% (wishful thinking) and then -30% of spot price, but so far no luck.
In particular, i am interested in the right price to pay for solid gold Jewelry (of all karats) in order to sell to a refiner.
cheers, Jake.
