You a Gold Digger?

Gold is very valuable today! If you happen to have some extra pieces laying around, like an earring without a partner, or an unfixable necklace, or maybe even an item from someone you don't want to remember (in my case, Matt had an "extra wedding band" that he didn't need anymore) :) I'd recommend getting rid of it!

If it is in good shape and you have all the necessary details, the best place to sell it would be online, because it still has value to it as a whole piece. If you aren't sure, I'd get it appraised, decide if you like the price or think you can sell it for more. Otherwise, there are some other options that are actually quite popular. 

• You could have a "Gold Diggers Party"where you invite your girlfriends and their gold over and they can leave with the cash. I *believe* that if you host the party, you also get a percentage of the total value of gold sold. (haha... gold sold)
  
• OR you can watch tv... there are commercials ALL the time about different companies setting up (most often at local area hotels- most secure) and you can head in there with your gold and walk out with cash. You can take anything you want, a single earring, a beat up ring, etc... they just melt it down anyways. This is actually what Matt and I did and it was a quick and easy experience. I believe my mom did the same and "banked" pretty nicely :)
• Last but not least, there is always the local pawn shop or refinery! Here is a link to a refinery in Metro-Detroit that will take your "precious metals": http://www.midwestrefineries.com/
