Gold was in the news again last week with gold prices hitting a 6 month high at $1,000 a troy ounce and 9ct scrap gold trading at £6.69 per gram.
According to the scrap gold industry the rising prices has led to record number of people selling old jewellery and even their gold teeth to earn some extra cash.
To raise awareness that scrap gold can be sold for so much money many recycling companies have now launched advertising campaigns on day time TV. Gold Parties are also becoming one of the latest crazes where people meet up in their houses in order to sell off all their old gold.
The most popular way to sell your old gold and jewellery is through one of the many online gold recycling companies. Customers simply send in their old gold and jewellery via free insured delivery, once it is received it will be valued and a cheque sent with a few days.
