First came plastic Tupperware parties and now sitting rooms across the UK are hosting ‘Gold Tupperware Parties’ – the so-called sociable and fashionable way to get rid of unwanted jewellery.

According to a survey by the Financial Mail, however, opportunistic buyers could be exploiting party hosts and their guests by offering them as little as £1 per gram, compared with a scrap rate of around £6 per gram.

“Door to door companies that set up these parties via leaflet drops are not offering sellers the true value for their unwanted gold,” says Vivien Brown of top gold buying website Post Gold Get Cash. “It is so important that sellers go to the reputable website that has a proven track record of high customer service and seller satisfaction.”

Post Gold Get Cash only sends money to customers when they are 100% satisfied with the valuation. There is no rush to make a decision on your valuation or pressure to sell. Brown adds: “The idea of selling in a high spirited party atmosphere just doesn’t make sense. Always go to a trusted, reputable website for the best service and the best deal on your gold.”

Gold today hit a new high of $1020 per ounce prompting more and more people to cash in their jewellery. Gold dealers reported high volumes of business as people are choosing to beat the credit crunch by turning unwanted gold into cash.

Mrs Davis a housewife from Taunton in Somerset said “With the gold price so high and the recession continuing it makes sense to sell something I never wear”. She sold her gold through one of the leading online players www.postgoldgetcash.co.uk and was very pleasantly surprised by the price they paid her.

“I couldn’t believe the price they paid for a necklace that had just sat in a drawer for years” said Mrs Davis. She went on to say “I posted my gold in their secure envelope and they called me the next day with the price and by the following day the money was in my account. They were really helpful and polite too.”

More and more buyers are springing up on the internet to buy gold but some are less scrupulous than others. John Dawson of Post Gold Get Cash told us “Some buyers just post a cheque and expect the customer to accept it. At Post Gold Get Cash we always call the customer to give them the valuation and make sure they are 100% satisfied”.

So if you are going to sell your gold online use one of the most reputable players such as www.postgoldgetcash.co.uk
