Interested In Selling Gold In Milwaukee? Tips From Aqua Owl Gold
Recently we wrote about the hot trend to sell unwanted gold and how several local jewelers were advertising to buy gold and diamonds in the Milwaukee area. Carole Ross from Aqua Owl Gold read our post and left a comment inviting readers to check out their business. And so we did!
Aqua Owl Gold is a business owned by Carole and her husband, Ed, that works with hosts in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois to conduct parties where guests sell their unwanted gold. We followed up with Carole and asked her if she’d mind sharing some of her expertise with our readers in the Milwaukee area who may be interested in selling their gold. Here are some great nuggets we picked up from Carole:
- Look for items around your house that aren’t useful to you – for example, gold chains that are kinked, class rings, out of style jewelry, lost pairs of earrings, old gold watches, and even gold teeth!
- If you have any doubt if something you own contains gold, it doesn’t hurt to have someone take a look at it. Carole said that they can quickly tell if something is gold or not. One of the tests they use is to put the gold piece up to a magnet. If it sticks, then it’s not gold (gold is not magnetic).
- Don’t just go to one place to sell your gold in Milwaukee. If you have the time to see what others are buying for, take the time to check around. If you are invited to a party and you’re doubting the fairness of the price, take it to someone else if you’re not comfortable. Carole said that she and her husband regularly shop gold around Milwaukee in order to try to pay top dollar.
- If you are considering selling gold jewelry that has sentimental value to you, take some time to think about the transaction.
- Recycling unwanted gold is a “green” business. (There are several environmental concerns with mining gold, including the use of cyanide to dissolve and extract gold.)
Carole had a great story about one party they were at. The host threw a couples party and a neighbor showed up for the party without any gold. After getting a better idea of what the party was all about, he left the party to get some unwanted gold at his house. When he showed up with gold watches and his gold chains he used to wear back in the 80′s, everyone started to join in the fun! The guests were having fun guessing how much money he’d get for his gold. Turns out he walked away with $660!
