the One Show took this up a few weeks back. They had, by weight, 300 worth of scrap gold. That's what a jeweller said he would pay for it. It comprised of necklaces, bangles and rings. No stones involved.
They sent this lot to 3 online/tv gold buyers who offered the following prices.
- 180
- 63
- 60 (this companies TV add said "We will not be beaten on price")
