A reputable newspaper revealed how reliable (better how unreliable) that are. The result was amazing!<br /> <br /> <b>Price Tactics gold traders: "What did you expect yourself?"</b><br /> Dialogue illustrates strikingly how much buyers proceed and is very familiar to many sellers.<br /> <br /> "Hello, what can I do for you?" asks the man behind the counter. We put some jewelry on the counter. "What do we get for this?" The jeweler slides special glasses on the nose, puts everything on the scales and tap silence some numbers on his calculator. "What did you expect yourself?"<br /> <br /> We keep dumb. "No idea. You're the expert ... but maybe 500?" "I give you 485 euros," said the jeweler without hesitation. When packing up again and turn around to leave the store, we hear the man still call us: "Okay, then 500 euros!"<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>A fair price for old gold?</b><br /> Far from it! For the newspaper in question valued Aurum GmbH, the largest recycling company for precious metals in northern Germany, the value of the five offered jewelry: two rings, two bracelets and a necklace. After a professional analysis using a mass spectrometer called the company came to an amount of EUR 1176.91. This would be objectively real price is more than double, so what the jeweler offered in the example.<br /> <br /> Eight other buyers of gold were visited otherwise. At shop 2 men immediately became suspicious when asked here "what price do you have in mind." "Maybe 600," the test team responded. "I'll give you 620," said the woman behind the counter, and waited for a grateful smile. Vain Messrs goodbye: "No, thank you!" And so it went on: Jeweller 3 offered 890 euros. 4 jeweler was willing to pay. 935 euro But that was 286 or 241 euros less than calculated by Aurum GMBH.<br /> <br /> <b>Sales Tricks dishonest jeweler</b><br /> Dubious jewelers and gold buyers have numerous sales tricks. Besides the tactic to the ignorant layman himself to name a target price scales are often set incorrectly and are useful computational tricks used. The worst thing you can do as a customer is to prove that you're not knowledgeable. Because then you will be mercilessly pulled over the counter. But fortunately not everywhere.<br /> <br /> <b>Mark and hallmarks of quality gold</b><br /> Pure gold is too soft to handle. jewelry to In order to harden are therefore metals such as silver, nickel, palladium and copper added to the mixture, resulting in a gold alloy is created. The amount of pure gold that contains a piece of jewelry, is expressed in carats . Pure gold is 24 karat.<br /> <br /> For example, a ring of 18 karat gold three-quarters (18/24e) of gold. For the remaining part usually consists of silver or copper . By which included metal gold also obtains various hues. Red Gold for example caused by admixture of copper and gold by adding silver, zinc and so on.<br /> <br /> Each golden object traded in the Netherlands, must be provided with a legal hallmark, which ensures that an object contains the correct amount of gold. The Netherlands has four accepted gold alloys.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <ol> <li>14k (585/1000)</li> <li>18 Carat (750/1000)</li> <li>20 Carat (833/1000)</li> <li>22 Carat (916/1000)</li> </ol> <br /> <br /> <b>How can you calculate the value of jewelry itself</b><br /> Who wants to sell a gold ornament, must of course first know what that's worth. And everyone can calculate yourself at home. He therefore only needs a kitchen. Scale<br /> <br /> Example: Suppose a chain bears the hallmark "585" and is 40 grams. Then you calculate as follows: 40 x 585, divided by 1000. Result: the chain contains 23.4 grams of fine gold. At the time of writing (Feb. 7, 2009), the current gold price is around 22 euros per gram. Lies This means that the chain is worth 515 euros. When gold stamped 750 or 833, the formula must be naturally adapted.<br /> <br /> Experts advise gold additionally to ask. Price multiple buyers Owners who want to play in turns directly to an institution like Aurum, precious. But the gold dealer around the corner supplies are old gold in such recycling companies. He will therefore not pay much for gold as the recycling business because he has to make. Indeed profit<br /> <br /> Old jewelry or dental gold is usually melted and sold to the industry or goldsmiths. Aurum GmbH incidentally has specialized in gold alloys for medical applications.
