We are regularly asked at gold parties about our policy regarding ordering jewellery featuring stones attached. So, for people who are anxiously awaiting the answer, here it is! We do accept pieces featuring stones. However, we only buy gold, silver and platinum which means we must deduct from the piece’s total weight for the weight of the stones. Our representatives can sometimes remove the stones in the owner’s presence once they have signed a “release of liability” form but we cannot guarantee against damage. If you desire a stone for a specific reason, we recommend there is a professional jeweller remove the stone before selling your gold, silver or platinum to Ounces2Pounds.
How Many Guests Make a Gold Party Successful? Whether you are hosting your first gold party or fifth, Ounces2Pounds is always here to assist. Quite a few hostesses ask for assistance with what percentage of their friends to invite so here is our official opinion on that matter. To start, a hostess can have as many gold parties as they want to! Many hostesses choose to have one for family and close friends, one for work or school colleagues and maybe one for each club, school or charity they are involved as well as. We have discovered the best results typically come from parties between 10 and 20 people in size. We measure success by the quantity of gold, silver and platinum that is purchased by O2P during a party.
Live From Bloomberg Waddell explained how our parties work, “Basically a Tupperware party in reverse. Where instead of coming to your friend’s home to buy some kitchen items, you end up selling gold any old gold and leaving featuring cash.” When asked about the level of trust that exists between Ounces2Pounds’ gold assessors and our clients Waddell said, “They do have a high level of trust, we have the highest grade testing equipment…everything is done using the pc, it’s all very technical but simultaneously this is a party environment. It gives people a good feeling about selling their unwanted gold instead of going down to the pawn brokers.” Waddell continued to say, “We pay between 60 and 80 percent with respect to the spot price, quality and quantity that they are bringing that day.” The amount Ounces2Pounds pays for broken and unwanted gold fosters that trusting relationship.
