I sold my gold to a pawn shop and sadly have realized they have ripped me off to the tune of about $300. I was not a saavy consumer and did not do my research until after the sale, after a friend alerted me to my mistake. Do I have any recourse with these people?

There’s a handy calculator at the website above that does all the math for you. It is based on the same formulas as shown here.

I think one could do just fine by visiting several local jewelers in their area to compare what they are willing to pay for scrap.

What have you heard about gold from Dubia? I had recently bought a ring 22krt with a weight of 9.1 grams from the gold Souk there, and was just wondering what you think it might be worth say back in Canada?

Michael: I had two examples going in parallel. Two 30-gram chains: one 14k (solid) gold, and the other gold-filled.

HI, The following statement is from the above article. ” A 30-gram chain marked “1/20 14K” will have at least 5% of 30 grams, or 1.5 grams, of gold.”
It later states, “The gold filled chain has at least $45.25 worth of gold in it.” This was based on a spot price of $938.30.
I may be wrong, but I believe that the correct ending to the first quote should state,” 1.5 grams of 14K GOLD.”
Therefore, if a 30 gr. chain of 14K contains 17.5 grams of “pure” gold, then a 30 gr. chain of 1/20 14K should have 1/20th or 5% of 17.5 grams. This amounts to .875 grams of “pure” gold with a value of $26.40, and not the $45.25 quoted in the article. Thanks
