Cash4Gold I finally received my money

Well folks I got my $300 dollars from CashforGold. It took a while and another e-mail but it did come.

For those of you who didn't read the earlier posts, I told them not to melt my stuff to send it back, but they melted it and I had to fight to get what it was worth.

Cash for Gold new offer

I did not get a call or email back from Tony, instead, MIke the manager called me, I explained to him what happened. He had the original emails in front of him, not my latest.

He agreed that I had done my best to follow the directions and explained things happen, (which I agree with) and then he offered my $225 for my items and then rounded it up to $300 for my inconvienece.

I agreed to that amount since that is what I was asking for in my last email.

I had still not received my check so I sent them an email with the correct dates and asked if the check had been sent and if so where to.

I sent the following e-mail:

RE: (Email Case#243238)‏

From: D & M Swoboda (mikeswoboda@hotmail.com)
Sent: Tue 9:52 AM
To: info@cash4gold.com

I sent in my items with the following letter and pictures of all the items:

Dear Cash4Gold,
I am enclosing some of my old jewelry. I have sent you copies of the pictures I have taken along with the weight. All this jewelry states it is 14k gold. I have sent a similar package to GoldKit.com…

Thanks in advance.

**************************************************

I called the 800 # to check on my kit/offer on (Friday) 10/24, I asked the lady if they had received my items and if so what was the offer, she stated she couldn’t tell me what the offer was but that there was a check on its way.

*********************************************************

The day the check was cut and the day it was shipped where 3 days apart, since I am in California, and I work, I got the check at 6pm on 10/28,(wrong date as my earlier email shows was 9/29/8) I called in to let someone know I would not be accepting the cash and how do I go about getting my items back? I was told to mail the check back and once it was received my items would be returned to me.

I also sent an email that same day stating that I would like my items returned to me via UPS with 500 insurance and I gave my UPS number to use.

When I had not received my items I sent another e-mail requesting their return and that is when I received a reply back that they were pending shipment via FedEx.

I must say I am extremely unhappy with this turn of events. If the lady on the phone would have told me the amount of the check I would have told her right then, that I would be returning the check and would want my items returned.

While some of the items where broken, the 6 charms were not, they were in very nice and resellable condition via another source, ie Ebay, Amazon, PennySaver, etc.

When I called in and talked to Tony, an offer of $165.00 was made. I know for a fact that Items #3, #4 and #6 alone I would have been able to sell for more then that. Since I am unable to get my items back, and I made every reasonable effort to follow your guidelines I am requesting $300 for my items.

Sincerely,
Debby

Cash 4 Gold melted my items

I received a call from Tony, at Cash4Gold, so I called them back, he basically tried to tell me that I had 10 days from the date on the check to contact them and I hadn't done it in time.

I let him know that the date on the check was 3 days before the POSTmark and since I was in CA it took about 8 of those 10 days to reach me.

I also let him know that I called and sent an email within those 10 days, he basically said that it was too bad, they had melted the items and he offered me $165 for my items.

I told him I had to think about it and would call them back.

Extra Cash all over your house

As you may or maynot know, from previous posts, I have had my salary reduced by 10%, that's the bad news, the good news is I STILL have a job.

I have been giving out the tips and tricks I use to save and make extra money.

You would be surprised at the extra cash you have laying around your house. Where it is you ask?

Look around, I found $150 in my bathroom, yep that is right. I have ADD so with the attention span of a NAT my followthru sucks. So a while ago, when we had money I bought some Revitalshape (cellulite treatment). It wasn't cheap but they had a deal so I got the buy one get one free deal.

Well out of the 4 I have used 1, yes it seems to work, but for me Follow-thru, you gotta do it everyday, a couple times a day, hell I can't even take my meds everyday!

So, as money is getting tight I was rooting thru my cupboards and walaa, 3 boxes. I looked on ebay, they were going for around 61 plus shipping. I put mine out for 50 plus shipping and sold all 3 in 3 days.

That meant an extra $150 in my bank account!

Look around, got stuff that is brand new with tags in your closet? Shoes, purses, cosmetics? Put it on ebay!

Don't know how to use ebay? I am an ebay pro, everyone comes to me to list their stuff, my parents, my kids, my co-workers, friends, I even list work stuff sometimes to get rid of our excess stock.

If you need my help send me an email with "Ebay" in the subject line, I will be happy to get your going!

Cash 4 Gold where is my Stuff?

I sent an email looking for my stuff

Dear Cash for Gold:

I sent my items in, USPS with a tracking number, you received them and sent me a check, I called & e-mailed to let you know I did not want the check, I wanted my items back. I was told to send the check back and once it was received you would send back via the UPS acct number I provided with a 500 insurance.

As of today I have not received my items back.

I would like to know where my items are and a tracking number showing them on their way back.

Sincerely,
Debby

Cash 4 Gold Saga Continues

I sent this email regarding the check amount they offered:

Thank You

I recommend GoldKit

like GoldKit the best of both "Gold" buyers. They actually sent me an e-mail before shipping a "check" to see if I was interested, since I wasn't and asked them to send my stuff back via a UPS number I provided. They did, very promptly.

I would say keep this in mind, what you "think" it is worth and what they actually pay are obviously two different things.

If I had just sent all the broken pieces of necklaces and rings and charms I probably would have taken them up on their offer, but since some of it was in nice condition I wanted it back, either to keep or sell else where.

This company has another division that purchases "Estate" jewelry, that is probably where I will send some of my other stuff.

Again, I feel that this company was the most professional, with a quick response, complete info on what they received and why the offer was what it was, and sent my stuff back quickly.

A+++ all around.

How Cash 4 Gold "As Seen On TV" Works

Everything we receive is tested to determine the type and purity of the gold. It is weighed and paid by the weight in pennyweight (dwt).

We pay scrap prices; they are very fair but the price does not reflect retail cost or gold market prices. Items with gemstones pay mostly for the weight of any gold in those items.

Unless gemstones are diamonds that are carat or larger, they are considered mass produced or promotional stones (bought in bulk at low cost)and have no resale value.

Gold filled/gold plated and silver items also do not pay the same as gold. They pay only a few pennies per pennyweight.

Old Gold New Cash - other company

Well here is the info on the other packet I sent out. Again I insured myself and sent in my own packaging.
