Gold is good

I made a suggestion in another thread that if someone has any broken or old gold jewelry, watches or coins that have no sentiment you would be shocked at how much you can get for it. My wife and I paid the rent two months ago and were left with little to by food with or put gas in the car. She went on line and found a local pawn shop that everyone spoke highly of. Beware! Lots of crooks in that business. She had a couple old chains. One that she found and one that had been run over plus A couple of single earings. We went to the shop and the two brothers that ran it were the nicest guys. We figured we need 150.00. She handed him the gold, he weighed it and gave har back half of it and said, "you have about two hundred in these two pieces." What a Godsend that was. Fact is Gold is trading between 600.00 and 700.00 per ounce right now and may hit 800.00 by the end of the year. I just thought I would share this as it might help some of you out of a pinch.
