Cash for gold companies offer bad value for debt ridden consumers
22 January 2010 MoneyHighStreet
Cash for gold companies are offering shockingly bad value for debt ridden consumers, a Which? Money investigation has found.
Companies that tempt people to sell their unwanted gold, silver and diamond jewellery items in exchange for cash are offering consumers, many of which are badly in debt, terrible value, according to Which?
Which? sent three pieces of brand new gold jewellery to four gold buyers that advertise on TV, plus three independent jewellers and three pawnbrokers. The TV gold buyers consistently gave the worst quotes.
