The Gold Rush

The price of gold is at an all time high, a newly launched company, TheGoldRetriever.com, is encouraging people to take advantage of this and start turning their old gold into new money. TheGoldRetriever.com offers a rapid response service whereby ‘gold diggers’ can post their old or broken gold jewellery and receive an instant evaluation and cheque. This has sent people checking the backs of sofas and sifting through dismissed jewellery boxes.

Gold is the only worldwide accepted measurer of value. For years now, the price of gold has been in a steady climb. Going from $280 per Troy Ounce in January 2002, to its current high near $1000. That’s a 350% climb in just 7 years!

Greg Heaslip, Director of TheGoldRetreiver.com, holds a PhD in Material Science and is an expert in the field of metals analysis and gold. Commenting on the recent increase in new businesses trading in gold Greg says, “With the steep rise in the value of gold it is no surprise we have seen a number of companies immerge urging people to search out gold items they may have for immediate evaluation. It is important to make sure that your evaluator is not only credible but has relevant qualifications to ensure that you are getting a fair price for your gold pieces.”

Regarding the future of gold prices Greg comments, “I believe the price of gold will continue to rise. Nevertheless, it has been rising for the past 10 years or so and just like stocks or the property market there is always a risk of it tumbling. Therefore, I urge those interested in selling their gold not to wait and then regret not selling. TheGoldRetriever.com makes it very easy for people to do so in a confidential, trust worthy manner by offering an insured postal service”.

Greg explains how the process works, “Customers request online or via phone a ‘Precious Metals Recycle Pack’ that is sent to their home or business. Once it arrives, they package their gold items in The Gold Retriever’s secure, insured and freepost Recycle Pack. Customers simply send us their unwanted gold – be it jewellery, sovereigns, pens, even their gold teeth.

Upon receipt, the company’s trained professionals test all items to assess their value - based upon the quality and quantity of each piece’s gold content. The Gold Retriever uses the latest techniques and advanced technologies to ensure that all jewellery appraisals are accurate.

Once the value of the broken or unwanted jewelry is established, the company promptly phones the customer with an offer. If for any reason a customer is not completely satisfied with The Gold Retriever’s offer, we return everything free of charge in keeping with our 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. However, if this offer is accepted, The Gold Retriever immediately posts a cheque to the customer.”
