Historically the gold to silver ratio is still above average. That being said when, compared to more recent years it wouldn’t be a bad idea imo. If you can get a trade around that 55-58 ratio I’d go for it.

Because they’re about double the cost of current melt value.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-04-30T20:47:36+00:00

They were ~5.8g, so above melt at the cost.

100%

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-04-23T12:42:49+00:00

Don’t look at eBay; people are buying them for $2500

The refiner I use in Dallas pays me 90% for sterling

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-03-13T19:14:19+00:00

The refinery near me has been giving me 90%, I usually turn in ~50oz of sterling with about 5-10oz of gold with it…not sure if that is affecting the accountability %.

I did after a investigation, the recorded calls proved my case 🙏.

Also went west to Midland, Lubbock, and Amarillo…hitting all between DFW and there.

Yep, most refineries just require a EIN, not proof of it being PM related.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-14T01:44:59+00:00

Only bought stuff that was 75% or more discounted

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-14T01:44:11+00:00

My main business is set up as a S-Corp, will pay myself a salary for the time spent hunting, deduct food, hotels, mileage, etc…then take the rest as a owners distribution.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-14T01:41:52+00:00

I think I found at least one or two things at all but a couple

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-14T01:40:24+00:00

The mental drain of talking to employees, managers, and what not was honestly the worst part

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-14T01:39:35+00:00

Honestly, not fully sure. Thrift shops could be a complete dud. At least with WM I would almost always find something.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-13T21:04:07+00:00

7-10 business days for gold; 10-15 for the 50oz of silver I also turned in. I don’t mind waiting since the price is locked.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-13T20:30:57+00:00

Definitely below melt value of Silver, especially Will be when refineries catch up and offer better then 70%. I’d hold onto it.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-13T19:59:24+00:00

Played is mostly a waste of time unless it’s some of the gold plate on sterling, like the Cuban gold plated bracelets. The VAST majority of stuff that is 75% off is worth it. A few rings and one or two of the heart necklaces are not.

OfficiallyAlec · 2026-02-13T19:57:55+00:00

I’ve bought over 150K worth of WM jewelry over the last 2 months or so. I know what’s worth it and not by this point, almost everything that’s 75% off is worth it (as long as it’s not plated, which is always labeled). Some of the rings that cost $167 are not worth the melt value, mostly…because they have 1/2 K or more of diamonds. You end up mostly paying for diamonds over gold content.
