Post-its. Don't ask why, I have my reasons.
Also, Yay! First post!
Well welcome to the Escapist, hope your first 'Quoted' message notifier was enjoyable, I still like them!
I've changed my mind, I'll take gold.
I know it'll devalue as I flood the market, but that's exactly why.
I'll take stacks of gold to every reputable dealer I can find, constantly day after day until the price crashes horribly, and puts those shitty fly by night companies like 'cash my gold' out of business, because there's something intensely shitty about realising there's a worldwide recession, and thinking it's the perfect time to buy people's long loved family heirlooms for about 10% of their value because they're desperate. I just hope it all goes horribly wrong and they end up out of business, as I don't like idiots, but people taking advantage of idiots are somehow even worse.
Really tho, who's putting their family jewellery in an envelope marked 'gold' and sticking it in the mail? they're asking to get robbed really. If you're really that stuck, find a reputable independent jeweller to value it for you and purchase it, not some fly by night operation set up just to prey on the weak.
