What better than a celebrity review, than the review of the BBC’s consumers’ champion, Dom Littlewood?

In the BBC’s One Show, broadcast on 29/01/2010, Dom was investigating the rise of the ‘postal gold’ operations after a viewer complaint. The gold companies featured on the show were GotGoldGetCash, PostGoldForCash.com, Cash4Gold, Money4Gold and Postal Gold.

Of course, all the gold buyers were proven to be trading ethically and in line with the law – as expected. Admittedly, some took longer than others to return any gold to a customer who had decided to reject the gold buyer’s cash offer.  But, return the gold they all did!

What was interesting, and it is born out by the anonymous gold buying surveys displayed on our site, was that PostGoldForCash.com was the top cash payer, paying more than some of the High Street gold buying traders. What’s more, they were lightning quick to return any gold to customers who did not wish to take up their cash offer.

We’ve taken this programme’s report as a big thumbs up for PostGoldForCash.com

With gold prices at or near record highs, it seems more and more companies are springing up to help you turn your unwanted or broken gold and jewellery in to cash. Day time television is riddled with advertisements promising to rid you of your old valuables and instead filling your pockets with cold, hard cash.

And why not? Especially in recession hit Britain, cash is king and, as the well known supermarket says, every little helps. Of course, with more companies comes more competition and therefore better prices for the sellers as if you’re not happy with a particular valuation you can simply request the return of your gold – the same as you would do when selling to a High Street jeweller.

In fact, the chances are you’ll get a better price for your gold from one of our selected partners rather than a High Street jeweller as the overheads are a lot lower for these companies. The only other option would be to use a pawnbroker which of course means you can always buy back your jewellery at a later date but the amount you’ll be given in the first place will probably be a lot lower.

Of course you are, in effect, being green too when selling your old gold as it will all be smelted back down and used again so in this respect, gold and jewellery are just the latest addition to the growing variety of items that can be recycled or sold for cash to specialised companies.

It’s a shame Gordon Brown didn’t use Cash for Gold Reviews before he sold of the nation’s gold reserves for an absolute pittance when gold prices were much lower. Nice one Gordo!
