As a friend of mine says “free money is good money”. Unloading junk gold and getting anything is better than nothing. Hopefully, people aren’t sending Krugerrand’s through the mail.
Sell it to someone local, a jeweler you are familiar with. Sending it to someone on TV who is nothing better than a used car dealer is really stupid. I’ve lost large sums of money trusting people like that. Remember, the louder the commercial the lower the IQ of the target audience. And all the commercials I’ve heard are really loud. I have no problem with selling off what you don’t need, especially when prices are high. Just be responsible.
