Juggling glasses of white wine and baggies filled with baubles, dozens of women descended on a well-appointed Orange County home this week to trade in their old golden treasures for hefty checks.

Sounds more like a travelling PAWN SHOP.

I heard a news story on the radio (I don't know if it was the local or national segment) that these gold house parties are a huge rip off even compared to pawn shops. They give much less than the $1000/ounce current price. The only places worse were the mail in places like Ed McMahon was advertising recently.

That is pretty well on target.

The unmentioned fact is how much did the gold sold for $300 cost when purchased. The women had no clue as to the actual value of what was sold. Other women were selling and the consensus of the thing to do was established.

The herd mentality of this group elected the Messiah

Actually, you can get a better deal buying gold jewelry at a pawn shop these days.
