Emergency: Where to sell gold
 

Before anyone tells me to Google, use search, etc. this is an emergency and have no time to research because I don't know anything about jewelry. I would appreciate if I can get serious replies only.

Long story short, mom might not have enough money to get a flight back to Philippines and she might have to resort to selling some of her jewelry.

She obviously wants a place that will give her the most reasonable amount of money. If they're open on holidays (tomorrow) that'd be great too. Anywhere in Greater Vancouver is fine.


Thanks Revscene.

^ i like that place in the mall. most of the workers there are friendly, and they buy higher than some other places, and sell lower than other places. the store itself is nicely organized, and feels much safer handling expensive jewelry.

i use VBCE's prices to check, and JandM is usually cheaper, and buys higher than vbce.

Yeah, J&M have been around since forever in Vancouver. Old man Iorio (Giuseppe) owned the original store, I think. He runs a little stamp and coin shop on Victoria Drive now called Chantou International. Him and his good buddy Benny Lee were the two big stamp and coin dealers in Vancouver back in the day. Honest fellow.

Sorry for the off topic shit............

Thanks for the fast replies guys.

I must have misheard her when she said Tuesday because she just told me that's when she plans on leaving if she can get the funds. Hopefully she won't have to resort to selling her jewelry since they mean a lot to her.

Maybe help her pay for her flight? :smug:


Instead of having her sell off family heirlooms.

Hm, my family had same situation when I was a kid. We had a death in the family, my dad was out of town and my mom had to fly home. She was forced to pawn her engagement ring for the tickets..she was so sad :(

mb, I know how important things like this are to moms, I'd be willing to help you if you need it. I can buy her gold jewlery for market price, I'll hold on to it and let you buy it back at the same price. You give me value+%10 so I'm protected by market fluctuation.

So say your mom needs $500, you give me $550 worth of gold, I give you $500. When you have the cash you can buy it back from me for $500..if you don't come back then I'll sell it to a gold buyer.

Hope you don't need to do this, but pm me if you want.

Wow! Props!

couldn't you just charge the tickets on your credit card giving you time to get the money before your statement comes?

I offered but being young and not being wise with my money (always buying random crap whenever I get paid), it still won't be enough. Don't get paid till Thursday (she's planning on flying out on Tuesday or Wednesday) which sucks.

Hey man, thanks for offering some help. Really appreciate it, very nice of you. Things like this gives me hope in humanity.

I'll PM you if she runs out of options.

I suggested it actually. I don't pay attention to my parents' finances but my dad told me it's not the best idea atm.

Thanks for all the help guys especially during a very tough time.

I normally just browse Revscene without logging on, but when I read your post I had to log on and say you sir are truely a stand up guy.

That's an absolute stand up guy, willing to help out a complete stranger in their time of need. I'm always stunned at the lengths RS'ers are willing to go to help each other out.

OP,

Try giving Cathay Pacific a call. (Not email / not travel agency's)
They do help out those in need to fly back to their home country for emergency's like these.

They have flights from Vancouver to Philippines, via Hong Kong for a short transit.

Wait, OP you're flying on CX?

If yeah, I could help you out. PM me.

i buy from vbce and sell at j and m (coin)

but visit both places for pricing. j and m usually buy for more

As posted above by trip, J&M. I went to J&M a year or two ago, just a block and a half west of Broadway and Main. I thought it was pretty fair, no hassles.

Respect.

This thread is full of win. No asshattery, bullshit, etc.

RS is awesome. Just need opportunities for good stuff to happen. Kudos to OP for asking the question carefully. <----- perhaps not the right word, but RS, ftw!

Redlines_Daily, good on you for offering to help out a fellow RS member. We've all been through tough times and it really hits hard when you see someone else go through the same thing.

Assuming this is a death in the family, don't airlines have a special rate where half of the ticket price is refunded back to you as long as you can prove the death? I know some airlines used to do it.

as today is thanksgiving and everyone contributed so much postive and helpful information. everyone gets a thank from me

I feel the love in this thread :megusta:

I'll paypal you 50 bucks for your moms ticket.

same shit is happening in my family too. My grandma passed away in Jan then grandpa left last week, we need 8 roundtrip tickets from HK to Calgary attending their funeral.$8000 in total spent this year. I feel for you.

If you have a job, why not simply get a loan from your bank?
