<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10275372, member: 10944"]I’d also think an auction house would be a good way to do it. They’ll do 100% of the work. They’ll work to get the best price. All you have to do is drop them off. No haggling, no time wasting. They’ll probably end up with the same cut or less than a store and save you a lot of time. Pick one with a good jewelry person. I’d think most would end up in lots if it’s a better auction house. They’ll know if something is worth pulling to sell individually though. I sometimes wonder if the smaller auction houses that still have a decent following end up getting more though. They might be so grateful for a bunch of gold that they sell each piece individually, possibly achieving a final higher price per piece than the bigger auction house would selling them in lots. I believe I’ve probably seen evidence of this happening but I’ve never done the math. She was smart to buy a lot of gold. Sorry for your loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
