I keep seeing all of these commercials on TV about how I can take all of my ugly, unwanted or unused gold jewelry to these places, and they will give me cash for the gold. You basically sell scrap gold to these people. Then they turn around and melt it down and make new jewelry out of it which they can sell. It is textbook recycling.

So I got to thinking about just how much jewelry I have that never ever gets worn. There was a lot! But my pride was not about to let me waltz into one of these places. What if I ran into one of my neighbors there? What if I ran into an ex? How embarrassing!

And that is when I found that you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own home to sell your unwanted jewelry. There are online pawn shops that do the same thing as these stores! So I did end up selling a lot of my jewelry that had not been worn in years. Man, some of the stuff I had was so outdated and so ugly. They didn’t care though. They gave me cash, and I gave them gold they could turn into something nice.
