You may have seen the commercials for GoldKit, where you send in your old jewelry for cash. According to the official website they will buy all of your “scrap gold jewelry, coins… you can also sell a gold tooth.” I wish that last bit was a typo, but it is not.
Here is the deal. GoldKit sends you an envelope to put your gold in. You send it back in a pre-paid Business Reply Mail envelope. They send you a letter back detailing what your stuff is worth, and you get to decide if you want to cash in.
How could I possibly resist taking part in this scam? I dashed to the official website and within 48 hours a GoldKit envelope arrived in the mail. Only it arrived unsealed. Classy. I definitely want to send my precious metals in a company’s envelopes when they can’t close properly.
It is time to load my precious metals into the enclosed bag and envelope.
What did I send?
- A necklace I found on the ground
- A golden Dorito
- A SanDisk MicroSD to SD card adapter
- A code cartridge for a blood glucose monitor
- A gold Post-It Note of a treasure chest that I drew
Stay tuned to see how this turns out. I hope the Dorito gets there in one piece.
