How To Make More Money (Part 2) - Scrap Gold Buyers
Finding Buyers For Scrap Gold
In this section, you're going to learn how to find scrap gold buyers. You might think
you will need to automatically send your gold off to a refiner, but that's not the case.
You want to look for other buyers first so you can get more money. Then, you can turn
to a refiner if you can't find someone to buy your gold. With that in mind, I'm going
to tell you how to sell scrap gold:
On eBay To preppers
To investors
Selling Scrap Gold On eBay
In the last section, I talked about selling retail items on eBay. What may surprise you
is you can also make good money selling scrap gold on eBay. Simply weigh some gold that
has the same karat content, bag it up and put it up for sale on eBay. Try this out a
few times. If you have some success, you might want to get an EBay store. That will help
you get more exposure, and the store will also help you build a strong reputation.
Selling Scrap Gold To preppers
A prepper is someone who prepares for a disaster ahead of time. He may stockpile food, water
and other items. Then, if something happens, he will have all of his supplies on hand.
Most people don't realize that preppers also stockpile gold. They do this so they will
have some buying power, even if the dollar collapses. As you know by now, that's a very
valid concern. The dollar is very unstable and isn't backed by anything, so it could
collapse at any time. Preppers can be considered as scrap gold buyers.Many preppers prefer
scrap gold over refined gold, since the government isn't likely to confiscate scrap gold. They
also prefer it because they can typically buy it at scrap price, while refined gold
typically costs a little more. You can find preppers online.
Just Google "Prepper message board" or "prepper forum." A list of results will come up. You
can advertise your gold on those sites. You can also use Google AdWords to advertise directly
to preppers. If you recall, I talked about Google AdWords earlier. I explained that you'll
need to use keywords to trigger your ads. You can come up with keywords that target
preppers. Then, if a prepper goes online to search for gold, there's a good chance he
will find your website. You can also post ads on Craigslist. You'd be surprised by how
many hits you can get using the site. Create an ad that speaks directly to preppers so
you can get the most traffic and the best results. At the same time you can use google
to learn on how to make more money through gold.
Selling Scrap Gold To investors
Some investors prefer scrap gold over refined gold. With that in mind, you should seek out
investors and try to make some bulk sales. You can find investors much the same way you
can find preppers. Advertise on your website, run classified ads and use Google AdWords.
Also, look for forums and message boards. Additionally, have some business cards printed
out. Be sure to mention that you sell gold for spot price to investors. Then, pass those
cards out. Now, you know some ways you can sell your scrap gold. Investors are one of
the best scrap gold buyers.
