    So i saw this couple trying to sell their gold jewellery at perthmint. They forgot to bring sufficient id and seems pretty desperate to sell it. Can i like buy it off them for slightly lower prices that valued and then sell it back to PM? I can't see any rules regarding receipts required for selling old jewellery etc. Is this possible?

    You can buy whatever you like from whomever you like.

    ...and then you find out that the 18k jewellery you paid $1k for is just gold plated or filled, and worthless.

    In other words, can you buy jewellery off someone without seeing there ID?

    Yes

    I mean perth mint values it first and offers the price but the couple didn't have enough id so PM wouldn't take it.
