Not quite cashies, but Aussie Disposals down my way let a full Drysuit go for $150, work approx 4K new at the time, got it checked out by the dive shop and it was all good to go, at the time I had stopped at the dive shop on my way to AD, if i had only done it the other way round
I went to my local chashies with a roll of silver to see what they'd offer, they don't buy silver, only gold. so i asked how much they pay for gold.. $ per gram value equal to the carat value, so 9 kt gold $9 a gram, 18 kt gold $18 a gram and 9999 gold $24 gram
well their not called cash converters for nothing the turn down and outs "stuff" in to cash for themselves
Is that all, There is a jeweller on the Corner of Hay street and George street in Sydeny selling lunar one ounce s2 rabbits, ox and tiger for $150 each... no prices but when i asked they quoted $150.. i asked if they had the Dragon, they said it was also $150.. Moral... Jewellers only know about 300% + mark-up and obviously apply the mark-up to all items in there shop (i assumed it was just jewellery)... At those prices my collection is worth times more! I wonder if they have ever sold a coin.. they even have the perth mint distributors sticker on there window.. 1for1
That sounds like a perfectly idealised pricing model devised for the clueless masses. We buy gold at $746.4 per ounce for the most pure stuff you have - not even 50% of it's current market value. That's just turning a profit on ignorance. If you did that in the housing market... What a joke.
