Cashies

There is nothing I enjoy more than walking into a cashies and picking up something completely under valued. I once picked up a pair of $450 diving fins in the boogie board flipper bin for $30. Had the biggest grin on my face when he put them in the bag.

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

was in a random part of town i don't get to very often this afternoon, wandered into the local cash converters, was somewhat taken aback to see about 10 2oz perth mint silver coins in the jewellery cabinet. 2 07 kooks, a s2 tiger and a bunch of s2 rabbits. You hardly ever see bullion coins in cashies.

asked the guy at the counter how much he wanted for them. "$200 each and that's not negotiable"

oh really? that's interesting.

old mate then proceeded to lecture me that silver is $100 an ounce atm and that if they don't sell he'll send them off to get melted and he'll get $100 each for them and he does it all the time. Like actually getting a kinda hostile tone in his voice.

I said to him, i think you'll find that silver is about $28 an ounce at the moment mate, and he talked over me, NO, IT IS $100 an ounce.


was all good, i picked up a couple of cool dvds i was after for $2 each.


Laissez-fare economy and all that.

What a crook. I'm fed up with lying bastards.
 
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

and then they sell 9ct at $51 a gram
 
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..

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.

ROFL those guys are famous. Too bad they don't do buybacks.
