I'm trying to sell a gold bracelet my wife's grandmother gave to us to sell for her. It is 18k and weighs in at 2 oz. When I take it around to local jewelry stores, I'm lucky to be offered 30-35% of spot value. I've been wanting to send it off to a place like Midwest Refineries, but my wife won't hear it because it's not our bracelet and she is worried something may happen. If I could find a place that insured the delivery, I may be able to convince her. My grandmother-in-law is from a Third World country, so I want to get her the most bang for her buck, and I'm sick of the ridiculous offers I am getting locally. Any ideas? Does anyone know of respectable refineries that have insurance options? I totally understand my wife's concern, but as I said, I don't want to give it away. I'm in Virginia, so if anyone knows of any places around here that pay a reasonable percentage of spot, I'm all ears. Thanks ahead of time!
