That's a great price. I just recently sent a lot of gold in to ARA my last trip to the states. I really don't remember the details, but I kept the 6 best rings, including PLAT and all rings with diamonds and got 500 more than the pawn shop offered for ALL of what I had. I cashed in $1974.00 in gold and $78.00 in silver. I sold 3 of my other rings for $1500 to some friends from England getting married and she was going to re-do them for their rings. I will post the story after the first of the year, as their wedding is the 28th of Dec. So I will have before and after photos. My friend said the rings turned out amazing. I can't wait to see them. She was going to send pics, but I told her I was actually looking forward to seeing them in person and didn't want to ruin the surprise. It is a really cool story and think it will make a interesting post also.
