Gold parties are increasingly a choice for quick cash. There have been numerous television advertisements for gold parties in recent months because of the growing popularity of having fun while making money. It is becoming a national pasttime due in part to massive waves of layoffs. People still need money, but they don t need their broken jewelry. They still want to get together with friends, but they need money to enjoy their times with them. Thus, the gold party concept has something for everybody. It has the monetary attraction, and a rich social element. When the two elements are combined, a fascination takes place and people want to engage even more.
Many people who went to a gold party months ago now want to host their own. Having observed the simplicity of the party, where invitees bring their broken gold and have these assets weighed, then receive a fat check, they are most energetic in helping new people become involved. After all, it is a game in which everybody wins. There is no competition, in fact. The gold party is more of a free flowing mixture of good feelings, precious metals, and cash in hand.
Some are saying that gold parties to help people get higher self esteem because they are using available unused resources to improve the quality of life for others as well as themselves. By simply bringing unwanted jewelry items, old coins, or other estate items that are made of gold, silver, or platinum, they convert undesireable things into desirable cash.
Everybody has something of value to bring to the party. Many women, especially, enjoy looking at all the old jewelry because it s attractive.They are even more satisfied with liquid cash when the check is written to them on the spot.
Gold parties are the new Tupperware parties. They provide a relaxing and fun time of socializing, while at the same time giving members of the group a sense of belonging. It also boosts members self esteem, because everbody brings something to the table, and stories are sparked about how these beautiful artifacts became theirs.
Nobody knows how long the trend will continue, but if one looks at the television ads, the end is nowhere in sight. It is becoming a craze, of sorts. For, who doesn t have something like an earring or a broken necklace? I have even heard of somebody bringing grandpa s old gold teeth to the party!
I have never heard of a gold party that went awry, but it could happen. Therefore, you would want to do some fact finding before jumping right in. If you see an advertisement on the Web, call them and ask some relevant questions, like how soon you would be paid for your items. The answer should be, On the spot. Don t accept waiting days or weeks. Also, you can ask to speak to a representative who has hosted a gold party. Find out about past party members, and try to contact them for feedback.
If you follow through, you should be able to find not only some good money for your unwanted items, but have a great time doing it. Maybe you will meet some friends and open up new doors of opportunity in your life.
