EricTh Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Does anybody know where's the best place (price) to sell second hand gold jewelry in Chiang Mai or Bangkok? No, it's not gold bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post meechai Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) If it is Thai gold (96.5%) then pretty much all gold shops offer same price per weight x spot price Prices are usually posted outside most shops or on the wall In Chiang Mai may as well go to the big guys at Warorot mkt etc Edited January 14, 2020 by meechai 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneZero Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I'm curious too because I have some of the 99% jewelry purchased at Venus Jewelry on Wireless Rd in BKK 40yrs ago that needs to be traded in. I'm in CM now & some gold shops tried to give less than the spot trade in value for the 96.5% variety. The original selling shop (BKK - Wireless RD) suggested a trip to Chinatown in BKK. I just haven't had the time to do it yet. Edited January 14, 2020 by OneZero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david555 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) link to a tool for gold jewelry value selling price gold.yabz.com/jewelry.htm , but I have my serious doubts your jewellery would be 99% , as it would be too soft for jewelry , as Thai 96% is already quit soft , that is why 18 karat is used in the west , I hope not your 99% sold to you is in real 96 % Thai gold as the shops would give you ….. could be the reason , as for bullion only they use the 999.9 mark Edited January 15, 2020 by david555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teak Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 A long time ago when I was far more foolish....I gave a woman X $ with a gold chain guarantee, which I wore around my neck like a peacock. My Thai male friends said "let's check it." They threw it across a concrete floor and it bounced. Gold does not bounce. Plated gold metal bounces. I would do the concrete floor test first.....then an accurate gravity test, prior to selling. If we have not made mistakes....we haven't lived ????
