Gold for Cash Party

Tonight I co-hosted a Gold for Cash party. And all you people who didn't come missed out!

Almost every person who came left with close to $200 and more room in their jewelry box. We ate, talked, pocketed some cash, talked some more. It was very nice.

The thing that puzzled me however is how few people were interested. We heard all the standard reasons, "I don't have any gold," "I'm a silver person," "I don't know if I trust these people," "My grandma gave me this."

But I don't understand any of them.

If you were alive in the 80s, you have gold you are no longer wearing.

You make like silver now, but that wasn't much of an option 20 years ago, so once again, you probably have gold you aren't wearing now.

And who cares if they are trustworthy? They give you CASH. You don't have to trust them. Is it the best price? Probably not, but seriously, are you going to take it to a jeweler any time soon? I didn't think so.

And did you thank Grandma? Did you tell her how much you appreciated her thoughtfulness? Is keeping it hidden in your jewelry box, never to be worn, honoring the gift? Sell it and give the money to Grandma's favorite charity.

Plus, for me, this kind of a party fulfills so many needs. It allows me to declutter. It brings in cash. It doesn't fill my home with more stuff I don't need. Less junk/more money. A thing of beautiful symmetry!

I love this kind of thing. Thanks to all who participated. I hope you had a great time!
