Break Even Hobbies?

Wow thats a good price Steve. Ive done ok selling crystalline bits but have yet to find anyone to pay much over spot on placered nuggets. Any tips on finding buyers or how you market them. Thanks!

I do sell my gold regularly, and never sell for less than $2000 per ounce these days.

There is a thread on it at http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/topic/375-gold-over-5000-per-ounce/

 

But short answer is always have it for sale and make sure people know it. Then set your price and stay firm. People will say "oh, that is too much!" And my answer is always "well, thanks for looking" or "thanks for the offer."

 

As long as you do not care if you sell it or not you can almost always eventually get your price. There are people who can buy my house with pocket change. When you find them price is no object - they either want it or they do not. The key is be content to keep your gold but be willing to sell it, but only on your terms. Selling under the gun is always a bad idea.
