Selling scrap gold

Post by dundrillin »

Is there a shop in HuaHin that buys scrap gold? Also does any shop sell Scottish oatcakes?

If you can find a shop selling Scottish oatcakes, they'll be worth their weight in gold :duck:

I'd have thought that most jewelry shops would buy scrap gold - you may need to try a few to see if the price varies but I'm sure they all display the price of gold for items on sale so you would expect there to be a link betweeen purchase and sale price.

Every gold shop I've seen displays the buying and selling price of gold.

Depends if the gold is Thai style or European, and what form it's in. And then the lack of assay marking could make it problematic even if it's Thai gold.

I think that is clean ingots,not scrap. I've asked a few and they were not interested.

I am not aware of any scrap buyers in Hua Hin but their are a few in Bangkok. For the scrap you have which I would imagine would be in many small pieces they would probably need to be assayed for finess individually. There are a number of scrap buyers in Bangkok and have posted a link for one of them. I know in Oz scrap buyers generally offer about 50% value of au content depending on what it is alloyed with.
