Only a brief article today. The BBC News this morning featured a brief insight to the booming Gold industry.
As they put it 'Kings and Queens' built empires on it; Countries value themselves with it - and now we have the chance to make money from it.
Yes, Gold is at a record high. you only have to walk down Pontypridds high street to see how many businesses are offering cash for gold. The TV adverts are littered with the opportunity of getting some cash in for your gold.
BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR ARE GETTING A FAIR DEAL??
The BBC news did some brief but consistent research. They got some gold, had it valued by an independant gold merchant then sent the exact same gold off to 3 seperate companies one TV advert International, One high street national brand and one other national Tv advert campaign. The reults were/ are astonishing.
As you can see this is a massively disstorted view on valuations. Quite simply national brands are taking advantage of putting cash in your pocket.
My advice is tri fold:
Any how, brief and sweet.
The Best of Pontypridd is all about promoting the best local businesses - through product, service or cost effectivity. Have a quick look at our website - we are new but we are building!
