Who is buying the gold?
« on: 10 February 2013, 23:48:16 »

We have a plethora of companies advertising "we buy gold".

Now, if they're buying, they must be selling to someone.
But who?

I'm hoping it's the UK govt buying it to boost our currency.

Or is it some foreign country? Like china?

Not neccessarily a bad thing - the govt can always print more fivers.
They can't make more gold - and we might need the gold to guarantee our new currency

Yep.
That's what I mean.
Is the govt trying to replace that gold by buying up people's jewellery?
Or is it all going abroad (effectively, half the population doing what Brown did?)

Sold some a few months back, just tat that neither of us ever wore, packed it into a pre paid bag and got £1200.00! Paid for the roof repair on the house, a colleague at work whose brother is in the jewellery trade reckons that £1200.00 worth when smelted is probably worth about £3,000.00 so the companies do well out of it.
