The problem with attending a gold party, like any of these tupperware/underwear/candle type parties is that you are going to feel obliged to participate.
The difference is that if you’re not careful, instead of wasting £30 on something you don’t want or need to show support for your friend hosting the party, you could end up losing hundreds of pounds.
As you’ve no doubt heard from all the adverts on TV, the price of gold really is quite high at the moment, in fact it has doubled over the last 4 years.
What this means is that the Gold Party valuer can offer you 50% of the actual value of your gold, and you may still think you are getting a great deal.
So before you go to a Gold Party make sure do the following.

To get an accurate picture of how much your gold is worth, obviously you need an up to date price.
As a traded commodity the price of gold fluctuates constantly, however all the gold buyers that we’ve come across so far base their price on the London Gold Fixing.
London gold prices are fixed twice a day at 1030am and 3pm London time by five members of the London Bullion Market Association. You can read more about the London Fixing over at Wikipedia.
For our purposes we will display the price in Pound Sterling per Troy Ounce as published by the London Bullion Market Association, and the equivalent values of the lesser carats based on that price.
Current Price of Gold – 28th July 2010
| 24 Carat | 22 Carat | 18 Carat | 14 Carat | 9 Carat | |
| 10-30 am | £746.01 | £683.79 | £559.51 | £435.15 | £279.75 |
Remember these prices are equivalent to the prices gold bullion is traded for on the markets and represents the maximum value of your gold.
This doesn’t take into account the cost of turning your scrap gold into bullion or the profits of the gold buyers. 80-90% of this value is realistically the most you can expect to receive and personally I would view with suspicion any goldbuyer offering this value and higher (unless of course their website simply hasn’t been updated following a significant price change).
For help calculating the value of your gold, refer to our guide: “How much is my gold worth”
If you have weighed your gold in either grammes or imperial ounces (for example on the kitchen scales) you can find the equivalent prices broken down on the following pages:

If you are thinking of selling gold, the chances are you have noticed the never-ending stream of adverts on the TV informing you that gold prices are at an all time high and now is the time to cash in.
Whether you should sell now or take a chance on the price rising further is a decision no one can make for you, but assuming you decide to sell, one thing is for sure – You want the best price possible.
