Update on my gold buying business

I can’t find my old thread but I started a business last year to buy gold and jewelry and watches locally.

It’s been about a year now. It was actually pretty decent even from the very beginning. My books say I’m up about 90-100k from the time I started.

Gold also went up during that time which helps.

I’d say the only downside is that I’m constantly reinvesting the money to buy more gold or jewelry or whatever so I’m not really seeing the money to just use as cash.

I was nervous at first but so far so good

I have testing equipment. If I tested wrong I would lose I guess.

I think I’ve been pretty good so far.

I’m pretty deciplined about walking away from a deal that’s too close and try not fall in love with an item where I get blinded by profit

The melting comes way after the deal is already done. I haven’t melted most of any of it. But I bought it were I could melt for easy profit whenever I need to

Yes of course below spot.

It’s mostly old jewelry. Not many coins.


Typically 20-30 percent.
