Jewelry Investment

[richel0002]

now I am enlightened. thanks mga sis.  2 years ago, i started buying jewelries.. kasi when i am depress, i just look at them, and my mood gets better.  anyway, right now i stopped kasi tighter budget.   it made me realize lang talaga that it can never be an investment..

where does one buy gold bars ba? hehe. if ever i will invest in gold, gusto ko goldbars kaagas, di na jewelry.

[taleebin]

this is good as cash. since sa market pataas ng pataas ng gold rate.

[tasha26]

sisses, where can I sell my jewelry? Ayoko kasi sa pwanshop because they will give me pawning rate. Gusto ko talagang sell. Any suggestions?

[betty]

try mo sa citystate savings bank, they appraise high..

[stormy]

^pati kaya sa diamond sis? May ibinibenta sa akin e sabihin ko na lang punta sa bank na yan sana

[barefoot_taka]

Ako I'm not into buying jewelry. Pero si hubby yun mahilig bumili. Whenever he goes out of the country pag-uwi may dala na. Madalas for me. Eh I'm not into wearing it naman at takot ako sa hold-up o snatch,etc. So ang ending nakatago lang sya. Feeling ko sayang.

[taleebin]

^hindi naman sayang yan sis. pagdating ng panahon magagamit mo padin yan lalo na pag may pangangailangan.

sis..meron ba nabibilhan nito?or bumibili?someone told me that the banko sentral is the only place you can sell a gold bar is this true?

[taleebin]

no. as far as i know, bangko sentral buy in kilos plus you have to show some legit papers. we buy and sell jewelries even the scrap ones.

[taleebin]

[bheso90]

oo nga and i have a sister who bought their wedding ring sa binondo...after 2 months,something went wrong with it...natatanggal [textspeak!] gold color,its not tarnishing or something,its like painted lang in gold and the inside of it steel ata is starting to show and when they took it back and complained about it with a friend who is an employee sa manila city hall...the owner returned na lang their money ...its sa fake!!!

Mga ilang % kaya lower ang cost ng jewlries that you can buy in pawnshop subasta than in regular stores...plus do you know a reputable pawnshops where to buy jewelries and when do they usually do subasta sales?

[taleebin]

depends eh. usually, when pawnshop is having an auction the owner will give the prices basta may percent na ipapatong cause nagbabayad din ng tax sa bir. depende din sa price ng gold sa market. each karat has perspective prices. bukod pa price kung may diamonds. pero compare mo sa jewelry store sa mga mall. oa talaga mga price.

may mga auction sale na nakalagay sa mga pawnshop.

[bheso90]

mag susubasta hunting nga ako sa mga pawnshops,sounds okay for buying lower priced jewelry eh...wala kyang fakes [textspeak!]?haha

[taleebin]

wala. kasi kung meron man masisira name ng pawnshop. saka ibabawas na agad yun sa sahod ng appraiser. (basta kung ano patakaran ng company) pero maeexperience mo naman na minsan mabababa ang kilatis ng alahas ex. 18k daw yung necklace pero pag inappraise talaga hindi papasa sa uri ng 18k lang. something like that.

I tried this mga sis.  I bought a bracelet from a subasta sale sa pawnshop.  Price is Php 12,800.00 (di pa ko tumawad nun,d man lang ako nag try...eh pwede pa pala tumawad).  Then pinaappraise ko sa ibang pawnshop to test na din if its real or kung how much talaga ang value.  Guess what, maisasanla cya ng Php 12,500.00.  Sanla lang un, so how much kya talaga value nun.  I plan to do it regularly then medyo patulugin ko sa bahay then in 1 year siguro, try ko p appraise ulit for pawning, if the price is right..pawn ko na cya at di na tubusin..hehe. kahit 20% [textspeak!] kitain ko ok n... parang 20% per annum na...na di kaya kitain pag nakadeposit pera. ang gold daw kasi pataas talaga ang price at once na tumaas eh di na bumababa.  I remember, 4 years ago, my super simple kwintas ako na gamit ko pa nung hs.. ang sanla nun before is Php 150.00 only...now Php 850 na. so parang ilang % ang pagtaas nya per year?

[birchtree]

^same here sis! i bought a bracelet from an auction sale last dec 2009. price nya was 6750. kahapon naisipan kong pa-appraise and ang sangla is 6800. how much kaya siya if binenta ko na =)

[taleebin]

Oh. Lemme answer. Depends on grams and karat. Talagang nataas value ng gold, even platinum.
