Do you have much 'scrap gold' around your house?
I keep seeing these commercials for those "we'll buy your scrap gold" companies, and I wonder if I should take them up on their offer.

I mean, I can't even get to the kitchen from the dining room because of all the scrap gold cluttering up the place. I'm embarrassed even to have friends over, lest they think less of me because of all the scrap gold.

Thank god we have access to entities that will take this glittering eyesore out of my life.

1. Where do you mail all your scrap gold to? Nigeria?

Is that where the business is located?

3. A British guy on tv told me that I could trust him
After he'd demonstrated a revolutionary floor cleaning system in another commercial, how could I not trust him?

2. I've got a couple 50-pound slabs in my closet, but they're really dusty.
I'd hate to have some complete strangers see me as some sort of slovenly person for having a dusty closet. Guess I'll just keep my 100 pounds of dusty gold... Sigh.

9. All the scrap gold cluttering up the house really IS an inconvenience...
Edited on Wed Dec-03-08 01:03 AM by adsosletter
I constantly have to shake-down company before they leave. And my wife has expressed a singular lack of understanding for my need to strip-search her friends... :D
