Chapter 2420 (5)

I've already rambled on quite a bit, and along the way, I've shared many other shopping experiences, including a lot of stories about looking at and asking about goods. There are still some details about my experience looking at gold jewelry at a certain gold shop, which I won't go into now, but I'll mention them later.

That bracelet looks nice; it weighs several tens of grams and has a wide design, so it would be suitable as a men's accessory.

I asked if the jewelry could be cheaper. Even after the discount, there's still a craftsmanship fee of over a thousand yuan, which is too high. It would be great if you could give me another discount.

Both sales clerks said that the craftsmanship fee for that item had already been discounted. If the customer confirms the purchase, they can request a further reduction in the craftsmanship fee. The pure gold and silver used are at market price, and no further discounts can be offered.

I took off the small gold ring, a solid gold piece worn on my right pinky finger, and wondered how much it would be worth. I was just thinking about it and seeing how it went. As for the bracelet, I really liked it; it was quite nice.

The long-haired saleswoman looked at the gold ring and said the stamp indicated it was 999.99 gold, so there shouldn't be any problem. She offered to help the customer save some money. They could use the 1.6 grams of pure gold covering the bracelet as payment, essentially exchanging it for a different style, plus a small depreciation fee. The remaining 1 gram of pure gold in the ring would be bought back at 900 yuan per gram. As for the silver content, the bracelet's craftsmanship would need to be factored in, so it was estimated that an additional 1500 yuan would be needed to exchange it for the bracelet.

I took back the small gold ring and put it back on my right pinky, explaining that it was made of 999.99% pure gold, with a purity of 9.99%. Some dealers said they would pay a little more per gram than for 999.99% pure gold, so it shouldn't be limited to just 900 yuan per gram.

The long-haired female shop assistant looked at me and said that their shop buys back gold at the price of pure gold. Each shop's buyback standards are slightly different, but the approximate price is similar. There are general market prices to use as a basis for valuation; you can check them online.

I asked how much I could get for the platinum diamond ring I wear on the pinky finger of my left hand.
The saleswoman said that platinum is worth over 400 yuan per gram for buyback, but they don't accept diamonds. She noted that the ring was small, only two grams, and if it was genuine high-purity platinum, the buyback price should be around 900 yuan. She suggested using two rings as collateral, deducting the one-gram or so of pure gold, and then buying the gold-plated silver bracelet for a few hundred yuan more.

I smiled and thanked the sales assistant for her help in figuring out how to spend less money, and suggested I consider changing my jewelry. I plan to keep both rings; I've worn the platinum ring for over a year and the pure gold ring for less than a year, and I'll consider changing them later.

The saleswoman said it was no problem; as long as it was high-purity gold or platinum, she could exchange it for a different design or cash. They also bought back palladium and sterling silver. Their shop had been open for over ten years and they were very professional in the sale, exchange, and buyback of precious metals. If you weren't looking to exchange it and had a limited budget, she suggested buying a few small gold beads to make a bracelet. The shop's prices for pure gold were more affordable than some other gold shops.

I said I'd like to look at the merchandise again and asked if the store had any gold Pixiu pendants. I said I wanted one with a smaller weight.

The female shop assistant went to another counter in the store to get some goods. I also went to that other counter to look at the merchandise; there were chairs on the outside as well.
