Gold Parties Help in Economic Recession

Turn Old, Broken and Scrap Gold into Cash!

A reporter from The Miami City Buzz Examiner had the opportunity to speak with Stacey Mikel, president of Fast Cash Gold Parties, to discuss her gold party business, the incredible opportunity it offers... and how exciting it is to see the growth currently being experienced.

In Canada, contact Gold Parties Canada for information about how you can get involved hosting gold parties and making money selling old, broken and junk gold and jewelry.

The result is a full feature interview and story about the gold party industry as a whole and how Fast Cash Gold Parties has been so successful and how its growing so fast its hard to keep up.

"We receive daily inquiries about hosting gold parties in areas all over the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico! It is extremely exciting to see the growth we are experiencing and the many new and excited people we have joining us on a daily basis!"... says Stacey.

According to the article, Stacey figures they average 10-20 gold parties a month in Miami alone.

"Never mind about the bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow. It’s the pile of gold junk in your jewelry box that’s the treasure these days."

Fast Cash Gold Parties is one hot new business originating in South Florida. It has seen great popularity and growth since its inception just two short years ago."In the short time that Stacey Mikel has been running her gold party business, her company has expanded to 10 other states."

"If necessity is the mother of invention then local business owner, Stacey Mikel has found the perfect niche. Florida residents from Orlando to Miami have had fun doing what they've always done-- socializing at parties, but now when the night's over, they come away with extra money to boot."

"Gold parties have been held for all types of occasions: people looking for extra money or to help in raising funds for churches, schools, and charities. Mikel believes the popularity of her business stems from the one-on-one, friendly experience of trading in gold."

Robin Swad writes articles for the Miami City Buzz Examiner and contacted Fast Cash Gold Parties President, Stacey Mikel, to interview her for an article about the company. The full article can be read at Fast Cash for Gold - South Florida Gold Parties Help in Economic Recession.

Gold Home Parties Make Extra Cash During Recession


Host a New Kind of Party, a Gold Home Party, and Send Your Guests Home With Extra Cash!

With the economy in recession and so many people out of work its hard to find something to celebrate, but there is one exception... Gold Parties!

These economic times we live coupled with the rise in gold prices have helped fuel a new kind of party. Now here is a party that's definitely worth the time. It's a party where you leave with more money than when you showed up with... and its called a Home Gold Party!

It's true, with the economy the way it is and so many Canadians and Americans losing their jobs, there's not a lot of people in the mood for parties. But like so many have learned, its a perfect time to host a gold party and make some extra cash to pay bills, buy food, help with the rent or mortgage... or simply to treat yourself and your loved ones to something special.

Turn Old Gold Into Cash

Everyone has old gold rings, earrings, chains and scrap gold kicking around. Well it aint worth a dime stuffed away in a drawer or old shoe box... but it can be turned into cash!

There are options. We have all seen the late night commercials on TV, but if you don't like the idea of having to go into a pawn shop and you don't trust sending off your scrap jewelry and gold to some stranger through the mail, gold home parties offer a great alternative way to turn that old gold into cash... and you can have fun, even build a real gold party business in the process.

Gold Parties are a Quick Way to Make Money

Home gold parties are a great way to make quick money by turning old unwanted and broken gold jewelry and other gold items into cash. We're talking about items you no longer wear. Gold jewelry just sitting in your jewelry box or drawer. It's a genuine 'gold rush' for many women in both Canada and the United States... and its a chance to party with friends, neighbors, workmates, family and lots of gold!

"I was really excited because I thought, oh I've got all this stuff sitting around. Why not see what I can do with it,"says Bernadette Lokken of Columbia county. She attended a home gold party and brought along several pieces of gold to be examined. While some pieces were not as valuable as others, she still walked away with a good deal and a pocket full of extra cash.



"Coming to an in-home gold party is much more trustworthy, relaxing and fun than mailing in your gold and holding your breathe in the hopes you might get paid, its just a much better feeling,"adds a friend who also attended the party.



It was thinking about old pieces of gold just sitting in a jewelry box that prompted Mary Pat Seal to host a gold party of her own recently. Her hope was to turn some gold items she hasn't worn in years into spare cash. "These are things you're never going to use again. For example, I'm selling them my high school ring, something I haven't worn in 25 years."

There are women all across Canada and United States just like Seal who are hosting gold home parties and making extra cash for themselves and their families... some are making a business out of it!

If you live in the U.S. and are interested in learning more, a company called Fast Cash Gold Parties is currently recruiting motivated individuals to train to be regional reps in their area. Their sister company, Gold Parties Canada is doing the same north of the border. Give them a call if you are interested... its a great time to party if its a gold party!

Perfect Time to Host a Home Gold Party of Your Own

"This is the time when people need gas and grocery money. Times are hard so you do what you got to do to supply for your family," says Sara.

A stay at home mom, Sara has been working with gold party clients since March of this year. She has a license to buy gold and works with a refinery to melt it. Sellers have the option of turning down her offer, but for the most part she puts money back into your wallets.

"I paid out $1400 to one single lady,"says Sara. "I've even had ladies cry at my table for 60 dollars. Consider a gold party because you are in the comfort of someone's home and it's a fun environment so you feel more comfortable."

It is true, that although some individuals may discover their precious metals are not worth what they thought they were worth (once you measure the weight in gold), the idea of walking away with cash in hand and a future opportunity to host a home gold party of your own (and make money doing it) makes some customers think they've literally struck gold.

"This is the only kind of party where you will leave with more money than you came with," says Sara. "I guarantee that."

"It is an unusual event when you walk into someone's house with gold in your pocket and leave with money in your pocket," adds Mary Pat.

In Sara's case, she says she pays each gold party attendee about 80-85 percent of the gold's worth, then takes the jewelry to the refinery to be melted down and made into a gold bar.

Gold parties are huge and they truly are a great way to generate a little extra grocery and gas money for you and your family... and they are also a great business opportunity.

Don't miss out.

If you live in the U.S. go to Fast Cash Gold Parties . They are currently recruiting motivated individuals to train to be regional reps in their area. Gold Parties Canada is doing the same in Canada.

Give them a call if you are interested... its a great time to party if its a gold party!

Sell Your Old Gold at Home

Got Old Gold To Sell?

If you've got old gold jewelry or other gold items that you would like to sell, then sell your old gold at home!

Sure there are pawn shops, but they won't give you nearly what your gold pieces are worth. You could try your local jewelry stores, but most make such a huge markup on their new stock they aren't even interested your stuff.

A better idea is to sell your old gold at home!

Sell Your Gold at Home!

It's simple. You invite gold buyers and guests to your home for a party. They are called gold-selling parties, and they are a great way to sell your old and unwanted gold jewelry and make a little extra cash on the side.

The gold home party concept works because the gold buyer is interested due to the large amount of gold jewelry being sold at one sitting. However, the seller should check out a few different gold buyers to determine which will offer the better price.

It's true, you need to do a little research before hosting a gold party in your home. Homework must be done in that the gold seller (you and your gold party guests) should know the price of gold (per ounce) ahead of time. That way you will better be able to see the spread between what the gold is actually worth and what you are being offered.

A little math is necessary to first figure out what percentage of the necklace is gold by its karat weight, and then the weight of the whole necklace. Once this calculation is done, you will easily see the commission or spread in the price of the amount of gold you have and how much money is being offered.

Selling gold jewelry is simply a tool we use in tough economic times. A survival tool for garnering some extra cash for something more important to you than old jewelry you never wear.

So host a gold home party, you might even sharpen up your math skills.
If you are interested in hosting a gold party we can recommend reputable gold buyers for you to use.

If you are in Canada, we recommend you call Gold Parties Canada, and if you are in the States, we recommend you use Fast Cash Gold Parties. Both these companies are affiliated with one another and have developed one of the best and most successful gold home party plans out there.

Learn more about how Stacey Mikel, founder and president of Fast Cash Gold Parties turned a simple gold party into a successful business, a gold buying business that is sweeping the nation.

Gold Coins To Sell?

Turn Unwanted Gold Coins Into Cash...

Welcome to the sixth entry in our Sell Your Old Gold and Unwanted Gold Jewelry For Cash series.

What are Gold Coins

Gold coins are coins that consist mostly or entirely of gold. Gold coins are intended to be sold to collectors, or to be used as bullion coins or bullion currency.

Gold coins are just one more way gold can be used as a method of investment.

Where to Sell Gold Coins

Today, with the economy the way it is, there are many individuals that have in their possession gold coins, which they are planning to liquidate, sell or turn into cash. More often than not, these people do not know where to sell their gold coins or even how much their gold coins are worth.

Knowing the right place to go when wanting to sell gold coins is paramount if you expect to get the best value in return.

Selling Gold Coins

Before you even consider how and where to sell gold coins, it is assumed you've looked after your gold coin collection carefully and kept them in good condition. Any paperwork that is necessary, or perhaps certificates and presentation cases should be in good condition as well.

Things to Consider When Planning to Sell Gold Coins

Ease of Identifying Gold Content - The easier it is determine the gold content of your gold coins, the better the chances for a sale.

Gold Prices - Gold prices go up and down regularly dependent on a number of factors. The price of gold could be going up the very day you want to sell your gold coins, but you can’t depend on your dealer to give you the exact rate.

Discrepancies in Gold Pricing - Gold coin dealers are not created equal. Choose one that is willing to pay you the most for your gold coins.

Selling Gold Coins Online - To sell your gold coin collection online, you can sell your gold coins in online auctions such as eBay or you can find your local gold dealers’ websites and compare their gold rate and what they are willing to pay you in exchange for your gold coins.

You may also try popular cash-for-gold websites. Just be sure you use an online service that comes recommended as being a reliable gold buying service... and once again, you want to use a gold buying service that pays you the best value for gold coins.

Selling your gold coins is the same as selling old gold jewelry. It is simply a tool we use in tough economic times, a survival tool for generating some extra cash for something more important... like paying rent, buying food or paying bills.

If you are interested in creating even more money for yourself, many of these gold buying companies will also help you host a gold buying party.

Gold Home Parties

The way gold parties work is pretty straight forward. You simply invite friends, family, neighbors and co-workers that are interested in selling old gold jewelry, gold coins and anything else they have that contains gold.

Once your guests have arrived and everyone is comfortably settling in socially, enjoying a beverage of choice and some snacks, your gold buying representative will begin taking your guests aside, one by one, and assessing their gold items.

An offer is made. The gold is sold and your guest goes home with money in their pockets. Pretty powerful concept in these tough economic times we live. There is even an extra bonus for the hosting the party. They get a commission from the total gold purchases, and if any of their guest decide to book a gold selling party of their own... the original host gets a commission from those gold home parties as well.

You can even connect with charities, non profits and fun raisers, schools, churches and organizations... even businesses, to host funraisers in support of their cause. Gold buying events such as these can be a real money maker for the person organizing them... or gold selling event host.

So, if you have some gold coins, jewelry or what have you that you want to turn into cold hard cash... and make a little extra money on the side while you do... go ahead, host a gold home party.

If you are interested in hosting a gold party, we can recommend reputable gold buyers for you to use.

If you are in Canada, we recommend you call Gold Parties Canada, and if you are in the States, we recommend you use Fast Cash Gold Parties. Both these companies are affiliated with one another and have developed one of the best and most successful gold home party plans in use today.

Selling Your Old Gold Jewelry

How to Value and Sell Old and Scrap Gold Jewelry.

Welcome to the fifth entry in our Sell Your Old Gold and Unwanted Gold Jewelry For Cash series.

With the economy in shambles and gold prices high, gold jewelry is another type of gold commodity that is a good source of investment, mainly due to its monetary value.

Gold jewelry items like gold rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and pendants can be stunning in both their artful designs and intrinsic glitter, as well as their high price and exclusivity.

Selling Old, Unwanted and Damaged Gold Jewelry

If you have gold jewelry items you would like to sell you need to sort them into two piles, one pile that can be sold as scrap gold and a second for jewelry items that are unique enough and in fine enough condition to still maintain their intrinsic value as jewelry.

The first pile of old gold jewelry can be sold to a gold buyer or auction online, mail in purchase or gold home party as scrap gold. Of course, with the gold home party you have the advantage of getting paid immediately, usually in cash, and you get to meet the gold buyer face to face.

Your second pile of gold jewelry, you may want to think twice before selling as scrap gold, because there may be items worth much more as is. A better approach would be to have these jewelries professionally appraised before making a final decision.

Once you know what each item is actually worth, you will be better equiped to make a decision as to what items to sell as scrap gold and which are to be kept or sold through a jewelry auction, or jewelry store that buys or consigns quality used jewelries.

Selling old gold jewelry for its scrap gold content sometimes returns little when compared to its original value as jewelry, but of course there are exceptions.

Since the prices paid for scrap gold are based on just the value of the metal itself, while completely ignoring the craftmanship, aesthetic, antique, and sentimental value, it only makes sense that not all your old gold jewelry items are suitable to be sold off at a gold party as scrap gold.

Please, use your common sense and if in doubt seek out a second opinion.

A reputable gold buyer, such as Gold Parties Canada and Fast Cash Gold Parties, would point out any items (brought for sale) that they believed where too valuable as is to be sold as scrap and melted down for their gold. Unfortunately, not all gold dealers are so honest. That's why its best if you take responsibility yourself for having any questionable jewelry pieces appraised before selling them as scrap.

Now, having said all that, if you are like most people, although you may have a few select pieces of jewelry unsuited for selling as scrap gold, most of your old, unwanted gold jewelry is comprised of old class rings and rings from long past relationships, broken chains and bracelets, mismatched earrings and just 'plain old jewelry' you no longer wear.

When separating your old jewelry into your two piles, you simply have to keep in mind that there are some pieces that indeed have little or no resale value, other for the gold they contain. These of course are the items you put in pile one and bring to your gold home party or scrap gold buyer and sell for some extra cash.

Lets face it, an earring that has lost its mate isn't of much value and simply must be bound for scrapping.

So, take your good gold jewelries and have them appraised so you know their worth, and remember that any gold jewelry that is less than 10 karats cannot be legally sold as gold. Also, real gold jewelry has the karat amount stamped right into it.

If the stamp is not present, chances are, it isn’t real gold.

Gold Bullion and Gold Bars

Buying, Selling and Valuing Gold Bullion and Bars.

Welcome to the third entry in our Sell Your Old Gold and Unwanted Gold Jewelry For Cash series.

Buying, selling and the valuing of gold bullion and bars is not something many of us will have to, need to, or even be in a position to have the option to do.

But, its still gold and we figured it may be of interest to our readers.

What is Bullion?

A 'bullion' means any precious metal (gold included) that is in a form whose 'primary value' comes from the actual worth of the metal and not from an artificial currency value. The most familiar forms of bullion are coins such as gold bullion coins, or bars such as gold bullion bars.

Both bullion coins and bullion bars are minted and produced by national governments.

Determining the Value of Gold Bullion

The value of any bullion, gold or otherwise, is always determined by three factors:


  • The Value of the Metal – Gold is worth more than silver while platinum is worth more than gold.
  • The Actual Weight – Usually measured in troy ounces, where 1 troy ounce = 31g.
  • The Purity – Bullion coins are usually made with 99.99% purity.

Examples of Bullion Coins


  • U.S. Eagles are coins embossed with the image of a bald eagle. Gold Eagles are 91.67% pure.
  • Canadian Maple Leafs are coins that come with the Canadian maple leaf embossed on the them. Gold Maple Leafs were the first 99.99% pure gold coins to be released.
  • Chinese Pandas are coins that depict a panda bear, the image of which changes each year.
  • South African Krugerrands are the first bullion coins ever released by a nation, and are made of gold.
Where to Sell Gold Bullion and Gold Bars

Any time you are selling gold bullions or gold bars, you need to pay a visit to the nearest gold or coin dealer in your area and determine their actual worth. It is the only sure fire way of knowing you are getting paid a fair price for your gold.

You first need to be clear on what the current price of gold is in the open market. Once you have determined that, the second challenge is finding a reputable dealer who will pay you close to the full value of your gold.

If you are unhappy with what you have been offered by local dealers, you have other options. You could use the power of the Internet and sell your gold bullion and gold bars at auction sites such as eBay. But there are risks in that lesser bids and lower price value are always present.

There are also online gold dealers who will give you cash for your gold. Be sure to check the company’s background before sending your gold using gold kits or envelopes. In fact we don't generally recommend mail-in gold sales as the best option. There are too many variables and unknowns, and once you part with your gold it may be difficult to get it back if you don't like the offer you get.

A better way to sell gold bullion and bars may be to call a gold buyer such as Gold Party Canada and Fast Cash Gold Parties and ask for a private consultation in regards to selling your gold. If you actually have gold bullion or bars to sell, a buyer such as Gold Party Canada or Fast Cash Gold Parties may be able to offer you a fair price by dealing with you directory.

Gold bullion is not something you would generally want to sell at a gold party, but a private consultation to see what they will offer you is worth the effort. With a private gold buying consultation, host commissions and other gold party expenses are eliminated, enabling the buyer to offer you a higher price.

Selling Gold By The Carat (Karat)

How to Sell Your Old Gold and Jewelry By The Karat (Carat).

Welcome to the second entry in our Sell Your Old Gold and Unwanted Gold Jewelry For Cash series.

You may be wondering why in the title we include the word carat spelt both ways... 'carat' and 'karat'. It is because both are legitimate spellings.

Carat and Karat Mean Gold Quality

The carat, or karat, (abbreviation ct or kt) is a measure of the purity of gold alloys. In the United States and Canada, the spelling 'karat' is used, while the spelling 'carat' is used to refer to the measure of mass for gemstones.

Measuring a Gold's Purity
By the Carat: 10k, 14k, 16k, 18k, 22k, 24k Gold


A gold items purity is measured in karats (or carats, its the same thing).

The term 'karat' harks back to the ancient bazaars where 'carob' beans (thus the origin of the spelling 'carat') were used to weigh precious metals... including of course, gold.

24 karat is pure gold, but its purity means it is more expensive and less durable than gold that is alloyed with other metals. Different alloys are used in jewelry for greater strength, durability and color range.

Karatage is the Percentage of Gold

The 'karatage' of the jewelry will tell you what percentage of gold it contains: 24 karat is 100 percent, 18 karat is 75 percent, and 14 karat is 58 percent gold. When comparing gold jewelry, the higher the number of karats, the greater the value.

In determining the purity of gold alloys, carat means a proportion by weight of one part in twenty four or 41.66 parts per 1000. This means that the higher the carat value, the higher the proportion of gold in relation to the base metal content.

The karat (carat) value chart below will help you understand the relationship between the the karat (carat) system and the percentage of gold contained within a peice of jewelry.

Carat Value and its Percentage (%) Gold Content

  • 9k Yellow - 37.5
  • 9k White - 37.8
  • 9k Red - 37.5
  • 14k Yellow - 58.5
  • 14k White - 58.5
  • 18k Yellow - 75
  • 18k White - 75
  • 18k Red - 75
  • 22k Yellow - 91.7
  • 22k Red - 91.7
  • 24k - 100

Selling Gold by Karat (Carat)

It is a general rule that the higher the carat value, the higher the gold content, and the higher the price you will recieve for your gold jewelry items. Whether you are selling a gold bracelet, a gold necklace or a gold ring, you are going to be paid according to the carat value of the item.

You would be well advised to check out your local jewelry shops or gold dealers if you are planning to sell your gold by karat (carat). There are also online gold dealers that will buy your gold, in fact both Gold Parties Canada and Fast Cash Gold Parties will let you do a secured mail-in gold selling transaction, a gold home party or if you prefer, they will come to your home and have a private consultation and gold evaluation.

There are also online auction sites that allow you to sell your gold items by weight, but having looked into all these options, it is our contention that a well planned and organized gold home party is by far the most relaxed, comfortable way to turn old gold items and unwanted gold jewelry into cash, at least for most people.

Gold parties are also one of the fastest way to turn those old gold items into good old fashion cold, hard cash!

Home Gold Parties: The New North American Gold Rush!

Are 'Gold Buying Parties' Really the Gold Rush of 2009?

According to an article published on the Gold Parties Canada blog, they are!

It all began just a short time ago with Stacey Mikel, President of Fast Cash Gold Parties out of Florida in the U.S.

Stacey says, "The main reason I got into the 'home gold buying party' business is because I wanted a way to earn a great income without having to sacrifice my time being a mom. I started out doing gold parties with close friends and family and things just took off. People fell in love with the 'cash for old and unwanted gold party' concept where people actually make money instead of spending it. That's when I decided Fast Cash Gold Parties was something I wanted to share with as many people as possible so they too could benefit from my experience."

Make Money Hosting a New Kind a Party

Their is a New Kind of Party in Town, and You Can Make Your Family and Your Friends a Whole 'Lotto Money' Hosting One.

If you are like most people, you've been to lots of parties. Birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding parties. But then there are the parties you didn't really want to go to, and I don't mean because you didn't like the host.

I'm talking about those pesky parties where 'your friend' invites you to come check out a new line of products thBoldat they can make a commission on if you decide to buy something.

Well afterall, they are your friend so you agree to show up... in reality though, you would rather not be there at all, and you certainly aren't interested in parting with your hard earned money buying some over priced stufferware, cookerware, candles, or'a... intimate, shall we say 'things', that would be better bought in the comfort of a department store or specialty shop.

You all know the types of parties we're refering to. We’ve been to candle parties, Tupperware parties and I'm sure some of you have even been to, yes... sex toy parties.

Will it ever end?

Well, at least now there is new home party in town with a difference.

What is it you're selling, your friends will ask with a sigh. And you will answer... "nothing, in fact you can leave your wallet, purse and money at home. But be sure to bring your old, broken or unwanted gold jewelry... cause we're going to buy it off you for a good price and pay you out in cold, hard cash."

That's right. A whole lot different than having to beg and bribe your friends and neighbors to come over, cause everyone has a basket, tin or container with old, broken and unwanted jewelry in it... and most often than not, that jewelry contains gold!

So now is your chance to make money while you party, and have a few friends over that are interested in making money too.

In fact, if you book your home gold buying party with Gold Parties Canada (if you live in Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or somewhere else in Canada)... or with Fast Cash Gold Parties (if you live in Florida or elsewhere in the United States), you not only get to sell your old gold and get a commission off the gold they buy from your guests... no, there is more!

Any of your guests (attending 'your' home gold party) that recognize the opportunity that home gold parties provide and wish to sieze that opportunity by booking a home gold party of their own... as the host of 'your' gold buying party, you will recieve a commission from all the gold that is bought at any of these subsequent gold buying parties.

Home gold parties truly are an opportunity to make money, and its something that can be duplicated by any one of your guests!

If you live in Canada, we recommend you visit what we believe to be the very best home gold party program currently available in Canada, Gold Parties Canada.

If you live in the United States, we recommend you visit what we believe to be the very best gold buying program in the U.S., Fast Cash Gold Parties.

Gold Parties Canada is actually affiliated with Fash Cash Gold Parties and is the result of Fast Cash deciding to go international.

Give it a try, you will be glad you did. While your guests sip on their glass of wine and nibble hors d'œuvre, an expert appraiser will value their gold jewelry and help them to trade-in their old, broken and unwanted gold jewelry for some good old fashion cold, hard cash!
