Gold “Medal” Anyone?

March 3, 2010

Here’s a question, anyone have scrap gold metal they just don’t know what to do with?

O2P knows of one person who will be hanging on to hers for a lifetime – because it isn’t scrap!

Congratulations to Amy Williams, “The first individual British gold medallist at the Winter Olympics for 30 years having won the skeleton event in Vancouver.”

What an accomplishment and according to the article in the BBC, Williams has been tucking her gold medal underneath her pillow every night because she doesn’t “really know what else to do with it.”

Williams’ comment made me think…I bet there are a lot of people who have broken, unwanted and outdated scrap gold lying around because they just don’t know what to do with it.

Luckily, there is a solution…you get cash for gold when you sell to O2P!

That way you can get something you will really cherish and possibly want to tuck underneath your pillow every night too.

Selling Gold to O2P = Recycling Gold

March 2, 2010

How will you spend Earth Day 2010? Here is an idea: host a recycling-themed-gold-party!

According to No Dirty Gold’s website, “Minerals are a nonrenewable resource, which means they can only be taken out of the ground one time.  Once mineral deposits have been depleted, the aftermath of a large-scale mining operation is typically a landscape of devastation:  Thousands of hectares of poisoned, rubble-strewn land drained by acidic streams that will likely remain polluted for thousands of years to come.”

With the knowledge of how devastating mining can be to the surrounding people and landscape it is important to do what one can to mitigate these effects.

Thankfully, almost everything today is recyclable – including your old jewellery!  

To sell scrap gold rings at an O2P Pure Gold Party is recycling at its very basics, much like collecting and recycling aluminum cans. However, selling your old gold to O2P will be far more profitable for you and the environment!

Not to mention the added value of having a fun night out with your friends and the cheque you go home with!

A £ for Your Thoughts – Figuratively Speaking

February 24, 2010

In addition to making a 10 percent commission from your gold party’s total payout and a 3 percent commission from each party booked at your event we have also offered booking incentives.

 Our latest incentive, a spa weekend for two at Champneys, is soon to be awarded to one of our lucky hostesses and we are looking for our next great incentive!

 In the past we have also offered champagne to get your party started but we want to know what you would really be keen on getting or possibly winning.

 Send us your thoughts and maybe it will become our next great-give-away!

 Cheers!

Fool’s Gold or Hidden Treasure?

February 23, 2010

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner you may be wondering if that pot of gold in your closet is real or not so much.

Fortunately, O2P can help you out whether it is at our office or at your gold party!

We test and weigh everything for you so bring your jewellery and we will help make a determination of its value based on its gold content.

Some true gold may have color variations that will surprise you. On the other hand, some gold plated jewellery is done so well that you might think it is real when it actually turns out not to be.

Either way, our trained experts will help you figure out the value of your gold.

If you feel like experimenting at home…simply run a magnet over your scrap gold. If the piece attracts to the magnet the item could be fake, could be plated or could have a very low karat weight.

Are you involved with a charity and is that charity having a hard time securing donations due to today’s economy? More than likely the answer is “Yes” and O2P can help!

Let us assist you in organising a pure gold party for your charity’s contributors.

Your supporters will receive great prices for selling their unwanted, broken or old gold, silver and platinum while O2P donates 10 percent of the payouts to your charity. On top of that, your organisation will receive a further 5 percent of the payouts from parties booked by your supporters.

O2P is providing an opportunity for charities and their supporters to take advantage of gold being at its’ all time high, while donations are bordering on an all time low.

Private Appointments Available

February 12, 2010

While we believe hosting a gold party for your friends to attend is the most enjoyable way to sell scrap gold to O2P, we also understand that not everyone has the time to do this.

Luckily, O2P offers private appointments at our office locations!

If you have old gold that you or your friends wish to sell but are unable to host a party at your home you can contact us to make a private appointment.

 Please call 0207 745 6268 or email info@ounces2pounds.com if you have additional questions or to schedule an appointment.

You will still make great prices for your own gold and commission on any scrap gold that you bring on behalf of your friends.
