GOLD buyer Darren Harris and jeweller Tan Nguyen will be returning to Ararat for their Cash for Unwanted Gold and Jewellery Day this Monday, 14th October.
\nDarren said the event offers the community a chance to have their items inspected, with services ranging from valuations to advice on
\nselling, remodelling, or repairing.
\n\u201cWe attend with one of our jewellers, Tan, who has been a jeweller for 40 to 45 years, and we basically do everything\u2014look at people\u2019s
\njewellery, coins, collectables, watches, you name it,\u201d Darren said.
\n\u201cSome people just want to know what they\u2019ve got, while others want a valuation for insurance purposes. Others want to sell the items so we will give them what we think it\u2019s worth and they can either sell it or not sell it.\u201d
\nIn addition to selling opportunities, attendees can receive guidance on how to remake or remodel their pieces, as well as honest advice about the best sales options.
\nDarren emphasised that the goal is to provide helpful and transparent information, even suggesting alternative ways to get more value for their items.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s pretty laid back,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cWe will give them advice or sometimes if we aren\u2019t the best option to sell it, we will give them another option where they might be able
\nto get more for it.\u201d
\nThe venture became popular after lockdown due to difficulties in sourcing gold and diamonds.
\n\u201cBut we do it now because we enjoy it more than being in the stores. It\u2019s more fun.\u201d
\nThe day allows for a declutter and for those who have grandma\u2019s engagement ring to finally get it valued.
\n\u201cPeople may just want some feedback on their jewellery, like if it needs repairing, we can give them and idea on what need doing to it, roughly what it would cost.\u201d
\nThe Gold Exchange will be at the Ararat Bowls Club from 11 am to 3 pm on Monday the 14th of October.
