FreeGoldScale.com Brings Transparency to Cash for Gold Industry, Offering Free Digital Scales & Higher Payouts to Customers
Now Consumers Will Know What Their Gold is Worth BEFORE They Send It
February 24, 2009 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
CHICAGO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Chicago Commodities Exchange, Inc., announced today the launch of FreeGoldScale.com. FreeGoldScale provides a free digital gold scale to customers looking to sell their gold. FreeGoldScale is the only online gold buyer to give customers the knowledge of what their gold is worth prior to sending it.
“With gold prices at record highs, it’s no wonder thousands of people are selling their gold online everyday”
“With gold prices at record highs, it’s no wonder thousands of people are selling their gold online everyday,” stated Joseph Fox, co-founder of Chicago Commodities Exchange. “We believe people deserve more than the typical practice of our competitors. These other cash for gold companies expect you to put your gold in the mail without knowing its value or telling you upfront what they’ll pay. The first time they tell you what your gold is worth is when you receive the check. And, you don’t even know if you are getting paid for its true weight.”
FreeGoldScale puts a free digital scale in the hands of the customer to weigh their items, and provides a real-time gold price calculator on its website to determine what they would receive that day. FreeGoldScale offers a higher payout than all of its top competitors. In addition, FreeGoldScale provides free FedEx® shipping insured up to $1,000. Customers will be paid in less than 24 hours via check, PayPal or wire transfer.
Customers who don’t require a scale can print a pre-paid FedEx label and instructions from the website.
“Until now the industry hasn’t had a high level of transparency even though the consumer deserves it. We are the only online gold buyer that lets customers know what their gold is worth before they send it. There has never been a more important time for the consumers to maximize the amount of money they should receive for their gold,” concluded Fox.
