Sad Times for Goldbay

2011-12-29T21:37:33Z

It has been very sad for me to watch as my once favorite website drop down to this level. I realize people move on and take on different challenges in life, but I never thought it would get to this level.)

I do not have to sell anymore!!!

2011-10-08T02:17:46Z

Today I got my back payment, disability paycheck and I will not be selling any more of my gold. I have 3 ruptured vertebra along with groupings of many bone spurs. This has made it very tough to work as a carpenter. I have sold a lot of gold I did not want to, but had to in order to pay my bills. Now, I am back to buying only, some of you missed out on some nice gold for a great price. LOL, now you have to bid against me, for I am back as a buyer, ONLY.

WOW 1800

2011-09-25T05:29:48Z

I really never imagined gold hitting 1800 this soon. I thought it might hit 1800 around Christmas.

1700 sure isn't far away.

I have numerous times that gold will hit 2000 by next spring, at this rate it certainly well.

Lets see what you guys have to say.

LEAVE FEEDBACK,,,PLEASE!!!

2011-08-01T03:18:57Z

Buyers, this has been gone over a number of times about who should leave feedback first. I have to admit I am done leaving feedback first, NEVER EVER AGAIN. Why you might you ask!!!?? It's because I ship with insurance and with that insurance comes a receipt. I place that receipt in my glove box. WEEELL, yesterday I finally had had it with all these slips of paper flying all over my truck when I open up my glove box. """52""" RECIPTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT LEFT FEEDBACK!!!! When some one leaves feedback I know they received their piece and I THROW AWAY THAT RECEIPT AWAY. I know I should put them in envelopes but come on I do not sell that much!!! I actually have more buyers who ""do not"" leave feedback than those who do.

Would you buy this gold ??

2011-07-25T01:36:43Z

I can't believe anyone would buy this gold, but some new guy might, this his listing,,,

You will be receiving 1 big nugget and 1 or 2 tiny nuggets if possiblity because of their limited number on sale. The picture I provided above shows you how big they are to a dime. happy bidding.

So what do you get 2 flakes or 3 flakes ?? Look at the wording "1 BIG NUGGET" that is just a down right lie, it is a flake not even a picker NOT EVEN CLOSE to being A NUGGET. There is no weight given so my guess is you'd get 2 tiny flakes. You know some new guy might buy this thinking he is getting a deal, but really he is getting screwed. Heck, this guy is gonna send you the two tiny ones, why, because he can. This is exactly how I got ripped off. Now would you buy this ?? NO YOU WOULDN'T and to me this isn't doing business, it is a clear cut case of ripping off a new, UNEDUCATED buyer.

Gold Refining

Does anyone out there know of anyone who refines small amounts of gold (1 ounce or less)? I have an ounce of clean fines and I would like to have them refined. Ideas?

Calculate gold price

2011-05-23T15:56:49Z

To buy gold you first need to know gold price and how to calculate the price of gold per the unit of gold your buying. What I mean by unit is are you buying 1 ounce? 1/2 ounce? 3 grams, 13.25 grains? 2.3 dwt (pennyweight)? or other?

Gold is measured by troy ounces which is not the same as regular ounces a regular ounce is 28.35 grams and a troy ounce is 31.103 grams so its heavier!! Its important to know this because you wouldnt want to pay for 1 ounce of gold and find out that someone used the 28.35 grams as the weight of your ounce.

Most people will sell gold by the gram or grain or pennyweight (dwt) as to avoid the confusion over the 2 different types of ounces, so lets look at how to calculate gold price.

1 troy ounce = 31.1 grams

1 troy ounce = 20 dwt (pennyweight)

1 troy ounce = 480 grains

Knowing all of the ratios above you can calculate the price of gold for any unit by using the following formulas - Lets use for this example that gold is $800.00 per ounce and we want to figure out the price of gold per gram, to do this you divide 800.00 by 31.1 (there are 31.1 grams per ounce) to come up with a figure of $25.72 per gram of gold. Another way to calculate the price of gold is by the grain (NOT GRAM), to do that you take the $800.00 per ounce and divide it by 480 (480 grains per ounce) to come up with a figure of $1.66 per grain. Finally we can caculate the price per DWT (pennyweight) by dividing the $800.00 per ounce by 20, to come up with $40.00 per DWT. This is just the basics on how to calculate gold price per unit.

Feel free to reply with any questions or comments you have!

Gold will hit 1500, but when ??

2011-04-20T13:24:37Z

Just like 1200, gold will hit 1500, but when ??? It could be by May day. But my guess is June 2nd. Over at Kitco some hotshot's are saying it could hit 5000 by the summer of 2012. I doubt that, but 2000 is not out of the question. With this moron we have as a president, he will lead us to the bottom of the barrel and that means a super weak dollar. Which ='s higher gold price's...

Newbie wants to buy some gold

2011-04-18T21:06:17Z

Hi everybody. I'm new to GoldBay and honestly before today... haven't even heard of it before. I want to buy some gold to collect, and to surprise my kids next time we pan out or cons. Living in Wisconsin, we don't get much more than a few tiny flakes and I want to see the look on their face if they see a couple pickers in there!

I'm looking to buy just a couple grams of pickers for now... but honestly, I'm a little leary of this site. I was planning on buying some on Ebay but this place looks pretty promising. I'm looking at the 11.5 Grams for 412.00 right now, or something along that line. Is something like that common around here?

I guess I'm just hoping that I'll get a few responses from this to let me know it's an active site before I buy. Also is PayPal the preferred method of payment, and does this site pretty much work exactly like Ebay? I don't see "current bid" anywhere though... am I missing it?

Thanks for your help and I hope to but lots of gold here!!

Hey Dave was it rubbing alcohol ???

2011-04-12T23:38:22Z

When cleaning little nuggets up to look their best, do you use rubbing alcohol or?? Some people drink rubbing alcohol, but not me no no no I can afford some cheap vodka. And yes LT, some Panda Express now and then...
