Springwise: As the weakening economy causes purse strings to tighten, consumers are increasingly looking for new ways to earn a little extra cash. Enter My Gold Party, which facilitates Tupperware-style parties focused on helping guests sell their unused gold.
Launched earlier this year, My Gold Party sells all the equipment minipreneurs need to host parties in which guests can sell their gold, including a scale, karat tester and book of instructions. Party hosts then invite guests to bring gold coins, watches and jewelry to their party, where they assay and weigh each item to determine its current market worth. The party host pays guests for the items with cash or a cheque, then ships the gold to a refinery, which in turn pays the host—at a rate the host hopes will be higher than paid to the party guests. The gold is then melted down and reused.
Consumers in hard times have always been able to sell their spare jewelry in pawn shops, but by bringing the process out of the back alley and into the living room, My Gold Party legitimises and updates it with a social and entrepreneurial twist.

I took two 10k necklaces to another retailer this morning at 10:00 a.m. before my Gold Party at 2:00 pm. and was told that the necklaces were 10K gold that weighed 25.99 grams and was offered $133.40.I asked Paul how much was he paying at my party for gold per gram and he indicated $7 for 10K, $10 for 14K, $13 for 18k, and $20 for 21k. I knew the two necklaces that I had been offered $133.40 would earn me at my own party $181.93. I know that my guest and I were underpaid and he walked in the door intentionally to deceive and misrepresent the terms of the verbal contract we had made.
