Question by Redvioletskydancer: One of my favorite sellers, the Maryland Comptroller, is selling a gold certificate/ebay. Can you get gold4it?
Can you turn it in for real gold somewhere? If so where and how? It is a 20 dollar certificate for 1922. Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by esIf it is U.S. Currency, the answer is “no”. Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard. If you want to buy gold, you can do it safely online and hold the bullion yourself. Try www.golddealer.com- one of many good sites. If you have an account with a brokerage, you can buy the gold ETF (the ticker symbol is GLD). If you think gold will fall further, you can go short by purchasing the exchange traded note, ticker symbol is DZZ. If you have a commodities account, you can purchase gold futures contracts or options. But what you can’t do, is collect gold from the U.S. Government. If I were you, I’d contract the seller of the gold certificate and find out exactly what it is. he is selling. Best of luck to you and I hope . . . → Read More: One of my favorite sellers, the Maryland Comptroller, is selling a gold certificate/ebay. Can you get gold4it?

Make Money Tearing Up Old Books and Magazines and Selling Them on Ebay

For the past few years I’ve been tearing up old books and magazines, and selling them on eBay. Other people’s “rubbish” is earning me a time – sometimes a great deal more – every single day!

It’s an easy business and items other people throw away can attract fierce bidding and incredible profits for me and other lucky sellers.

We’re selling prints and advertisements, crochet and woodworking patterns, recipe books and other niche market publications, alongside hundreds more totally different items, all taken from books, magazines and newspapers that are available in profusion and cost very little.

Let’s start with old prints, they’re incredibly good sellers, especially popular themes like: animals, sports (especially golf and horse racing), royalty, music hall artists, topographical (named locations) and children. http://www.dishadvice.com

Very early magazines contained lots of prints, the best being Illustrated London News, The Graphic, Sketch, Sphere, and all you do is remove prints carefully, trim the rough edges, package to protect and make them more attractive, then list them on eBay. . . . → Read More: Make Money Tearing Up Old Books and Magazines and Selling Them on Ebay
