Cash4Gold Goes On Tour - Consumerist Waits For The Live Album
Load up the VW bus and all of your valuables, everyone! Cash4Gold is on tour! Yes, they hold in-person gold-buying events in hotels—Sean ran across this one in Tyson's Corner/Falls Church, Virginia. In case you trust them enough to give you a fair price on your jewelry, but not enough to send that jewelry through the mail.
Have you, or has anyone you know, been to one of these events? I trust the atmosphere is sketchier than a pawn shop, as opposed to more like Antiques Roadshow.
