Sometimes we all get a little homesick especially during the holiday season. For me there is no better memory than the family sitting around the Thanksgiving table and arguing about which college football team is the best. This year I was afraid I would have to miss the family and Thanksgiving Dinner. That was before I discovered I could sell my gold to MyGoldEnvelope.
My college expenses are higher than ever. Books cost more. I am working less hours than I did last year. The idea of not being able to make it home for the Thanksgiving holidays made me sick. My dad said he would pay the airfare but I know he and my mom are going through some tough times, too. Both have had their work hours cut back. I decided to sell my old gold jewelry.
The idea had not occurred to me until my roommate came into my room and showed me how much money she made selling her gold watch and a necklace given to her by an ex-boyfriend. I will never forget her telling me that "at least he was good for something." I started thinking about the old jewelry I had. I decided to sell my gold watch that had stopped working two years before and a couple of necklaces.
I went to the local pawn shop to sell my three pieces of gold jewelry. The pawnbroker did not want the watch because it no longer worked and offered me next to nothing for the two necklaces. I left with all three pieces of jewlery and tears in my eyes.
My roommate sold her jewlery online to MyGoldEnvelope and got the money she needed. I decided to see what I could get for my broken watch and two necklaces. Let me just say that I will be sitting at the table between my two brothers this Thanksgiving.
