Only today, flicking through satellite channels, I went from one commercial to another offering "Cash for Gold". Paraphrase: Post us your gold jewellery, and we will give you top market rate and melt it down.On entering my local Westfield Shopping Centre (Frank Lowry) I was greeted by a table with scales and literature and people offering to buy any gold jewelery 'top prices paid' 'turn your gold into cash'. I haven't seen anything like this before either.
I've never seen any adverts like this before.

They are probably just intent on getting it back as an asset likely to retain value rather better than the vast hord of US paper promises they currently hold.Exactly!
