MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1567 Posts	Posted 09/11/2013 6:43 pm Hi all. I buy a lot of silver and gold jewellery to sell on using sites such as ebay as well as private. A lot of the time I get stuff that is broken. I am thinking it may be worth me saving this up and maybe melting it down to form 1 KG bars at some point for me to save. Is this something I can do myself, or is it something that I need to have a company do so I have the bars marked in some way? You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/11/2013 10:35 pm If you are selling it on, you would be best keeping it as is, and selling in smaller amounts. That would especially apply to gold items, where the spend size can be kept smaller, to the buyer's convenience. If your stash is melted, you are up for melting fees. If you wish to have the metal purity of any bar you may wish to sell recognised, assay fees would also be involved. Most small gold and silver trinkets have a mark of purity on them anyway. That would be lost if you had them melted. Report this Post to the Staff

That being said... Walker Silver will melt down sterling silver and cast it into unique (and I think kind of neat) ingots for you -- stamped with their ID and the .925 purity ID, so what you get back is identifiable, credible sterling.
