   OT: Gold questions

   Anyone know how you get paid for scrap gold other than mailing online?   
   Just curious... I know people are cashing in on junk they have. I just   
   went through my Jewelry and have about about 2 oz of junk jewelry (ie   
   things I'll never use again or cheap stuff). I have a few items that   
   are worthless as is; only good for melt value like a kinked chain, a   
   ring where the diamond fell off (;( was my engagement ring too!), and   
   cheesy earrings so soft the first time I went to put them in they   
   broke...   
      
   I was wondering though about cheap gold stuff... how do they value say   
   10k verses 14k verses 18k and so on.  What is the criteria.  Surely,   
   the gold content matters a lot.  Is there a scale somewhere to look   
   at. I don't want to go down to a shop or something and get taken....
