Even though times are tough at the moment in the economy, the price of gold has been soaring and has been reaching record highs. So if you have some unwanted jewellery lying around, now really is the time to sell it!

There are so many cash for gold companies around on the internet as well as high street shops that will buy your unwanted gold so where do you start?? Having a browse on the internet last weekend I discovered that Tesco also has its own gold exchange website and pays substantially higher than other gold brokers. Tesco is a brand that we all know and trust (definitely is my no.1 choice for groceries!) so I was happy to trade in an unwanted necklace that had been sitting in my drawer for the past 10 years for £130 PLUS 130 Tesco clubcard points! Tesco gives 1 point for every £1 in value so it’s a great way to rack up some extra points to save up for that clubcard reward.

Selling gold on the Tesco gold exchange website is really easy, you just have to fill in your details on their website so that they can send you a pack for you to send your gold to them in. Then once you post the gold to them, Tesco will contact you with an offer price and bank the money into your bank account if you accept it. Tesco is currently offering £10.75 per 9 carat gram of gold compared to £7.81 per gram earlier this year so now could be a good time to sell or you could try waiting for a little while to see if the price rises even more. Tesco will buy all sorts of gold jewellery whether broken or old so start routing around for those odd gold earrings or broken watches!

You probably have a few old mobile phones lying around gathering dust so if you’re not using them anymore you might as well make some money by recycling them. Fone Bank is an online mobile recycling company that buys your old mobile phones, both working and not working so you can make some money as well as help the environment at the same time! They pay up to £265 for each mobile phone and payment is made within 2 days. Compared to other mobile recycling companies I think Fonebank is better because they pay you for really out of date mobiles that other companies don’t take.

Recycling your old mobile is a simple process, first search for the phone that you want to recycle on their website, tell the how you would like to be paid (either by cheque or BACS) and then send the phone to them using their Freepost address.

For more information and to find out how much your old phone is worth go to the Fone Bank website.

Has Christmas left you a bit out of pocket and you want to grab some last minute sale bargains? Perhaps you have some jewellery lying around the house that you don’t use or have unwanted gifts? A friend of mine recently recommended a website that she had used before Christmas in order to raise money for gifts which pays cash for gold. MonsterPriceForGold.com is really easy to use and pays more than any gold buying website that I have seen including Tesco!

So if you think you could do with a bit of extra cash, especially with Valentine’s coming soon, this is a quick and easy way of making some money. Simply request your free gold selling pack from the Monster Price For Gold website, send your unwanted jewellery to them and they will call you to make an offer and then pay you in cash, by cheque or bank the money straight into your bank account! It’s as easy as that! They will even buy silverware and platinum items!

Hmmm…. I think I’m going to go hunting around my sister’s room now! hehe….

A great way of making some easy cash is to recycle your old mobile phone. You probably have a couple of old mobiles that you’ve forgotten about lying around in drawers and cupboards, so instead of letting them gather dust you could recycle them with Envirofone and get up to £150 in cash per phone!

Envirofone is free and simple to use.  All you need to do is find your old mobile phone by searching or browsing the website, see how much it is worth and then trade it in! Once you have done the trade Envirofone will send you a freepost envelope so that you can post your phone to them. Once the phone is received, users are paid by cheque or you can even choose to be paid in Argos vouchers.  And if you are feeling charitable you can even choose to donate part of the phone’s value to charity.

For more information and to find out how much your old phone is worth go to the Envirofone Website
