Cash4Gold (sometimes stylized in advertising as Cash4Gold.com) serves as a mail-in refinery that buys gold, silver and platinum primarily from jewelry.〔Christian Science Monitor ("Got Gold? Why TV ad men want yours" ) February 4, 2009〕 Cash4Gold.com's original ownership team was beset by Better Business Bureau complaints and filed for bankruptcy after overspending on large advertising efforts including a commercial which aired during the Super Bowl. In 2012 the assets of the company were purchased by Direct Holdings Global. The company changed its name in an effort to improve the Better Business Bureau rating; complaints, however, continue about their questionable business practices. ==Process== Consumers request a pre-paid envelope known as a “Refiner's Pack” online or by phone. Customers place their gold materials in the pack and ship it to the Cash4Gold refinery in Florida. A Cash4Gold employee weighs the items, photographs them and assesses the items using such tools as acids, X-rays and electronic testing devices. Then they send the customer a check for a value they determine. Customers are given 10 days from the date on the check to ask for their jewelry back if they are not satisfied with the amount of their check. Many people have complained about the fairness of this process and the valuations of the gold they mailed to the company. Cash4Gold also purchases diamonds, but will not pay for additional gem stones and recommends they be removed from jewelry prior to sending the jewelry for evaluation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cash4Gold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
