One of the under covers asked me how much my gold weighed AFTER I made them an offer and SURE, I told them and the weight was dead on… If the customer/cop never asked me the weight I NEVER would have told them… I believe in customer service, though I DONT base what I pay for gold soley on the weight if a customer wants to KNOW the weight of gold, sure, I’ll give it to them… > > Again, the way I see/saw the law is - if you buy and sold gold BY weight you need a certified scale… As Jammer and others have stated, I’ve bought hundreds of items without even LOOKING at a scale… I DO use scales, but as a rough BASELINE for MYSELF and ONLY myself! > > I am successful in a business with 434723442525 cash for gold shops on the same road as me BECAAUUSEEE I operate differently… I actually SELL my good merchandise to wholesalers who then retail the shit for 8 times the amount! All these other little faggot shops are the ones ripping you off! Best way I can compare is going to buy a cat converter brand new and then selling it at a junkyard… A junkyard is going to scrap your shit so they dont PAY shit… If a company that RETAILED cat converters BOUGHT used cat converters, chances are, they would pay more as they have other resources BESIDES SCRAP VALUE!! > > Last, I feel the need to mention that Jason Pierce on the news at ASE Metal in Latham is a fucking JOKE!! He is the WORST of the WORST!! I had a chinese lady come into me a month ago with a TON of 22k jewelry… The shit was stamped clear as fucking day 22k RIGHT on it… She told me she went to HIM, the “leader of the dealers association” prior and he told her it was 18k jewelry and NOT 22k and lowballed the FUCK out of her… I think I gave the woman $1,800 MORE then he did and didnt fuck her over by telling her it wasnt 22k… I PROBABLY could have said yeah, hes right, its 18k and offered her $400 more and she woulda believed it bc it came from two people, but thats not the type of person I am… If I want to make a certain amount of money off of you, believe me I WILL! But im not going to lie and cheat you to make that money… Im gonna make you a fair offer based on TRUE facts and you can take it or leave it… This is how I look at it, not saying you’re at fault, but objectively this is why I think this shit’s a big deal to them: Whether you tell customers how much it weighs or not is irrelevant if you’ve told one person the weight, which you admitted you’ve done. Before or after the sale is also an irrelevant detail. The calibration of your scale is also irrelevant, as well as the fact that you don’t buy solely by weight. If you don’t have a certified scale or whatever the fuck(I’m sure you can’t recalibrate the certified ones), you can change the accuracy of it in 30 seconds(say you need a 5 gram weight to calibrate it, well use an 8 gram weight instead, done). Now I’ll tell you why that’s all irrelevant in your case. You buy your gold based on a bunch of qualities. If you tell one person that their gold weighs 10 grams because they asked, that person used that information in their decision to sell to you regardless of the fact that it’s not the only factor, that you even wanted to tell them, or that no one where in your store does it claim anything about the correlation of weight of gold and amount paid. The point is, if ONE person used the weight you told them in their decision to sell, the law _probably_ states that you need a certified scale or else it would be way too easy to rip people off and you could fuck people on a case to case basis. I say probably because how the fuck would I know but logically that would be a good consumer protection law and I’m sure you’re in trouble because of _something_ along those lines. If you never ever told anyone the weight ever and they never even saw the scales, than I think you’d be good because it was never used in the seller’s decision process, only yours. Just think about it completely objectively. Don’t think about how honest you are or how you’ve never ripped anyone off, or how you never tell customers the weights, whatever put that aside, and just think how easily you COULD scam people operating in this way. And, no offense, but not feeling responsible for something on the website of your own business is a little ignorant, no? ---

I’m sure you got a good lawyer to help, but hopefully they’re not just trying to set an example out of you. I haven’t read the whole thread, but from what I read, they’re not filing a criminal case. It kinda makes me wonder if that is because they don’t have sufficient proof, so they’re settling for a civil case. ---

I stopped reading at page two…but I think its funny that noone knows the facts but automatically assume he is guilty of something because the news says he is or hes charged with something when it hasn’t been proven one way or the other. I also find it funny that people who in other conversations would talk about taking government regulation out of citizens lives are now saying he needs state approved scales…no, unfortunatley you should probably get more than one opinion when trading in jewelry i thought that was common sense but apparently when your strapped for cash trading in your grandmothers holocaust ring you don’t think of these things… And last, i find it hilarious that people who are probably pro-privacy from the gov’t are in this case saying he should offer his scales up if he has nothing to hide…no,if he doesn’t legally need to show inspectors something I wouldn’t either even if they were totally legit. PS i don’t know him from adam but he isn’t immediatly guilty because the news or the gov’t charge him with something. ---

I think I’ll go to my local car dealership and try trading my car in for KBB value…and when they don’t give me what the book says, maybe the state can get involved there too? I mean afterall it is my choice if I want to take their offer or not, right? Just because a source says something is of a certain value, we should expect that value offered to us? GTFO.
