Labbie my dog "wrestled" with me last weekend and my bracelet broke... I didn't realize it was missing from my wrist until Aaron told me. The bracelet was hanging itself on the iron grill at the door... maybe my Labbie hung it there for me to see... (i think my dog is quite clever one... quite..) hahaha....
Since my bracelet is broken and the price of gold has gone crazy and haywire, I decided to let it go....
So...for the first time in history, I "pawned" my gold... I didn't even trade in for some other styles. I preferred the cash...and cash I got! For a simple bracelet, the goldsmith gave me RM650 after minus-ing 26% off the actual price of gold. I remember buying it for half of that price those 8 years ago...
Well, since it was already "broken" and I am a bit "broke", the cash is most welcoming...
(guess Aaron and Andy will be most alarmed to read this....)

i heard you get a better price if you can produce the receipt, that's why all those gold ding a lings we get for our wedding all comes with receipt..
ReplyDeletei hv a piece of broken bracelet given by my uncle as a wedding gift. He has passed away. Part of me wants to keep it for sentimental reasons and the other greedy side of me is tempted to sell off now seeing gold hit all time high.. So, should I or should I not ??????
Gold is always the smartest investments.
ReplyDeleteGood for you,Claire.
hugs,
shakira

Never mind! When your children have graduated and started working, they will buy you a new one with their first pay check! A HUGE one, so huge that you will not find it easy to lift your arm - too heavy!
ReplyDeleteRight, boys? Did you all read that? Key it into your mobiles as a reminder in case you forget!!! (These things - they have to be told! ESPECIALLY BOYS! I know cos I taught boys for so many years before I retired!) Girls are better!)
medie007: i think they will jimat money when they know about this :p
ReplyDeleteelaine: yeah, 1 or 2 percent more.. i think he deduct 26% from me...

ReplyDeletecindy: yeah.. very fast finished too.. buy a bit here and there, habis..there goes my bracelet!
ReplyDeletemama mia: better find it..hahaa.. money talks!
Yea, indeed. Somtimes we spent more than we need, and therefore some instant cash like these are most welcome. Have to wise up next time. Spend carefully. =D
ReplyDeletewow...very good value ya. Now gold are so expensive!! Not good to buy, but good to sell.
ReplyDeleteOhh...nowadays too dangerous to wear gold also la. Better sell and get some money. Unless it is too sentimental to sell la...
ReplyDeletecleff: spend wisely? gosh.. im very guilty now...*face down*
ReplyDeleteannieq yeah, so expensive, cannot buy lok sau...yes, good to sell.. see got somemore to get rid or not.. hahaha..
mNhL: dangerous no doubt.. but i dont hv much gold... i dont buy in fact.. i prefer to spend on household necessities..
Yups... have to spend wisely. LOL... sometimes, we tend to buy things we don't need and without thinking. It's somewhat a luxury that we can do without, and when we think back, we would regret the decisions that we made. Ahahaha...I was like that when i was in college, but now not anymore.
ReplyDeletemoney money..

ReplyDeleteLucky that you found the bracelet! I would do the same I think, trade the broken one in for some cash! I must go look in my jewelry box and see what I might be able to part with.
ReplyDeleteandy: work? hahaa..instead we have to work for her, picking up her poo each day..urgh!!
ReplyDeletefoong: cny around the corner ma.. everything needs cash!
cheryl: dont part with anything if u can help it.. i dont hv a choice, either i pay to repair or get the cash... so i chose the latter..
Claire, i have no doggie at home. So i wrestle with the kids lor..have better excuse..LOL
ReplyDeletemommyling: my kids all big ma.. if smaller, i also can wrestle with them.. haha.. now i sure lose one..
ReplyDeleteWah sampai hati u pawn it... i guess it must have no sentimental value to you? I just lost my wedding ring last month *SOBS* (finger shrunk too much) and lucky is the person who finds it and pawns it *sobs*
ReplyDeletesorry chloe to hear that.. shrunk? then u must eat more..so that the rings will stay in place... yes, no sentimental value one...
