Follow on Google News | Local Gold Buyers Make Big Upgrades- Raise the Bar for the IndustryAugustus Gold and Silver offers a new perspective on the cash for gold industry by changing decades' old paradigms and putting emphasis on 'common sense' techniques.
By: Jeremy Steele Online gold buyers have gotten a bad reputation due mainly to complaints against the industry giants, who do not publish their prices, and incidentally it seems that 80-90% of their customer complaints have been because customers did not feel like they were being paid enough, or didn’t have enough time to reject the payment before the specified time period was up. Their website, http://www.AugustusGold.com, now includes live charts that update their price tables every hour. "Yeah, we didn't mind doing it, really- I mean, we pay about three times as much as most online places, and almost NONE of them will tell you what they pay," said Co-Founder, Ray Holley. "The live prices are great, but we're also really excited about our new relationship with FedEx. Now our clients can print off their express shipping label right from their desktop, and they don't have to wait for us to mail them a refiner's return pack... We figured out that process just wasted too much time and money, and that's usually the two things our clients are the most short on- time, and money!" Holley went on to say that the cost savings from efficiencies such as this are one of the reasons Augustus can afford to pay so much cash for gold in the first place. "With these new upgrades in place, we were able to bring on more help to process packages faster, and we're getting offers back to our clients within 24hrs of receiving their packages," says Nelson. He said that they actually call their clients with an offer before sending payment, and that in two years they have only had one client turn down their offer. Nelson also said that their electronic payment options such as PayPal and direct deposit to the client's bank account are also helping improve the speed of the process. "We know our clients can sell gold and silver jewelry anywhere, but we provide the payout and the experience we feel they deserve... No one else in our industry works harder to make their clients happy, and we know that once we have you as a client, you'll tell your friends and family, too. That kind of reputation is important to us, and that is why Augustus Gold is The Gold Buyer You Can Trust!"
