Cash4Gold.com is a division of Albar Precious Metal Refining. The company serves as a mail-in refinery that buys gold, silver and platinum primarily from jewelry.
Many people own gold, silver and platinum as an investment. When they feel that its time to cash in on that investment, they take their valuable metals to a gold, silver and platinum buyer. A gold, silver and platinum buyer will usually pay cash for these metals. Some gold, silver and platinum buyers prefer to buy the metals pure and won't take jewelry or anything else that might have components other than gold, silver and platinum in it. Other gold, platinum and silver buyers will buy anything with those metals in them, and will melt them down to get the materials they want out of them.
