Cash4Gold Intrigued by Pamela Anderson’s Precious Metal Flooring

Cash4Gold always has its eye on the gold markets and also tracks precious metals-related news from all across the world. The gold item that caught our attention this week was a highly unusual one involving bombshell Pamela Anderson.

Anderson’s platinum hair and famous physique were actually not what caught our eye (well, ok, maybe we did notice a little bit…) Instead, it was the recent revelation that she was having actual gold tiles installed around the swimming pool of her Malibu home and had platinum flooring in the house as well.

“I’m tiling the floor with platinum, that’s expensive,” Anderson is quoted as telling journalists.

Should Anderson so desire, Cash4Gold would be happy to purchase the gold and platinum tiles from her home. All she would need to do is request a pre-insured, pre-paid envelope from Cash4Gold to get the process started.

For thousands of other Americans all across the country, including many who might now have flooring adorned with precious metals, Cash4Gold is pleased to offer a service that is fast, safe, reliable and 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed.

Cash4Gold Congratulates Soccer Star Landon Donovan on Team MVP Award

Cash4Gold today applauded Landon Donovan, who was recently named the most valuable player on the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team.

Cash4Gold sponsors a variety of sports team and athletes, including the Washington Wizards, the Milwaukee Bucks, Jim Dunn Racing, JD Motorsports and the legendary Randy “The Natural” Couture and a number of other mixed martial arts competitors.

The mail-in gold buyer Cash4Gold, which is currently undergoing an international expansion, released the following statement today praising soccer standout Donovan on his latest honor:


For Immediate Release


CASH4GOLD APPLAUDS LANDON DONOVAN ON RECORD 6TH U.S. NATIONAL TEAM PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD


Pompano Beach, Fla. – October 29, 2009 - Cash4Gold (www.Cash4Gold.com), the world’s #1 gold buyer direct from the general public, congratulates U.S. soccer standout Landon Donovan on receiving the Honda Player of the Year Award, handed out each year to the top player on the U.S. squad. This is the highest honor bestowed upon a U.S. soccer player. The 27-year-old received the award earlier this week at an event in Los Angeles.

Donovan is the all-time scoring leader for the U.S. National Team, scoring 42 goals in his 120 games played to date. He was a key factor in the U.S. team’s qualification for the upcoming South African World Cup in the summer of 2010. The forward notched five goals and added 10 assists in 15 games played this year for the U.S.

“Cash4Gold congratulates Landon Donovan on being honored with this well deserved award. He continues to set the gold standard in American soccer with his skill, hard work and dedication,” said Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson. “Everyone at Cash4Gold is looking forward to watching Donovan and his U.S. teammates take on the world at the World Cup next summer.”

In July, Cash4Gold appraised the melt value of the Gold Cup when the U.S. National Team appeared in the final match against Mexico. The Mexico National Team prevailed and hoisted the trophy in New Jersey.

Following the company’s critically acclaimed Super Bowl commercial earlier this year, Cash4Gold ramped up its sports sponsorship initiatives. The company’s sponsorship portfolio includes the Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, Jim Dunn Racing, JD Motorsports and the legendary Randy “The Natural” Couture, among a number of other MMA competitors. The company has also teamed with three-time Grammy Award-winner MC Hammer to support the international hunger relief organization Feed The Children.

Cash4Gold Says Guten Tag to Germany

Mail-in gold buying pioneer Cash4Gold today opened for business in Germany. The expansion into Deutschland comes on the heels of successful launches earlier this year in Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

The expansion was announced via the press release below:

CASH4GOLD CONTINUES SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN EXPANSION BY LAUNCHING MAIL-IN GOLD BUYING SERVICE IN GERMANY

World’s #1 Gold Buyer Will Exchange Germans’ Unwanted Jewelry for Cash

Pompano Beach, Fla. – October 26, 2009 – Cash4Gold (www.Cash4Gold.com), the company that developed the mail-in gold buying industry in the United States, has launched its convenient service in Germany. Cash4Gold has over 900,000 satisfied customers in the U.S., UK, Canada and the Netherlands. Expanding into Germany continues Cash4Gold’s successful and ongoing European rollout.

Germans will now be able to use Cash4Gold to exchange their unwanted or broken jewelry for cash safely and conveniently from home, no longer having to travel to pawn shops or jewelry stores to sell those items.

“Our successful expansions in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands have shown us that there is a universal desire for our unique service,” said Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson. “Cash4Gold created the mail-in gold buying concept, and we are pleased to provide the people of Germany with our secure, easy, fast and 100% satisfaction-guaranteed service.”

Cash4Gold accepts gold, silver and platinum items and pays customers based upon the quality and quantity of precious metal contained in an item, also known as melt value. Melt value is based solely upon the actual precious metals contained in an item and does not account for decorative, artistic or sentimental value.

Cash4Gold’s celebrity endorser is three-time Grammy Award-winner and hip-hop legend MC Hammer.

The Cash4Gold customer experience is easy and convenient. To start the process, consumers request a postage-paid Refiner’s Return Pak online or by calling the toll-free hotline. Once the pre-paid envelope is received, it can be used to send jewelry items that contain gold, silver or platinum through the mail. The package’s contents are appraised based on precious metal content at Cash4Gold’s state-of-the-art European facility by the company’s trained professionals.

With the appraisal done, Cash4Gold then sends a check to the customer or electronically deposits the payment into their bank account, based on their preference. If for any reason the customer changes their mind or is not entirely satisfied with Cash4Gold’s offer, they can contact the company by phone or e-mail within a 12-day period and the items will be returned free of charge. This 100% satisfaction guarantee is at the heart of Cash4Gold’s commitment to its customers.

Gold Story of the Week: Nashville Police Department to Auction Seized Grill

As a top player in the precious metals industry, Cash4Gold always has its eye on interesting gold-related news across the U.S. and abroad. The story of the week comes from The Smoking Gun and covers the Nashville Police Department and an interesting auction.

The department recently confiscated a “set of custom made teeth grills” made of 10 karat yellow gold. The gold grill also includes six topaz stones and two citrine stones, and has an appraised retail value of $349. In a funny turn of events, the Nashville PD decided to put the grills up for auction with proceeds benefitting the Police State Drug Fund. Here’s to the department raising money for a good cause.

On a more personal note, if something like this were to arrive at Cash4Gold’s state-of-the-art processing facility, the company’s trained testers would immediately implement security escalation procedures and bring the out of the ordinary item to the attention of supervisors for further review. Earlier in 2009, Cash4Gold received a missing AFC Championship ring that the company was able to reunite with its owner, former Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Brenden Stai.

At Cash4Gold we frequently receive interesting items, including a one-pound gold pig, and we regularly receive dental gold. A grill like the one up for auction in Nashville has never been sent in to the company.

We are extremely proud to work with law enforcement here at home and around the country on an ongoing basis, and have received numerous commendations thanking us for our efforts.

Reuters Highlights Cash4Gold European Expansion

Reuters today published an article heavily focused on the European expansion of mail-in gold buyer Cash4Gold. The story drew heavily from an interview that Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson gave a London-based journalist from the news agency.

The article broke the news of the upcoming launch in Germany and also mentioned the company’s recent expansions into the Netherlands, Canada and Great Britain.

Below is the full text of the article. You can also read it at Reuters.

Cash4Gold scraps for gold in European market push

LONDON, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Cash4Gold, one of the largest U.S. buyers of cast-off jewellery, is eyeing UK sales of 50 million pounds ($82.7 million) a year as precious metals prices soar and consumers fall on hard times.

The private company, which launched in 2007 and is now one of the largest direct-response advertisers on American TV, is taking on the pawnbrokers in Britain by offering cash for cast-off precious metals via its website and ad campaign.

“I woke up with the idea of going direct to the consumer to purchase their material … so they wouldn’t have the inconvenience of going to a pawnshop where they might run into a friend,” Cash4Gold CEO and founder, Jeff Aronson, told Reuters. “It’s been a very, very strong and intense growth,” he added.

After starting out as a spin-off from metal refinery Albar Precious Metals, the company has expanded out of its home market to Canada and the Netherlands as well as Britain.
It will begin operations in Germany on Monday and plans to launch in another six countries in the EU, to bring the company to the “one billion dollar mark” in three years, said Aronson.

Cash4Gold, based in Pompano Beach, Florida, receives tens of thousands of packs per week in the United States, containing defunct wedding rings, single earrings or broken chains in gold, silver or platinum.

The business model looks buoyant as the gold price continues to rise, with spot gold topping a record high of $1,070 last week.

In a bid to raise its status as a household name in the United States, Cash4Gold aired an advert during this year’s Super Bowl featuring rapper M.C. Hammer and TV host Ed McMahon.
Aronson said it will bring the same high-profile media campaign to the UK, with its advertising budget accounting for up to 90 percent of total start-up costs and Cash4Gold processing over 30,000 transactions since launching in July.

The company, which will also unveil a high-end jewellery buying service within a few months in the UK, is targeting sales of 40 to 50 million pounds for the year in the UK, he added.
“We’ve paid a couple of million of pounds out already with somewhere in between 70,000 to 80,000 packs requested,” he added. Each pack is typically worth around 50 to 70 pounds.

FOOLS GOLD?

UK-listed pawnbrokers H&T and Albemarle & Bond have a headstart over new market entrants.
H&T introduced gold-purchasing in its stores in 2007 and now has 54 gold-buying stands in shopping malls across the UK, helping lift first-half profits by nearly a third.

It is targeting 100 Gold Bar stalls by Christmas.

But some analysts warn the gold bonanza will not last. “We expect reduced gold purchasing volumes in 2010,” said Robert Sanders, analyst at Arbuthnot Securities. “There are only so many pieces of broken jewellery.”

Moreover, the fortunes of new, online operators will run out first, if gold prices falter.
“These companies offer cheaper solutions, yet come with the problems involved in a postal transaction … many of these companies are likely to fade away as the gold price drops,” added Sanders.

Yet Aronson argues there is still an untapped market of Internet savvy customers.

“I refer to ourselves as a disruptive technology, meaning 10 years ago, nobody would ever think of doing anything else than going to a bookstore to buy a book. Now today, is there anyone who wouldn’t buy a book from Amazon?”

Cash4Gold Attracts Over 1,600 British Suggestions for Future UK Commercial

Cash4Gold, which began operating in the UK in July, has received more than 1,600 responses to its request for input from the British public. Via an informal video of MC Hammer on its UK website, the company has been asking for recommendations for the right celebrity to star alongside MC Hammer in a future Cash4Gold TV advertisement.

Cash4Gold had the idea for the competition after asking: “Who better to identify the celebrity who can best connect with the British consumers than the British consumers themselves?”

A wide range of suggestions have already come in from all across Britain. One winner, chosen at random from among those who recommend the celebrity that ends up being Cash4Gold’s UK pitchman, will join MC Hammer and the UK celebrity for tea.
The contest is slated to run through November 15.

Cash4Gold and MC Hammer to Host Dance Party in the Vaults

Cash4Gold announced today that it is planning to throw an incredibly hot dance party at the company headquarters during Super Bowl week next year. Three-time Grammy winner and hip hop legend MC Hammer recently broke the news of the gathering with a Tweet that read: “I’m throwing a party (invite only) inside the vaults at the Cash4Gold HQ during Super Bowl Week!! Gold will be melted while we dance!!”

Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson today confirmed that he and Hammer had been discussing the party, noting that it would be an incredibly "hot" one considering Cash4Gold’s furnaces have to be at least 190 degrees to melt the broken and unwanted gold that is sent in by customers.

Read the full text of the press release below:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CASH4GOLD CONFIRMS PLANS FOR DANCE PARTY IN THE VAULTS
AT COMPANY HEADQUARTERS WITH THE LEGENDARY MC HAMMER

Pompano Beach, Fla. – October 15, 2009 – Cash4Gold (www.Cash4Gold.com), the world’s #1 gold buyer from consumers, today confirmed that it is currently planning a party for next year’s Super Bowl® that will feature dancing in the vaults at the Cash4Gold headquarters. Three-time Grammy Award-winner and Cash4Gold celebrity spokesman MC Hammer (http://twitter.com/MCHammer) recently broke the news with the following tweet: “I'm throwing a party (invite only) inside the Vaults at the Cash4Gold HQ during Super Bowl Week!! Gold will be melted while we dance!!”

“Hammer and I first began talking about this idea for a party two months ago,” said Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson. “Our furnaces have to be at least 1900 degrees in order for us to melt gold, so there is no doubt that with help from Hammer this is going to be a really hot party. Since Hammer’s initial tweet we have been inundated with calls from people looking to get on the invite list.”

Within Cash4Gold’s facility only a limited number of individuals are given access to the company’s three state-of-the-art vaults. All Cash4Gold employees undergo a thorough background check before being hired by the company, and all individuals who enter and exit the processing center are subjected to a thorough security screening by the armed guards who patrol the facility. Additional security procedures will be in full force during the time of the dance party, for which an exact date has not yet been set. However, the party is being planned to coincide with next year’s Super Bowl which is being held in Miami near Cash4Gold’s Pompano Beach headquarters.

Aronson also noted, “Our Super Bowl commercial with MC Hammer kicked off a long-standing friendship and business relationship which we look forward to continuing, whether we are working hard together, playing hard or giving back to the community through charitable work.”

Cash4Gold and MC Hammer recently teamed up to support the international hunger relief organization Feed The Children following the natural disasters in the Pacific and widespread flooding in Georgia and have also partnered on other events aimed at helping recession-hit families in the Stockton, CA area.

Cash4Gold on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien

Cash4Gold has truly become a part of the American pop culture lexicon in 2009 with mentions on popular television shows including “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” among others. Recently, Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien mentioned Cash4Gold, the world’s #1 gold buyer from consumers.

Of course, the president did not send in his Nobel Peace Prize to the company, but each week thousands of Americans do send in unwanted or broken gold, silver and platinum items for cash.

Letter to Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson and Senior Managers From Employee

The following letter was sent to Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson and senior managers at Cash4Gold by an employee who recently returned from the U.K. Cash4Gold kicked off its international launch by opening up in Sheffield, England, earlier this year.

Here is the text of the letter:


I wanted to take a moment and thank each of you for this amazing opportunity. When I was hired at Cash4Gold I was not sure what to expect, but I have grown both professionally and as an individual with a group of people that make me feel like family. I am very proud that I was chosen for this opportunity out of all the people in my department. It is an experience I will remember the rest of my life and I cannot thank you enough for.

I was able to see a totally different culture, taste fish and chips, hear a different accent, grow professionally, learn leadership skills and expand my knowledge of other departments. While I was in the U.K. a personal issue came up in the United States and I cannot begin to express my gratitude for all your help and concern on the situation. I just wanted to show my appreciation for the opportunity you gave me. Thank you again,
