gold scale
is a food scale accurate for measuring ounces of gold?
if so, any guesses of how much money you would get for 2 oz.?
You can’t use a food scale.
First of all, it’s not precise enough for measuring something that valuable.
Secondly, it’s calibrated in the wrong type of “ounce.” Gold is sold by “troy ounces.”
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ounce
International avoirdupois ounce
The avoirdupois ounce is the most commonly used ounce today. It is defined to be one sixteenth of an avoirdupois pound. It is therefore equal to 437.5 grains.
In 1958 the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations agreed to define the international avoirdupois pound to be exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Consequently, since 1958, the international avoirdupois ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams by definition.
The ounce is commonly used as a unit of mass in the United States. While imperial units have been officially abolished in the United Kingdom, the ounce remains a familiar unit, especially amongst older people.
International troy ounce
A troy ounce (abbreviated as t oz) is equal to 480 grains. Consequently, the international troy ounce is equal to exactly 31.1034768 grams. There are 12 troy ounces in the now obsolete troy pound.
Today, the troy ounce is used only to express the mass of precious metals such as gold, platinum or silver.
The latest price for gold is $889.50/ounce. See

Robert Starer: Solo Piano Music, 1946-1996 $11.59 Robert Starer, who was born in Vienna and raised in Palestine, now lives in upstate New York. He worked for a time as an accompanist, and he writes extremely well for the piano. I don’t think Starer has the kind of musical imagination that creates great miniatures, so the little pieces, of which we have one set and part of another, don’t show him at his best. But his larger works have real su… |

Where to Sell Gold Online
You have a couple of options if you have scrap gold to sell and you want to sell it online. Selling scrap gold online is an easier choice than driving for jewelry and antique stores to buy your scrap gold. Depending on the number of items you have, it may not even be possible to sell to a jewelry store. You can drive to pawn shops that buy gold and jewelry, but it is difficult to know if you are getting the optimal amount for your items. But what if you wanted to take an easier route and sell your items online?
Auction web site such as eBay allow you sell to people whom are interested in purchasing your gold and jewelry. The advantage to using eBay is that you can quickly sell your scrap gold and jewelry. The downside is having to pay shipping and auction fees. Dealing with an unsatisfied customer can be more trouble than its worth.
Classified sites such as Backpage and Craigslist are another option for selling scrap gold. The advantage to classified websites is dealing locally with people, instead of worldwide with eBay. You start by creating a listing for your items, and the inquiries will come. The downside is that you may never know who you will be dealing with, so it’s wiser to arrange the meeting in public.
The besy way is selling your scrap gold to an online gold buyer. Gold buying companies work by sending you a kit for mailing away your items. Your insured package is then processed by the gold buyer and then they mail you a check. Gold refining companies are the easiest route for selling your items in a hurry because they deal with buying gold on a large scale. There are only a handful of gold refining companies that you should deal with, and those are the ones that advertise on Television.
