Hatton Garden Metals

[Kiwi]

I ask only because they've approached us about sponsorship and say they've been getting a lot of traffic from Basschat. I'm really curious to know why, I can't see any obvious connection.

I use their services frequently.....Best price in the Southeast......Birmingham can realise a few p more per gramme if you are very lucky......no commission on their prices stated...CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THEYD BE GETTING A LOT OF HITS VIA BC THOUGH?????

Probably due the link on this endorsement of their services which does seem to come across as a bit of an advert. I must admit if it was a comment on one of my sites, I'd have spammed it.

Maybe they know what the best rig for metal is?

I don't think many of us appreciated the prices you get for scrap currently. And I think many bassists tend towards hoarding, and having a great deal of spare cable laying about, judging by the content of the House of Bass.

Strangest thread I've seen in awhile. Well done

I have no connection with Hatton garden metals, but im sure if i had any old scrap gold or jewelery to flog id take it there rather than any of those con merchant "send us your gold" adverts on tv. (anyone see the Mitchel & Webb pizztake? "Send us your unwanted Uranium"?)

A guy on the telly sent them a chain and they offered him £17, he declined it (as they say you can) they then doubled the offer to £34, he still declined and asked them to send it back. He took it to a jewlers and got £67

Any reputable corner jeweler will give you the days scrap gold price as determined by the precious metals price on the stock exchange in London. It is my conmtention that these tv conmen obviously make a mint from confused pensioners selling off the family heirlooms for buttons. Or from people who send in some single item and cant be arsed asking for its return after recieving a derisory offer. How else can they afford to bombard us with tv adverts? Not exactly the cheapest way to advertise, so the returns must be pretty good.

I'm struggling to resist making any sort of comment about heavy metal...
