5 Gold Rings From eBay — A $1,000+ Flip

The Find

Five gold class rings popped up on eBay — all 10K gold, plus a diamond pinky ring mixed in. Listed at just $55 each. The seller didn't know what they had.

The Math

Total purchase: ~$275. Combined melt value of the 10K gold alone: over $6,500. That's a clean $1,000+ profit after refinery fees. This is exactly the kind of deal I hunt for every day.

How It Works

I scan thousands of eBay listings daily looking for gold and silver jewelry priced below melt value. When I find a deal, I buy it, verify the metal content, and sell to a refinery. The margin between what people sell jewelry for on eBay and what it's actually worth in raw metal is where the profit lives.
