I hate to say this...

LOL, I had forgotten about ankle chains, such a classy item of jewellery, is it only hookers that buy them do you think?

lol - When I was on holiday in Egypt this year all the Russian girls seemed to have them

I have to say, those cash for gold ads really do annoy me - they are so cretinous! especially the one sponsoring Neighbours - I just want to poke that bloke's eyes out! he makes me cringe!!!

Try Scrapgold I've found them to be fair.

the way the scam ones work is that it relies on two presumptions, one from each party.

the buyer presumes that the seller knows nothing of market value.
the seller presumes the buyer is going to give them a fair price.

all they're doing is making an offer at first, it can be a lowball offer as hell but if the seller accepts it, all's fair. a lot of people just send their gold in and take whatever they get offered because "that's what it was appraised at".

not illegal, but decidedly dubious.
