Apart from recycling and/or making your own jewelry, gold bullion is also pretty good for investing. You really don't need to be a professional dealer: eBay auctions offer you cheap and comfortable ways to get a foothold in the bullion market. Pick up some scrap gold, and it will quite likely be a good investment for you. You can buy and sell gold every day, in every country, at every hour. To coin a silly phrase: gold bullion as a commodity is even more liquid than water! Talk about mixed metaphores (grin)! Scrap gold prices, in fact gold prices in general, can be found on our Kitco precious metals prices page.
