What is the value of 18Kt HGE?

Gold filled, and heavy gold electotype are basically GOLD PLATE, so thus there is not much gold there. However, with the run-up in the price of gold, there are actually places who are now buying gold-plate and gold filled items. They don't pay much, and two rings aren't worth shipping, but don't pitch them out. If they do have something to do with the Army base, eBay is a place to sell. I shipped off about 10oz of various plated items and got $70. The big problem with selling plated items is that most smelters will charge you a $75-125 charge per shipment, plus pay a discounted percentage of the true amount of gold. If you only have a modest amount, it doesn't pay to ship to most smelters.
