In times like these, many Plainfielders are thinking about ways to come up with a few (or maybe more than a few) extra bucks.
Now comes an opportunity to get some cash -- and help the cause of the Plainfield Symphony at the same time.
Bring in your scrap gold to Suburban Jewelers today, tomorrow and Saturday and they will buy it from you and make a donation out of the proceeds to the Plainfield Symphony. (You MUST mention the Symphony when bringing the items in.)
'Scrap gold', you ask? As did I.
Not being a jewelry buff, I was intrigued that folks would have 'scrap' gold, but when I asked
Suburban Jewelers' helpful owner Lisa Cohen, she promptly explained how gold items can become 'scrap'.
"Lots of earrings and cufflinks end up losing their mates," Lisa said, "and go to live in the back of a drawer or a jewelry box. Then there are chains and bracelets that may get broken or lose some links. And we shouldn't forget that some items go out-of-style or are gifts or hand-me-downs that the owner knows they will never use or wear."
Suburban Jewelers has bought such items from customers ever since it began business, and Lisa thought it would be a great opportunity to also benefit the Plainfield Symphony, of which she is a long-time champion.
How does it work?
Scoop up your loose items and bring them down to the store -- which will be open tonight and tomorrow until 7 PM just for this event.
Lisa will assess the purity of the gold in the items (see the slide show below), weigh them up, and calculate the value to you based on what gold is selling for on the open market that day.
One customer was surprised to find that the items she brought in netted her $450 in cash on the spot.
Not bad, huh?
The slide show above details the steps from bringing your items in to the store to determining the value to you -- and a contribution to the Plainfield Symphony.
Lisa's offer stands for the balance of the month of October, but YOU MUST MENTION THE PLAINFIELD SYMPHONY for the Symphony to benefit.

Suburban Jewelers will also honor this offer through October. Remember that you walk away with the full value of what your gold is worth! Suburban Jewelers will make a donation to the Plainfield Symphony from their pocket equal to 20% of what you have been paid.
