Old Hippie Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 MBK has a better selection, but as I recall, they charged more and you had to be careful with what you were buying. I'd Stick to Yaowarat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 The best I ever did was they threw in one or two little pieces of jewelery in since I spent a bit of money in the shop. No actual discount on price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi gents,I'm going to Chinatown tomorrow to get myself a new wedding ring (I need the constant reminder). When buying gold jewelry, should you bargain the price? How much? To what percentage should I try get the price down? Thanks It depends if "New" is new to you (ie a second hand ring) or brand new. Current Gold Prices are Bullion Buy 17300 Sell 17400 Jewelery Buy 17055 Sell 17800 If buying a second hand ring you may be able to bargain down to the bullion sell price but don't expect anymore of a discount.

You leave me wondering if they are selling used gold in these shops: is it designated as used or would I not know unless they tell me? Anyways, I got myself a new 1 Baht ring from a reputable shop yesterday. Given all your comments, I did not bother to bargain the small amounts.

Mekong Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 [You leave me wondering if they are selling used gold in these shops: is it designated as used or would I not know unless they tell me? In Theory the top sell price for Jewelered Gold should be for a piece you have commissioned. Most gold is used, it is a commodity that is not consumed (except in rare cases) and is easy to recycle.
