I wanted to start buying gold jewelry for cash. How would I melt it down?
What would be my most cost efficient way of selling these pieces? Leave

Melt them down and sell the block, and if melting, what would a guy use in

rough shop atmosphere with just an OA torch? Or would a kiln be cost
effective.

Just asking.

You usually sell the scrap as is to a company that buys jewelry scrap
from jewelers.
Such as:

Your real problem is the cops will be all over you. Many states and
cities require receipts, ID checks and stuff to make sure your
customers actually own the future scrap. Probably permits and such
also.

How about the tv guys who make it look like you put it in an envelope and
receive a check? That is interstate, too.
