Postal Gold – Selling Your Gold to the Devil

When I was just 15 years old I sold my soul to the Devil, what I asked in exchange for it will remain my secret, but it appears that Satan was not entirely satisfied with the deal for now he has returned, but this time he wants my gold.

Postal Gold, who are they and where did they come from? And despite the obvious answer (gold) what do they want?

Fronted by a spokesman who looks like he really has just burst forth from the fiery pits of hell; Postal Gold promise to send you huge wads of cash in exchange for all of your old gold jewelery.


Yesterday during just several hours of watching the television I was confronted with the advert for Postal Gold at least a hundred times, in addition they’ve been sponsoring television and radio shows, and I’ve even noticed that the predominant generic ads appearing right here at HubPages and elsewhere on the net this last few weeks have been for companies just like Postal Gold, offering to buy up your unwanted gold jewelery for cash.

So what’s the deal here; is this simply what it seems at first glance, just another unscrupulous company praying on the less fortunate during these hard times, or something more?

What do Postal Gold have to say for themselves?

‘Postal Gold buys gold jewelery for melting and refining. When you send us your unwanted or broken jewelery we analyse how much pure gold is contained in it and based on the current market price of gold, we calculate your payout. Thanks to the record high prices for gold, your jewelery could be worth a lot more than when you bought it! Cash in on this opportunity and cut out middlemen such as local pawnshops or jewelers. Order a free, insured Gold Kit now!’

Postal Gold and the Devil

Due to the almost Demonic appearance of all of their spokespeople I was hoping with research to find some kind of terrifying connection between Satan and Gold within the Bible that explained this unprecedented gold lust, or some kind of warning issued by Nostradamus centuries previous that this would signal the beginning of the end of days, but unfortunately I could find nothing.

I imagined the folks at Postal Gold melting it all down in order to construct some kind of false idol, a golden calf with which to taunt the baby Jesus, but I could find no proof of this (but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening).

Conspiracy Theories

The white supremacists I stumbled across in my search for the truth seemed to believe that this was all some kind of Jewish Zionist master scheme to force all white people into a life of poverty under their control. Postal Gold and the Zionists knowing that the world economy is about to collapse are buying up all the gold so that when that day comes, they will have something of physical value to trade when current currencies become worthless. This will allow the Zionists and Postal Gold to establish a new world order and enslave the white man, steal his women and starve his children, whilst wearing plenty of bling.

Really? Well I did say at the beginning that they were white supremacists, did you really expect anything less… moving on.

Postal Gold – The Truth (or at least my version of it)

The price of gold has doubled over the last five years, and continues to rise, and despite my best efforts to make more of this than it is, it appears to be nothing more than we expected all along, just another unscrupulous company trying to diddle those in need out of every penny they can.

After all, you send the gold to them first, and then they offer you a price, they’re more than aware that many of those using their services will be people in desperate need of fast ready cash, enabling them to offer a fraction of its worth, and meaning you’ll most likely accept it.

So just perhaps you’d be better off joining me, in selling your soul to the Devil, and keeping your gold out of his grasp.

Cash For Gold, a modern day gold seizure?

Great Photoshopping.

I'm not sure that Cash4Gold.com is entirely amused with Google's ad servers at this moment.

:-D

lol, thanks Wyanjen, although I actually didn't do any, that's just how they look. ;)

I have to apologize for this hub, I started it because I was annoyed at the advert, quickly got bored with it, had no real idea where I was going with it, realized nobody would be searching for it, so wrapped it up and pushed publish anyway. =)

And strangely those big CASH4GOLD.com image adverts seem to be everywhere but on this hub, lol.

This is probably the 15th time I have tried to leave you a comment. Somebody somewhere. sold thier soul to the devil to kill my computer. :( funny funny hub. Here in the USA its "cash for gold." I only ever once sold an engagement ring to a pawn shop and got 20 bucks, (I went to wendys and got a huge burger)...I dont imagine that these places give much more...but maybe like me, the people selling the gold, didn't give a crap about the gold in the first palce?

Funny hub! I've never seen this particular advert (luckily for me - it would probably freak me out!) But I've also noticed plenty of money-for-gold ads on the TV here in the UK, and I've suspected that there was something dodgy about them (even without devil-eyes).

Just the way that they're so obviously trying to get people to part with their life's treasures for (probably) a few measly pounds. It seems as if they're preying on desperate people.

Another disturbing factor is that they're also putting them in the ad breaks on the kids channels, and I was shocked the other day when my 3 year old said to me "Turn your Cash into Gold!" This message of easy money in return for maybe a lifetime of regret, is even getting through to our kids, who don't yet understand what it means. Very scary!

It's so weird that you wrote this. It's almost identical to the article I wrote on my blog the other day, on exactly the same company. Though I had a small focus on the fact that the guy doesn't blink once in the WHOLE advert.

Very well written.

The spokeswoman in the Postal gold advert (shown on this page) makes me think of Arkwright in "Open All Hours" and Auntie Wainwright in "Last of the Summer Wine"!
