 'My Gold Party CA' Is The Luxury Equivalent of Tupperware Parties Published: Feb 23, 09 Views: 2,595 By now everyone has seen old, has-been celebrities trying to get you to ship in your old gold jewelry. Well, My Gold Party CA has taken this trend to a whole new level. Instead of shipping your unwanted gold items to ‘some’ company, you take the gold to a party. Think Tupperware party on steroids. The party host receives 10% of the sales from the evening and a buyer generally pays 65% of the market price for the jewelry. I am still not sold on all of these quick gold deals, but this seems a lot more reputable then MC Hammer asking for my bling.  To test the gold, Stevenson shaved off small flecks with a whirring Dremel tool, blanketing the dark wood of the dining table with a luminous sheen. Later, while Bartoletti peered through a magnifier attached to his eyeglasses, looking for karat stamps on the jewelry, Stevenson weeded out gold impostors with magnets and a special acidic gel.
Fincher, 34, said the parties were popular in her hometown of Atlanta. As the host she gets 10% of what is paid out -- which this night was $4,000. One woman walked away with a $1,836.88 check.
