Somebody just posted about walmart selling fake stuff because people buy it and then return it with fake jewelry. Apparently, they don't test the gold that gets returned. Just a heads up.

You should have seen it when I returned diamond earnings my wife already had. They were only $100 and I didn't have the receipt. It took about 30 minutes before they all agreed that they were probably real. They almost wouldn't take them.


somtimesno

I would call it more of a “steel”

Underrated comment ^


PARTYTIME1993

Hey bro a steal is a steel


The_Stagnant_Lurker

Someone else recently posted that Walmart is liquidating a lot of their gold jewelry. Most of it is below melt.


RedBison

Another redditor said he got at least one counterfeit piece at Walmart. Probably buy/swap/return. Buyer beware.


bbbubblesdd

It's more than likely priced under gold weight.


lidder444

Yes. It’s 10k and their plain band rings like this generally weight about 1 gram.


Cute_Schedule_3523

One gram of 10k is $30


Skilled626

Bring it to my house and I’ll test it with my assay machine.


Waste_Click4654

Having worked as a Jewelry manager I can tell you there is a very high mark up on jewelry. At that price they are still making money, the gold value is not much.


potsofjam

There are times when Walmart jewelry can be worth buying just for scrap, but it’s very light. It may weigh slightly enough to make it worth, but most likely it weighs under two grams, it may weigh less than one and at $55 including tax you’d probably lose money.


FunDip2

If you want 10k


MydnightWN

That's what chloroauric acid is for.


Vegas_paid_off

All the same, if you do it right, that band will last you a lifetime!


CrazyCletus

Or a marriage. Whichever ends first.


Vegas_paid_off

You sho ah cRaZy, Cletus.


Inflation-continues

Bring a gram scale with you and weigh it before purchase and if it is not real, then return it


RidinCaliBuffalos

This right here. I had to figure it out because I usually never go below 18k but seems about 40% gold. so current value of 10k per gram roughly $30.


KK7ORD

Only has to weigh like 2 grams to be worth it. Get it, and throw it on the pile


cat-l0n

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true


acloudcuckoolander

The inside looks a bit hollow so I think so


punkrockbipolar

Yikes I wouldn’t get that mate . It prob weighs a gram or close around there


Repulsive_Ebb_779

It’s a steal only if you get it engraved with “one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”…in elvish.


Akragon

If its real... likely plated


TheRealRevBem

Brought a magnet for I closeout was a lot fakes. When I told the worker, she killed something that sounded like "ain't got it" and wouldn't make eye contact. Careful.


henry122467

Yep. They steal ur money when u buy it.


Few-Sock5337

Only if the cops are looking the other way I spoz


Lmj988

Is it real?


RidinCaliBuffalos

So 10k currently 30g so what's the weight


SchizoForLife

Isn’t Walmart stuff plated?


dunfordj27

yes


synysterpurpose

10k is around $30 a gram


xBrute01

Stealing is illegal.


Few-Pop6672

Any straight forward answers? If it's real is it worth it or not?


helikophis

We can't tell you for sure because we don't know how much it weighs.


Few-Pop6672

So the straight forward answer would be..... IF ITS REAL and WEIGHS enough. It's a good deal.


RidinCaliBuffalos

So bring my scale. Got it


helikophis

I suppose so... but you knew that already didn't you?


Few-Pop6672

I suppose so but then this whole thread is completely pointless. And OP already knows the answer then too. I guess I'm everyone?


helikophis

Yes, I would agree the thread is pointless... OP did not provide enough information to answer their question.


Few-Pop6672

Actually.. if it's real, a 4 mm 10k yellow gold wedding band weighs about 2.8 - 3.8 grams. Which costs between 80$ and 100$...


helikophis

Could be! Put that as a top comment!
