Ounces 2 Pounds are renowned for offering their customers better deals than other gold re-cycling firms. A recent investigation by the Office of Fair Trading discovered that some postal gold companies where offering as little as 6% of the spot price of gold to their customers.  “Some people will want the cash for other purposed but some of our customers will like the idea of turning their scrap jewelry into a gold-plated iPod. That’s quite a status symbol!” said Ms Waddell.  “We launched the American phenomenon of Gold Parties to Britain in March last year as a safe and fun way for people to scrap their unwanted gold jewelry without being exposed to the sharp practices of some postal gold companies.”

“We have bought £2 million worth of gold this year but we haven’t yet scratched the surface of the UK market,” she said.  Customers wishing to take-up the Goldgenie offer will have to visit www.ounces2pounds.co.uk to acquire a valuation envelope. Ounces 2 Pounds will offer them either 60% of the scrap value in cash or vouchers for a Goldgenie iPad or iPod.  Goldgenie will redeem the voucher for an unprecedented 100% of the spot price of the gold on that day which can be used to purchase Goldgenie gold-plated products www.goldgenie.com.

Ounces 2 Pounds CEO Krista Waddell

Goldgenie has put together two of the most successful brands “Hello Kitty and Apple” to create a special limited edition range, a great gift or an accessory to any Hello Kitty fan or collector.  Comes in a diversity of colourways for your personal style.  Hello Kitty is hugely popular amongst girls of all ages.  This fictional character produced by the Japanese company Sanrio was first designed by Yuko Shimizu in 1974 in Japan. The character’s first appearance was on a vinyl coin purse which was brought to the United States in 1976.  Several celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton and Kimora Lee Simmons have also adopted Hello Kitty as a fashion statement and continue to support the brand for its work with UNICEF and children.  With the iPhone and iPad to follow, we are excited about our new product offering and hope you are too.  These limited and highly collectable iPods are available to purchase now.

• Each iPod is laser engraved with Bobby Moore’s signature on the back case and the Bobby Moore Fund logo, featuring the iconic image of England’s only World Cup winning captain lifting the trophy
• Embellished in 24ct gold
• 8Gb, 32Gb and 64Gb available

Special edition 8GB, 32GB or 64GB Gold iPod Touch embellished with 24ct gold and a laser engraved Tinchy Stryder signature on the back.  Yes, its a nice one.

So, as part of the celebrations, you could see your name on the new home page. Not so special on its own, perhaps, but your name will be there because you’ve won a gold plated 32GB iPod Nano. Better still, the winner also gets their name or signature engraved on the back.
