Thread: Turning gold flake into bars?

I bought a bunch of gold flake just spontaneously a few days ago
Anyways, I was reading some info and it takes about 1900* to melt it, so is there are service to turn flake gold into gold bars? If so how much does it usually run?

Not a common request...easy to do but why do you want to do it?
Should cost under $75.00 as it might take a goldsmith about 10 minutes and uses minimal amounts of energy. Is there quartz in it, or is it like alluvial gold (panned in a river), tiny clean nugget-like grains?

Look in your yellow pages under jewelry service. They will buy it from you. That is the point right? how many oz did you manage to buy?

microwave?

Is bulliondesk still around? I'd PM him first!

I pmed bullion but hes MIA. I need to weigh it, but I'm assuming its around 4 ot 5 grams, but I got it for cheappppppp. So If theres a margin, I'm going to buy these mofos in bulk

from what I can tell, the bars sell a lot higher than flake(ie a gram of flake is cheaper than a 1 gram bar). So maybe theres a margin there to exploit
