Gold

Are there that many companies that want you to sell them your gold? I'm surprised at just HOW many ads there are for gold buying places? Do they buy all this gold, melt it and then sell it again? Can't say I buy gold bars as a hobby. However, having said that, if I was rich, I would totally melt gold and make gold bars...but use them as paperweights. Wow. Wouldn't it be nice to be that rich. Well, guess I'll be dreaming for a while longer. Didn't quite win the lotto this time around.
