Hosting a "Gold Rush Event" allows individuals to earn cash by inviting friends and family to sell their old gold and silver jewelry. At the event, a company will evaluate guests' gold and silver items and pay them the highest cash price on the spot. The host of the event then receives a cash commission based on the total amount purchased by the company. These events can also be combined with in-home product parties to provide entertainment and shopping opportunities that benefit both guests and the host.
