I don't know about the gold value but it is a high class way of drinking wine.
if they are cheap enough, you can throw them away after one use ;)
You could sell them to sirscrapalot to go along with his cooler. Your question is answerd by clicking on the thread link at the bottom of this page, under similar threads.
Check to make sure they're not something collectible before you try to scrap them.

Ha, just went out on a wine tasting for mother's day with the in-laws and they got this pack of napkins for their friend that read - "Wine...How classy people get s**tfaced"Quote:

I think I read on the GRF that someone was picking up plates/dishes with gold edging and was refining them.
I think after looking at the ebay listings I would pick em up
The guy who does get the gold off them says its not worth it.
He has a solution of acid in a container and saves up the glasses untill he has a lot.
Then he gets his filter mask and adds peroxide to the acid and let's it eat the gold off till the acids full.
Then he puts it away for another day months later.
The clean glasses he sells again to make his money back. He also strips broken glass.
Basicly, 3 things.
1 Its very dangerous
2 There's no money in it.
3 Its very very dangerous.
Time to lock this thread I think.
Its not scrapmetal anyway.

I have standards people! They may not be high but they are standards!
Now whiskey, cognac, beer(mugs!) I can down with, specially if they look cool.
Last time I went to Epcot at Disney my wife banned me from two places..the tequila bar in Mexico(Tons of choices! An they sell bottles outside of it!) and the store in Germany that sells the Steins an beer mugs. I could easily spend a ton of money in both places an be quite happy.
Sadly she doesn't see it the same way I do. :(
Edit: Oops mean to add..You could sell them to a pawnshop if you have one that buys such things. The one I frequent down here is because...1. I'm friends with the son, who runs it with his dad. 2. They mostly do jewelry.
They are a pawnshop, but Jewelcrafters first. 4 generations of them. They make their own Jewelry an are kind of picky(the dad is) on what they will take on pawn. I love dealing with them. Their usually my first stop if I get any old jewelry or antique-ish type items or stuff I'm unsure of the value on. Knives, jewelry, glassware, dishware, I've taken a lot to them.
They always pay me more then the yard, but less then if I did the selling myself, an I'm ok with that. Would rather flip some silverware for quick cash an get back to playing the game then holding on to stuff like that for days or weeks awaiting it to sell. YMMV.
