A great idea?

Ahh the Gold Party, a unique and recent phenomenon whereby friends and acquaintances gather to share drinks, food, laughter... and sell their gold. It's like a Tupperware party, except 'everyone walks away with money'.

Great. Problem is, most guests are getting skinned in the process and don't even realize it. Gold party companies make enormous profits by offering horrible prices to their unsuspecting party goers. There's a whole collection of little tricks used to hide this fact underneath the 'fun' of a party, don't be fooled...
