All that glitters… shouldn’t be traded for a guitar

Painting a rock gold

Like Grandma always told us: Never buy gold in a parking lot. Kudos to Cody Gleason, a Dallas man who braved embarrassment and went public with his tale of foolishly trading a $3,000 guitar for gold bullion that turned out to be fake. As seen here in a TV news story, Gleason refurbishes guitars and sells them on Craigslist. A buyer offered to trade him gold bullion and arranged a meeting in a parking lot. Gleason brought a magnet that he thought proved the gold’s authenticity, and made the deal. The next day he took it to a gold trader, who gave him the bad news. Police tracked down the scammer, who’s facing fraud charges. Though understandably sheepish, Gleason told his cautionary tale to spread a message that you’d hope everyone would already know. Bring your precious metals to Dallas Gold & Silver, the home of honesty, integrity and value for more than 40 years. Our parking lots are for cars, not for deals.

A Golden Look at History

The Power of Gold Statue

If you love and appreciate gold, and we bet you do, don’t miss a new exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art about one of our favorite subjects. It’s called “The Power of Gold: Asante Royal Regalia from Ghana,” running through August. The curators have put together a dazzling collection of over 250 items, including regalia, intricately woven silk kente cloth, ceremonial furniture, state swords, and other significant objects with one thing in common: gold. They all relate to Asante royalty, which ruled the Ashanti Empire from the 17th Century through modern times and still exists as a constitutionally recognized part of Ghana. In addition to the exhibition, the DMA has scheduled special tours, lectures and kids’ activities throughout the run. You can download the exhibition guide and schedule here. Of course, The Power of Gold is also on display every day at our stores in Dallas, Euless, Southlake and Grand Prairie.
