DGSE to Launch Services to Sell Your Bling

Testing done, company plans nat'l roll out

With the markets in turmoil, investors of all stripes are turning to old stand-bys: precious metals. Gold and silver prices are soaring and many people are rummaging through drawers and safe deposit boxes, looking for vintage jewelry, diamond rings and old coins so they can cash in while the cashing's good.

Riding the wave is DGSE Companies, Inc. (AMEX:DGC), which announced today the completion of all market testing for its new AmericanGoldandSilverExchange.com, Superior Estate Buyers and Superior Precious Metals activities and that plans are in place to roll them out nationwide.

The Dallas, Texas-based company wholesales, retails and auctions fine watches, jewelry, diamonds, precious metal and rare coin products via traditional and Internet channels.

"DGSE has invested heavily in new activities in fiscal 2007 and into early 2008 and these investments are already paying dividends," company president William Oyster noted in a press release today.

"With gold now around $1000 per ounce and consumers increasingly looking for efficient ways to turn unwanted valuables into cash, demand for our services has been robust and welcomed as we enter new markets," he said.
