ALL NEW GOLD 'N' STORE

ANNOUNCEMENT: The NING site is being dismantled. ning.com has decided to begin charging for all of its sites, and so Hooked on Gold will be closing the forum some time in May. All members have been notified of the change.

ANNOUNCEMENT! The Colorado State Legislature has passed a bill requiring Colorado residents to pay sales tax on all online purchases. Gold 'N' Store is set up to do that, but affiliated sites like Amazon are not. Amazon has chosen to sever their relationship with all Colorado online stores, and so Hooked on Gold has deleted the two pages that deal with Amazon products. This also means that the menu links will need to be broken and will take a day or so for me to complete and re upload. Thank you for your patience while I accomplish this.
