 Great seller, poor product.Jul 30, 2010
By Batcap
I purchased this just a few days ago. EZSell got it to me really fast and in good shape. However I have some problems with this product. It seems that either my acids were old out of the box, or they were terribly mislabeled.
The acids should get stronger as you go up in karat. The 10K acid had no effect on marked 14K - this is correct. the 14K acid bubbled and emmitted a brown cloud over the jewelry. This would indicate that it was mismarked, and lower than 14k gold. I pressed on. the 18K acid only had a mild effect. This would indicate that the bracelet was infact 18k gold, even though it was only marked 14k and the 14k test and said it was even less than that!. Ok finally I tried the 22k acid. I got a pretty big effect and color change After repeatedly comparing I determined that the 14k acid was stronger than the 22k acid.
So this means Only the 10K acid was properly labeled. The 14k acid was actually 22k strength. The 18k acid was actually 14k. And finally the Acid labeled 22k is actually the 18k acid.
Once I figured that out the kit worked fine. The silver solution worked as it should. I don't have any platinum to test. Next time I'll buy one of the kits with white tops. Stay away from the colored tops. If they couldn't get the acids in the right bottles, how well did they measure the acid mixture?

 Bad Acid Man!Aug 19, 2010
By Austin
I should have listen to the review that said the bottles weren't labeled correctly, I hope all who are considering buying now listen to me. These acids are not mixed right!!! Do not buy! I scratched with known and tested 14k gold and the 10 and 14 acid made the gold line disappear. Perhaps as the other review stated the other bottles have the 10 and 14 labeled as 18, 22, silver or platinum but at $1200+ an ounce do I really take a chance? I hope Amazon stops dealing with such an unscrupulous vender.

Be CarefulAug 30, 2010
By Paul47
We used the test kit to identify a small pile of unmarked gold, sold it on eBay and the customer was satisfied. Next three lots of scrap didn't come out so well. Despite carefully following the (somewhat minimal) instructions that came with the kit, and repeating the test several times, the eBay buyers informed us that we had made a mistake and they wanted their money refunded (naturally we waited until we received the returns and made absolutely certain the buyers had returned the exact same items sold.) Besides the obvious "all that glitters is not gold", we learned that it takes lots of practice and possibly even expert instruction to test gold.

It works!Feb 12, 2010
By Kathleen A. Sutherland
"EA"
If you follow the enclosed directions, it actually does what it says it will. I was able to identify a number of pieces that I was uncertain about as silver.
