Lumo Opens Online Marketplace for Precious Metals

Lumo

Lumo has launched its online marketplace connecting consumers with local cash-for-gold businesses, giving people a simpler way to sell precious metals without leaving home.

The e-commerce platform is Lumo’s first major product launch under the Boston Made portfolio.

Boston Made Games has grown into a full arcade for the Boston Made network, free to play in any browser.

What’s in the Game Hall

  • Story games: Find Boston, Mr. B’s Fine Cuts, the Harbor Key slot adventure and Wild Buffaloes.
  • Puzzles: the Boston Crossword, Beacon Sudoku, Word Search, Beat-the-Clock Trivia and Memory Match.
  • Classics: Checkers on the Common, Jacks or Better, Harbor Blackjack and Texas Hold’em on Hanover Street.
  • A tribute to North End restaurateur Frank DePasquale through The Adventures of Frank Depastrami.

Casino-style games use play coins only, with no cash value. They can’t be bought, sold or redeemed, and the arcade is for adults 18+.

Win a skill game, save in the shop

Solve a crossword, sudoku or word search, score 7 of 10 in trivia, or beat the computer at checkers to unlock ARCADE15, a real 15% coupon for the Boston Made Pets shop. Find Boston and Mr. B’s Fine Cuts each have their own code. Slots and card games never pay real rewards.

Take the art home

The arcade’s artwork is now available as instant-download art packs: $4.99 each, or $9.99 for the complete bundle with the Boston Made Games skyline wallpaper.

For local businesses

The same animated banners that promote the games are now open to advertisers. Packages start at $149 a month, and game sponsorships can write a business right into the story. See advertising options.

Lumo.gold Rebuilds as a Consumer-First Directory for Selling Gold

The relaunched Lumo.gold helps people compare local cash-for-gold businesses in the US and UK and request a no-pressure introduction to a vetted buyer.

Lumo.gold gold buyer directory map

Lumo.gold has relaunched as a consumer-first directory for people looking to sell gold. The new site’s promise: “Find a gold buyer you can feel good about.”

Visitors can search by location and by what they are selling — jewelry, coins and bullion, watches, silver or estate pieces — and compare local cash-for-gold businesses on the signals that matter, such as credentials, a transparent process and appointment availability.

Clarity before the counter

Lumo pairs the directory with guidance. A three-step approach encourages sellers to compare buyers’ credentials, understand the karat, weight and condition of their items before a conversation, and contact buyers on their own terms.

Fair pricing starts with clarity.

An introduction service

For sellers who are ready, Lumo offers a buyer introduction: describe what you have and where you are, and Lumo will connect you with a vetted local buyer, with no obligation. Any service fee is quoted explicitly and must be accepted by the seller. Lumo is clear that it is a discovery and introduction service — it does not buy or sell gold, provide valuations, or guarantee any offer.

What’s next

  • Directory coverage across the United States and United Kingdom
  • Live map search, planned for the next build
  • Business listing submissions for local buyers, coming with the full directory
