Went here to sell some gold with my sister. Before I went I did my homework, checked spot prices…read moreand sorted all the gold into 14K and 10K with a jewelers loop. I weighed and calculated the price I would like to get and the min price I would accept based on reasonable profit margin, FULLY expecting I would have to haggle price. Top price you can expect for gold (unless premium brand gold Tiffany's etc or rare vintage pieces) is 80% of melt value. I inspected each piece with a jewelers loop to find markings. We showed up right around closing time (they close at two) but they had a gent in the room already. I was greeted by the father and told they would take us as soon as they finished up (around 15 minutes,) if we wanted to wait. We were taken in, VERY courteous, polite, friendly and professional. I was impressed the son could recognize most of the pieces without a jewelers loop and those few he couldn't he put through a spectrometer and got confirmation instantly. The whole process took approximately 15 minutes... and we had a lot of pieces. In the end their offer was EXACTLY (within a few dollars) of the top price I expected to get. Paid cash on the spot. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that if you want a very positive experience... especially if you are not educated on value, to see this father and son team. I would not hesitate to trust their assessment of gold value now even if I didn't know a thing about it. If I could give a 10 star rating out of 5 I would.

I took my daughters prom dress here for alterations. I was very uneasy from the first time in the…read moreshop. The woman helping us, really wasn't sure about what she was doing. My daughter has a very large chest (F cup), to say the least she needed the top to fit properly, for support & comfort. The dress needed to be shortened, the sides taken in, straps shortened, and the deep V in the chest sewn closed a little higher (not as much cleavage). We gave them 6 weeks for alterations and it was left until the last minute. She was never told to come back for a fitting or anything. I told her to go in after school the week before to try it on, she was told it wasn't ready, come back on Tuesday (3 days before prom). She is more of a hoodie & tights girl, so to see her face light up when she found her dress, we both had tears. when she picked her dress up, she told me it was good, all she wanted was her dress ready in time. The day of prom I'm helping her get ready & I was disgusted with the way the dress fit. We bought the dress with the wide straps so she could wear a bra for support. They messed the straps up so badly, they wouldn't go up on her shoulders. Instead of pinning both sides, they pinned one side and did the opposite side, with the same amount taken in. Now the dress barely did up, because it was taken in too much. the Woman pinned 2" on the one side to make it fit. However when taking it in, she took 2" on each side (instead of 1" & 1"). I paid $268.00 for alteration, and the dress was in My opinion not wearable, But my daughter did not want to miss prom and waste all of the money spent in the dress, shoes, hair, makeup jewellery, tickets Etc. so she wore it, and said "as long as I don't take deep breaths, I'll be fine." PLEASE ask questions and make sure you both understand each other. I would NOT recommend this shop to anyone.

They had called me stupid and a liar (??) , trying to scam the poor trusting fellow out of money and unecessary repairs obviously. He called me then thankfully and I fixed it myself easily.
