It was a pleasure to meet with Marvin Tanner. He was kind and I was treated as a very valued…read morecustomer. Not something I experienced with a different gold dealer in Boise. Marvin explained every step to me as he performed tests on my gold jewelry I was there to sell. He answered every question I had. He showed me the difference in plated gold, filled gold and how many karts of gold, were in each piece. I had a lot of German gold and that was unexpected and fun to learn how he could tell. I found the whole experience fascinating, even exciting as each piece was evaluated. Marvin really does show you the SCIENCE, MATH and VALUE of your refined gold. Everything was OPEN and HONEST. If you are looking for HONESTY and INTEGRITY, GEM STATE GOLD & SILVER is the place and MARVIN TANNER is the man. I will be doing business with GEM STATE GOLD & SILVER again! Robin A. Boise

I had called and spoke with other gold buyers, and then I called Gem State gold and silver Marvin answered the phone I told him the things I had been told and how much they would pay and that they didn't remove channel laid Diamonds. Marvin told me he could remove them safely, pay more for the gold, and about his ability to give me confirmation of exactly what I had with his high tech equipment. He explain the process. He made me feel so confident in his knowledge and skill in his trade I met with him the next day. Not only was he honest and did everything he said he'd do. Such as let me watch and he explain to me exactly what and why he does each test. He never once made me feel ignorant he explained things scientific as well as in layman terms. As an additional bonus he is funny, and quick witted. The floor show was worth paying for...he kept me laughing. I think anyone who wants to feel safe, and confident in the person your dealing with Marvin is your guy. Everything he told was true and honest. I highly recommend Gem state gold and silver. Marvin thank you.

Recently, the family was there and the employees were chatting about wanting to 'kill Mexicans'. It was truly upsetting. I emailed the company's ownership and got no reply. It appears the company culture supports and shrugs off employees spouting hateful, racist, and violent sentiment. As a family (in Idaho since the 1850's) we have VERY different values. This great state is made up of ALL the people who contribute to our communities. We will no longer shop at Vista Pawn.
