The most honest audio company I ever dealt with and I have a working relationship with them for a…read moredozen years or so. What sets this place apart from pretty much any company I ever dealt with is that they NEVER EVER coerce you or pressure you to make a $1 purchase. All their staff listen to your questions and give their expert advice. Due to this, this is the only company I will ever deal with in regards to audio merch. Every question I ever asked was answered truthfully and NEVER even a word from anyone to make a purchase. I've been dealing with Nate........ASK FOR NATE!!!!!! All future major purchases I will make will go through him. 100% honest 100% of the time. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Absolutely the worst business owner I've ever seen. He'll…read moretell you a price and then change it over & over. Also, Don't waste your time trying to bring your toys in to sell. He'll give you 5% of what they are actually worth. And he's extremely overpriced as is. Also, get the feeling that a lot of Julian's products are stolen. Trust us, this is not the kind of store you want to go into, especially if you have kids. Beware.

I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to like this place--I really do, but the things that the store owner…read moredoes makes me never want to come back again. Jason S, whoever he is, is right. Julian constantly changes prices and tries to lowball a lot of his customers. He sold me a a dragon ball figure telling me it was 70, but when I came to the store, he bumped the price up to 110. Not cool man. His business ethic and the way he handles a lot of his business is sloppy and he's inconsiderate when he thinks about the buyer. Second thing, he will leave you with dirt in your eyes. Not to make a reference to Spiderman 3, but if you do trade with this guy for either store credit or one of his items, he'll most likely give you a terrible offer. Trust me. I tried trading some stuff for a particular item, he ended up lowballing the hell out of me for 300 credits for items well worth over 1000 dollars... If you really do enjoy collecting but want to spend your money wisely and come out of the store knowing you made a good purchase from a local business instead of retail, I suggest you go to any other collectible store like Nakama or Quake. Dave is a really cool guy and would go to great measures making sure you get a good deal or offer, but not Julian. This isn't a review to bash on his store for any unintended purpose, this is a review because I went to this guys store too long and had enough. Beware collectors.

I can't speak to the in-store experience, but based on my online order, I would not recommend…read moreordering online. I placed an order in April for a record that was listed as in stock. After I ordered, I was informed there were inventory and distributor delays. I was patient, appreciated the updates I received, and agreed to wait until July 1 based on the timeline I was given. After that date passed, I followed up multiple times and went nearly 12 days without a response. I eventually sent a final message saying I would dispute the charge if I did not receive an update or refund. The refund was processed within minutes, which I appreciated, but it was frustrating because it showed that communication could have happened much sooner. To be clear, my issue is not that an unexpected family emergency occurred. I completely understand that emergencies happen. My issue is the lack of communication with customers who had already paid for orders. What was most frustrating was being told afterward that I would have seen updates if I had checked the store's social media. I placed my order through the website and communicated through email. Customers should not be expected to monitor social media to find out why their emails are going unanswered or why an order has not been fulfilled. A simple automated email response or direct update would have gone a long way. I also found that response dismissive because it placed the responsibility on the customer rather than acknowledging the communication gap. I understand that small businesses face challenges, but customers still deserve clear communication and timely responses. The refund was ultimately issued, but the overall online ordering experience was frustrating and could have been handled much better. Again, I can't comment on the in-store experience, but based on my online order experience, I would not recommend ordering online.

I was in the market for an industrial straight stitch and I settled on the Juki 5550N over the 8700 because I wanted a Japanese-built machine. Steve shipped out promptly and everything arrived very well packaged. He emailed me several assembly videos from his YouTube channel in advance of the delivery. The videos were an absolute lifesaver and I was able to get the table, motor and machine together in an afternoon by myself even with my toddler running around. Flash forward to several months later and I ran into some issues, right as I was sewing a gift for my daughter's birthday. I emailed Steve my troubles, and he responded that same evening with an offer to FaceTime the next day to troubleshoot! (Seriously, who does this anymore?!) He assessed the issue correctly right away, gave me instructions, and I was able to fix my own machine within a few minutes! I was thrilled and able to finish my project in time. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing from Sewing Gold - fair prices, prompt shipping and unparalleled customer service. Thank you, Steve!

Tim is knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about the hobby--no pressure, no attitude, just straight talk and fairness. The shop is well organized with a great mix of vintage and modern cards, and the pricing is reasonable and transparent. Tim took the time to talk cards, answer questions, and make sure I walked out with exactly what I was looking for. That kind of service is getting rare. If you're tired of overhyped shops or sellers who don't know their inventory, this place is a breath of fresh air. I'll absolutely be back and would recommend Tim's shop to any serious collector.
