I went into A1 on the weekend, as I was looking for a Mac. Mark was the person helping me. Really…read morenice guy, he listened to what I was looking for and my price range. Mark and I even joked about me being such a Mac geek while he was bubble wrapping the computer for me. Over his shoulder I saw an Xbox Series One X, so I inquired. We bantered back and forth a little, then agreed on a price. HOWEVER, when he plugged it in to make sure everything was working properly he noticed a flaw. He took down the price again and asked me if i still wanted it. I said "yes of course". Point is, most places don't care and sell it at normal price. Most places don't take the time to get to know what their customers are looking for. Mark took the time. I walked out of there a VERY happy customer. Yes, I will be going back there. I recommend you check out this place. PS. Mac and Xbox work perfectly. Thank you for your friendly service. Trena

The otherwise humble shop owner claims his store as the oldest antique store on Main Street. That's…read moresomething, given the dozen or so that have popped up in the last five years alone. Old Stuff Two has been around since the seventies, and continues to please. The space is too small to stock a huge selection of furniture, so Old Stuff Two focuses on my favorite category of antiques: knick knacks! Don't miss the little drawers packed with key chains, door knobs, and old keys on the North side. And if you're looking for something particularly unique, check out the "Ray Gun" rack at the back, featuring space-age props made new and sold in their own section of the store.

For selling your old gold at scrap prices, I definitely recommend Gold Vancouver. For best results,…read moreyou should know the karat of the jewelry you are bringing in so that no mistakes can be made. It is not difficult to buy a magnifying glass to check for the karats on gold jewelry, or even sometimes using the zoom on your iphone camera might work (take a photo zoomed in, then examine photo after). I like that Gold Vancouver prints explicitly their prices of what they buy your gold for on their website and it is updated throughout the day as the markets fluctuate. There is no pressure from them to sell your piece after they give you a quote. I never once felt intimidated. The gentleman I dealt with Gary is a seasoned professional, no non-sense guy. Every transaction is noted in writing. Receipts clearly stated correct karats and weights. I got a cheque on the spot dated same day. No hassle and secure. I got cash from a real business and didn't have to worry about online scammers or my personal safety. If your jewelry doesn't have a clear legible stamp of the karats, then manual testing using the scrape method with some chemicals testing the scrape mark must be done, but note that this may not yield most accurate results. They also have a mass spectrometer in another room to test the metal in your jewelry but again results can vary with that. Overall, it is worthwhile to get a quote from them at the very least. I would get quotes from other establishments first and then go to Gold Vancouver after to see if the latter is indeed the highest scrap value.

NOT HONEST We…read morebrought gold jewelries to sell to Gary. This was in 2025. He is a very nice guy. We had a good chat and we were foolish enough to trust him. Before we went there, we also checked out gold prices around Vancouver and he does pay the most $ per gram. However, what I found out is that he is dishonest in his assessment of how many karat our gold jewelry is, not the weight, but the purity of the gold. I should have questioned him when he told us our very yellow gold jewelry is only 14 carat, and another ring only 10 carat. But I let it go because I have no use for my gold jewelry anymore and I wanted to get rid of them. I told myself I have no proof. Until a few weeks after the visit. Then I realized I had been scammed. I was looking through some of my diamond appraisals and I saw an appraisal of the 10g gold ring that Gary said is only 10 karat. My appraisal from Imperial Gem Lab appraised the gold at 18 karats, not 10. The difference in price per gram at that time between an 18 and a 10 karat gold is $45 a gram, so he ripped me off $450 just for that one ring alone! Let alone all the other stuff I sold him. So beware! Just because he pays the most $ per gram doesn't mean he'll pay the most for your jewelry. He might say your 22 carat jewelry is only 18 carat or your 18 karat only 10. Be cautious especially the heavy jewelries. That's where he'd want to lower the assessment of the quality/purity of your gold.
