I have to agree with Charles H. I found the owner and his youngster helper to be very rude and…read morecondescending. As I was looking thru the shop, You could hear them mocking and making fun of customers. Not the way to run a business by disrespecting your customers. You can find better outfits in other towns or on line. Neighborhood that the shop is in isn't great either. Too bad there was a no star rating. A definite zero in my book and not worth my travel time.

They have a large selection of things so it's good to go in knowing what you are looking for. I left with what I was looking for. I plan on coming back again. Like most coin shops I've been to they charge an hourly rate to appraise your collection unless you sell to them. Make sure to bring cash so you don't get charged the credit card fee especially if you are planning on a large purchase.

Evidently it is a family run store. Each person we dealt with was friendly. They patiently answered questions. Did we get a fair deal? I guess so. They quote you a price but you don't really know how much for each piece if you are selling a lot which was my friends situation. I would feel comfortable returning.

I had not checked around, so I told her I'd like to check one other place and I'd be back. She stated the price was good until 3pm today. I returned not even 10 mins later for her to offer me $200 less. I simply stated "Oh. I thought you said $$$." She immediately refuted it. The other two workers in the store even spoke up that she did tell me the price I quoted. She immediately got rude, insulted me by saying "your diamonds are tiny! They aren't worth anything!" And that she would never buy my rings for the price she originally quoted. I never got rude, I just questioned the change in price, and she was hateful. No need. I will never go back. I was more disappointed than anything as so many people had commented how great and friendly they were.

It was not a dupe from my parents. Regardless, I was told it would be purchased. More than 90 minutes later, I was told I could have $40 for it. It weighs 1.5 oz, and market rate is $48 an ounce , which would have been about $72. I was expecting to walk out with $55-$60. When I balked, Tom cursed a d said he didnt care if I didnt want to sell it and said a pawn shop would pay less. I chose not to go to a pawn shop. I went to what I believed was a fair business. Just be careful, because I met a lovely lady while waiting and she was there because his check to her didnt clear.
