I went in with the money and intention to buy the right guitar in my price range. I was the only…read morecustomer. Two ladies behind the main counter were bulljiving about something they were looking at on their phones. A guy gave the canned welcome spiel, from behind the same counterl with "Can i help you with anything today?" I pointed towards the guitars and said, "yes, i'm looking for a guitar". By the time i walked over to the counter he had disappeared to the back. I asked "where did he go?' and the women completely ignored me. I could see another guy in the doorway to the back room, on his phone. None of them were wearing masks. I looked at the guitars for a long time, glancing over at the women and trying to make it clear i needed help. I saw several guitars i liked but they were too far away to read most prices. The ones i could see were overpriced for what they were. I walked over to a different section of guitars. Held my hands up, and even said out loud, "I guess nobody wants to sell me a guitar today." I didn't want to interrupt the women by asking them to do their job. I left, never going back.

The owner, Louis, has been an outstanding help with getting me all of the foreign sovereign 1oz coins, like Maples, Britannias, Aussie coins, etc. He also keeps a good amount of Silver Eagles and various bars for sale as well.

I really can't speak highly enough of Golden Isles. I had 4 oz. of mostly 14k gold jewelry I was…read morelooking to sell. Having sold gold jewelry in the past and knowing the current market price, I knew approximately what amount I wanted to receive from a gold buyer. After going to 2 other very well-reviewed gold buyers in the Raleigh area and being extremely unhappy with their offers (as well as feeling manipulated/scammed in the process), I came to Golden Isles. I was helped quickly and the owner was really nice & friendly. AND they gave me ***nearly $3,000*** more for my gold than the other two businesses offered. Many seemingly reputable/high-end businesses will pretend to be your friend or offer frills when you visit, but will rip you off. No, Golden Isles didn't offer me champagne at the door (like one other business I visited did) - but they were the only honest company I encountered. FYI: Before visiting a gold buying business - ask what cut they will take! If it's 30-40% for 14k gold, you are visiting the wrong place. You can get a much better rate at Golden Isles! I will NEVER go anywhere else in the area to sell gold/silver.

The owner greeted us with a smile and listened to our saga. He went thru each item with us and educated us. He confirmed what we thought, our relative had spent hard earned money for junk. You know those late night commercials which offer too good to be true deals. All I know is we were able to hand off all items in one place and be done with it. We feel our $ take away was fair for the additional work we did not have to do.
