I've always known Southbay Coin for their vast collection of Rolex watches at their Los Angeles location. However, I recently visited their Lawndale location to sell gold, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Richard and Char were a pleasure to work with friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. They offered me the best price for my gold right up front, with no pressure or games. In an area where there are so many businesses buying gold, it's refreshing to find people who are honest, transparent, and willing to give you the highest value from the start. I highly recommend Southbay Coin to anyone looking to sell gold or shop for luxury watches. read more

Do not sell your items here or you will get ripped off. There was a lady who talked to me and was very nice and straight forward. No complaint there. I honestly wouldn't even be writing a review if my interaction was just that. But then a guy came. I had an unminted coin in a plastic protective case. I told him to be careful with it. Instead of being careful, he grabs it and throws it into the other bag of coins. Then, he offered to sell me silver at 24 dollars per oz (mind you, I had a large order worth hundreds). Today it's at over 58 dollars per oz. That is less than 50% of market value! For those of you who don't know, you should be selling silver at least at 90% of market value. I simply asked him what percent of market value he's selling at. He got incredibly rude and upset because he knew he was trying to sell to me at a horrible price. In conclusion, do your research, and don't go here. I don't understand how this place has a 4.6 star rating with such horrible prices. It must be because they've prayed on unsuspecting victims. read more

Richard was respectful and professional. I went in with some 14k gold jewelry and left with cash. Before going to South Bay Coin, I visited other gold buyers, but this place truly gave me the best price. Just know your numbers and don't expect too high of a %; places like this need to make a profit too, and that's understandable. Will definitely be back! read more

Didn't work out for me. I brought in about 13 pounds of 90% silver coins and they made me an unserious offer of 55% below spot price. Make of that what you will. Friendly people, just they're evidently not serious about buying precious metals. I asked for a quote over the phone, but they wouldn't give me one - I see it's obvious why not. I wouldn't have even wasted my time driving over there if I would have known they're not really interested in buying. Update: The next day I went to a competitor coin buyer/seller and received an offer of double what South Bay Coin offered. So it's definitely on them that they're not serious about buying. The only other possibility I can think of is that they're being dishonest - I really hope that's not the case. read more

We had a a wonderful experience with Bob, Richard, and Char at Southbay Coin. They were welcoming, and walked us the process in a way that we could understand. We didn't feel like they were trying to "get us." They made sure that we felt comfortable with the price offered to us. We do plan on going back to SouthBay Coin in the future. read more

Had a good experience at South Bay coin. They are friendly and helpful! Would sell again here.

From my first phone call to my walk-in experience, this was a very professional and efficient transaction. I was greeted warmly by Richard and Char, offered privacy while having my gold jewelry appraised and weighed, and had all my questions answered. The customer service was friendly and knowledgeable. There was free and easy street parking in front of the shop and also in the neighborhood. I would highly recommend South Bay Coin! read more

My experience was quick and hassle-free! The lady (I didn't catch her name) I spoke with over the phone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which instantly put me at ease about making the drive to this location. Robert was exceptionally cool, professional, and fair. My father and I are thoroughly satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. Thank you, and Go Dodgers! :) read more

Absolutely had a fabulous friendly experience here today. Most sell gold places make you feel like a criminal coming in to sell things which is awful because if you're coming in to sell your precious gold obviously you're not doing well in life at the time so the last thing you need is to be judged or looked down on. This place is an absolutely gem which is hard to find places with great quality caring customer service these days. Richard is such a gentleman and made this a pleasurable experience for sure! Definitely would give this place 20 stars if I could! read more

Richard was very nice and professional. He explained everything to me and I was out the door before I knew it. He gave me a fair price and I was happy with the trade. I would use them again if I needed to. read more

Do NOT go here! They lie! We have been to a few other coin/ gold exchange places and they ALL show you the weight and offer fair prices, but this place!! It's a hole in the wall that's dirty. These people are the WORST! Don't believe any of these 5 star reviews! read more

walked in, told them it was my first time there and was looking to buy an ounce or half ounce. immediately got a weird feeling, similar to when you say something incorrect in a situation and attitudes change. moving on we moved to a corner of the room to look at some pieces. he shows me an ounce and a half ounce. tells me the price and says there's taxes include with purchases under 12 thousand. i assumed the price he told me was taxes included but no. it's a 5 dollar premium on generic bar, taxes yet to be added. i don't know if he thought i didn't know silver and was naively buying silver or if he's upset people are buy at a dip so he's putting his own sur charge. i started whispering to myself doing the math in my head and to me saying so you're doing 3 over spot, he replied "it whatever you want to buy." so i just walked out. luckily this isn't my local coin shop and i was just checking out the area. read more

Sold a gold chain here got a fair price very good attitude and friendly environment. Come here if you have any jewelry they will take care of you ! read more

Drove 50 mins to get to this place after calling in and trying to get a quote over the phone. The woman who helped was very nice and told me that I needed to come in. I explained to her the items I had and she suggested that I come in to get a quote because they didn't do quotes over the phone. I called 3 times to make sure. When I arrived gentleman who helped me couldn't quote because his machine can't verify 24K. Only goes up to 22K. How does one buy gold with out having any tools to determine the purity? Wasted time driving here and took less than a minute for him to tell me he couldn't do anything. read more

Richard is the man, always helps me when it's time to sell some gold! I've been there a few times and they always pay the best.

I went in to sell some old pieces of gold that I don't wear anymore, and some broken stuff that I just have had laying around. I met Bob the owner, and Richard the manager, and they were both super nice guys. They tested and checked out each of the pieces I was looking to sell, and explained how they work. They weighed them in front of me, and gave me a great deal. I would absolutely recommend that you check them out if you have gold that you're looking to sell. They definitely passed the vibe check! 10/10 recommend. read more

Have such a wonderful customer service. And honestly and welling to help and negotiate!
