What a wonderful bunch of folks! I had a good amount of old gold jewelry that I was going to bring to a company (?) that had set up in a hotel in town. A friend in my bridge club told me NO, don't do it! She said she had gone to one of their shows with some kind of silver dollars. She was paid $8 a coin, which she thought was pretty good for a one dollar coin. A friend had told her about this place, so she brought in more of these silver dollars, and got $24 for each coin from them! So, I brought my jewelry in. Talk about being surprised! One of the owners, Mike, wrote down the amount he was going to offer me, then had me guess the number. I had no idea, so I guessed high, $800. He showed me the number.... I got paid $1130! They were all so nice and offered me a bottle of water (a very hot day). Oh, and the place smelled great! Go, go, go, you'll be happy you did! - Anna T.

HOW TO AVOID LOWBALL OFFERS
Scams & Lowball Offers
There are a number of people "banking" on your naivety. However, you can avoid rip-offs by following two rules of thumb:
1. NEVER mail in your valuables
*There are no guarantees and you should witness the process
2. Avoid Traveling Road Shows
*Road shows are here today and gone tomorrow. They generally do must of the testing behind the curtain because they don't want you to know the true value of the jewelry. There is no going back, no one to contact and typically a road show pays ½ of what our gold shop is paying.
