Dawson Road Jewelry & Pawn — Attraction in Albany

Please do not takes your silver and gold coins or bars here! I know how most pawn shops are they give you about half the value of your items. So I contacted them buy phone before going up there I asked if they were like.most shops they offer you half of the coins value and don't consider the rarity or condition. The lady says O no we are not like that so take up around $3000 dollars worth of sold silver and gold coins and bars. The melt value of over $900 in just silver alone so the gentleman takes about 45 minutes or so looking over everything then takes the lot of silver and says I can give you $450 for all this. Needless to say I took my coins back home. They apparently don't know what spot price is. Or they just want to rip people off. But they do a great job of waiting your time. No not interested interested in returning with them. The shop may be good people and maybe the gentleman is great with other items but silver coins and gold bars you really shouldn't have him deal with because if he was to give someone $450 for gold and silver with a scrap price of $1700 that's would be a rip off and I'm unable to deal with rip offs.

My girlfriend who is a single mom went in to get rid of some gold to pay an excessive power bill and was told by the young gentleman (if u can call someone a gentleman who takes advantage of a woman) it would bring $8 a gram. She had 28 grams and he gave her $150. That only adds up to $5.36 per gram. She called back and spoke with him and he said come back by and we'll work sumthin out. Well needless to say he gave her $50 more which was $24 shy if the $8 per gram. My problem is if u say $8 per gram and give $150 ui knowingly took advantage of a single mother just trying to make ends meet for the month. Just warning u potential customers out there that u need to be careful of these sheisters. Will not do repeat business with this...

My wife and I went to get our diamonds tested for chains and pendants that we own. The diamonds passed the diamond tester but they wanted to take the jewelry in the back to test the metals. They stated that the diamonds were in fact CZ diamonds which are fake diamonds. However, when we went to an official jewelry store, they confirmed that the diamonds were real SI diamonds and one was missing from the chain. Be careful when shopping here. They're scammers. I know that they're going to act like I'm just upset because my diamonds were fake. However, I went to an actual jewelry store and confirmed that they were real SI diamonds. Also, if they are not real, then why steal...
