This review is a little late in posting, life happens . However the appreciation is still lingering in my memory! I must let Jessica at Woodland Gold &Silver know just how appreciative I was with the care and consideration of my time before I even came into the lovely store and when I arrived. I had quite a lot of old quarters(1964 and older) that I needed to sell. I had heaps of people telling me sell to people on EBay, Market place, etc⦠however my internal voice was hesitant as I have always done business in person. When youāre selling silver by the pounds, someone can take advantage of you or even your lack of knowledge! I called ahead to see if this was something they could accommodate, Covid protocols , spot price for silver and their policies . To be honest I had called another place close to home and had multiple officers from the East coast from coin people. Jessica called me back and I felt comfortable with the policy of the establishment and took a friend with me too, one can never be too safe!
Any fears I could have had for this small town & progressive shop was put to rest. She knew me by what I was carrying from our phone call! Great business skills people! A lovely shop it was with collectibles and baubles to look at while my transaction took place. I had so many coins it took time to process. I love that the scales and equipment were visible as well as the current prices of precious metals. Nothing shady here! I felt like I knew these people yet it was professional. When doing large transitions you want to have confidence of transparency and it to be fair to both parties! This should be the case between seller and buyer, it is only fair!
To say my experience was a positive one is an understatement. I have now found my place to do this business and also to see the cool vintage and antique finds within the store it self! On a personal note, I saw two puzzle rings in their case⦠sadly not put together. I had one when I was a kid and into adult hood until I lost it⦠so I asked if I could put them together to help them sell them(and get my fix tooš). Jessica said yes and I had a blast while my āsaleā was being sorted.
In time I did get both rings put together and I was so happy and a little outwardly overjoyed⦠I think I šÆ showed more emotions putting the rings together than the price I was given for my haul inā¦. tO be fair, I had an idea of what the ballpark was⦠inside I was so happy , so very happy! I felt it greedy to celebrate in a wayā¦my friend brought this to my attention in the truck. It was not untrue, yet I sincerely hope Jessica and her husband know how much I appreciated a fair and honest price and transaction ā¦. It afforded me the ability to get out of some debt due to illness and that was worth a party for sure. I didnāt want to disrespect them in anyway!
So THANK YOU Woodland Gold & silver for helping this girl out and a very, very special Thank you for the extra special kindness you bestowed me with the Puzzle rings⦠and the huge bonus too(you know what you did š)! I will NEVER ever forget how you treated me and those I observed for the hour I was in your store in that day in Aprilā¦I know small, family owned business survive on a good name⦠your Name is GREAT and I hope other people will give your shop a chance and even drive the distance, it is well worth it! Did I mention the beautiful pre loved jewelry in the case? The collectible coins & currency? (Again, I am sorry this was late...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI write my reviews like I write my songs or I drawl my pictures it's all about how I feel about it and it's important to me so take that with a grain of salt as you read my reviews .As an eccentric artist and intellectual who can be both difficult to deal with on a creative any technical side I experienced nothing but simple and straightforward interactions with woolen gold and silver both on the phone and in person at their shop on main street in woodland ca. I didn't find anything over embellishing in the services offered in their website and what I experienced after seeking a services everything was in alignment and was rather quick almost quicker than I wanted to be as the process was both informing and inviting. Not only did I walk out of the shop with some much-needed cash in hand but some knowledge as well. I will be a regular customer...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI don't like to accuse people but it's very funny to me that I couldn't find a double die coin after showing them a collection I had. Ever since that day I could not find that specific double die coin which was in pretty decent condition and i know what i had. So if your looking to check out a specific amount of coins especially a good amount be aware and keep an eye on...
