Some time ago I went to Rogue Valley Coin and Jewelry looking for a watch. I saw a Citizens that seemed to be priced fairly but when I asked questions about the age of the watch I detected a hostile attitude on the part of the person I had been talking to. It was strange.
I remembered the endless ads you hear from Claire on the radio every day telling you to gather up all your gold and silver pieces even dental gold for an evaluation [not an appraisal] an appraisal might be binding ; and you can get an even bigger percentage [ What exactly do they mean here } when you purchase any of their jewelry.
I guess someone who finds something they like ,they tend NOT to pay attention to what they are selling or getting for it in cash , ,thinking only of the much bigger percentage they will get when they purchase their desired piece of jewelry. It's all a very cleverly thought out scam. And so later the next day or so, I called and spoke to a lady that had a slight foreign accent. She told me it was Hungarian. O.K. another globalist ,so what.. I mentioned that I had some bits and pieces of gold I would like to apply the value to a watch I had seen earlier that was selling for 90.00$ She said sure . I then asked what the additional percentage would be applied to the watch and she couldn't answer. I asked to confirm the price of the watch and as I expected they jacked up the price to 127.00$ When I mentioned that ,she stated that the watch at that time was on special. But no longer.
So whatever larger percentage they claim to offer you when purchasing a piece of jewelry you can expect to lose it after they raise the price of the item.
I can offer you 90% discount after I raise the retail by a hundred percent.
It's all a clever swindle. Don't be fooled. I think there may be a tribe of jewelers in the area ,many from Hungary.
I would never have anything to do with these folks ,not in a million years!
Do not BUY here! It's like a car dealer giving you a lot for your trade in ,only to reduce the discount you would've received without a trade in.. It' It's all...
Read moreMeeting Mike and John was wonderful.
We are coin dealers who travel the entire country buying and selling. We have met all kinds of people who own coin shops, but rarely anyone who conducts such an honest and straight-forward business.
We spent 2 days inside their shop buying. Mike is a seasoned dealer, but by that I only mean someone who has been around the block and will not pull your leg.
Our dealings were honest and genuine, I wish more people could be like this family. When inside the shop, we saw more than a dozen people come in trying to sell coins or scrap jewelry. Nearly all of the prices they paid were more than we could have if we were in that position.
When leaving, we purchased a large gold chain which had nearly 3 ounces of pure gold in it. Several months later we were passing through Medford and decided to sell the piece off. I took the necklace back to Mike and what he offered me was a single digit margin less than we paid (this is VERY fair).
We were not only impressed, but honored to deal with this family. Mike's wife Claire was kind and gracious as well as very giving of her knowledge and experience in gemstones (one of our passions as rockhounds)..
When I mentioned local fishing, Mike's son Chris went out of his way and printed out the current local fishing report for the Rogue and Deschutes Rivers. Then he recommended the best bait and tackle shop locally. WHO DOES THIS???!!!
When in Medford, it was August, and EXTREMELY hot. When Mike realized my wife and daughter were hanging out in our RV a couple of blocks away, he begged me to bring them in.... It just felt comfortable and genuine.
This is a place that we will always return to when anywhere in the area.
Thank you for such fair dealings and running an upright business, you have our...
Read moreI got ripped off. Badly. And will never go back. So after selling my 2.2grams of gold for a whopping $73 today I just wanted to say that I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that you guys would advertise that you sell gold for current prices bc you ripped me off. After leaving and checking the APMEX, I found out gold is currently going for as of today, $87.82 PER GRAM. And you guys gave me $73?! Like WOW. I thought this business was an honest and fair place to go to to sell your gold until today. I will NEVER go back and WILL NEVER recommend your business to anyone I know EVER again. You may have ripped me off bc I'm a woman and feel like you made a real come up on me, but I needed that money to help pay for gas in my car and for groceries to feed my kids. Advice? Maybe you should think about fixing the words on your website where you claim to pay out for gold on the current price all the way up to the minute. But hey, thanks for my whopping $73 compared to the $175.64 that should have been paid out for my 2.2 grams...
