The Jewelry Buyer — Local services in Portland

I had been seeing the advertisement from the The Jewelry Buyer on MeTV ( I think) and it reminded me that I had a beautiful dress watch from my dad that I hadn't worn in years. I have a small collection of watches but this one, being a dress watch, with both the watch case and band in 14k gold, was a bit too flashy for my style. The tv ad also reminded me that gold prices are up there right now, I think just under $1800 per ounce, so I decided it was time to sell it.

I visited four jewelry shops in Portland, including two of which were in downtown (as an aside, dealing with the traffic and parking in downtown Portland was a hassle) and of the four I visited earlier today, Randy at the Jewelry Buyer provided me with the highest price for my gold watch.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Randy at The Jewelry Buyer to anyone looking to sell their gold jewelry...

My 5 stars is NOT for the store and its owners but for the few brave souls here who have given an honest review regarding the underlying derisiveness and negativity this place most certainly holds. It is an unfortunate fact of today that one "bad apple" can truly spoil the entire barrel. This store is in a very sketchy area so that negative vibe most assuredly contaminates all the stores and homes in the area.

I had a great experience at Silver Lining in Gresham and JCR in Milwaukie.

My first time ever selling gold or jewelry and my friend took me here. Apparently she had sold some jewelry about 6 months prior. Not only did he give me way more than I expected him to, he did something that flat out astounded me. He remembered my friend from almost half a year ago and told her that he had made a mistake and under quoted her on a piece of jewelry she had sold him. He then pulled out fifty dollars and handed it to her because he felt he owed it to her from way beforehand. He didn’t have to do that. No one would have even known. I was so blown away that he did this out of his own free will that I immediately trusted him. My experience was more than positive and that one move made me feel confident in his...
