I am Rob (Maria’s husband) commenting.
I have visited Lucy’s about a dozen times in the last couple of years, and during my visits, the staff are always friendly, informative with the products, help me with whatever I may need and willing to work with my budget, where if all fails, I can place things on lay-a-way and pay down monthly for those larger amount purchases.
Truth is, 95% of the time, I am typically a Buyer, but on a few occasions I have sold (traded) in some silver quarters, nickels, a broken necklace to even a gold filling, where Lucy’s staff are realistic and fair with their pricing of exchange.

While I visit the Cleaners next door (another 5-Star El Sobrante business), I always window shop and take a peek inside Lucy’s to just see what is new, and Lucy seems to change up her inventory often to keep the business fresh.
As of Aug. 2021, I recently purchased a Ryobi Impact & Power Drill, Drill Bit Set w/ 2 Batteries, Charger and the original Carrying Case; which I am pleased with my purchase and I shall...

Lucy's Coin and Jewerly made me feel like that, not only once or twice, but the countless times I've been in the store and its been on a consistant basis that I 've continued to feel that I'm valued more than anything I could possible bring in that store. That my friend is more than customer service, Its family! They have no clue as to what your hardship maybe or if your just pawning or giving up things because you dont want them any more or for money, However, I can tell you this: You will be treated with the upmost respect and professionalism and given the time needed to help you with anything you have questions about and like all great businesses, if they are not able to asist you, they'll wish you the best, knowing that they desired to help you in a very real way!
