Save yourselves time and go to Eric direct! We had some old gold/silver jewelry that had not been worn for years, so decided to sell and convert to cash. First place we went was a shoe repair shop (mistake #1) with sign on window that says "we buy gold" - spent about 45 minutes for him to test everything and he offered less than $2,000 then refused to give us back the jewelry because he spent time on testing and providing us the quote?! Another gold jewelry buyer offered $2,300. Went to Eric the following day; spent about 20 minutes in his office and came out with $3,200+ check in hand. Eric is very pleasant to work with and knows his business; he is more than fair, and best of all, very honest! All the good reviews about Eric are good indications that people trust him and he is the right choice.
