| - I visited "The Gold Guy" the other day for the first time and was very impressed on many levels. I had previously gone to a similar establishment in Tempe (stay tuned for a horrible review) until I realized I was being lied to and taken advantage of.
When I entered " The Gold Guy " I was happily greeted by Larry, Carol, and another employee who's name escapes me right now (my apologies). After Carol offered me a bottle of water, I showed them the items I had and was told their weight. After Larry input the figures into his calculator, I was given what I thought to be a fair price and accepted his offer. I forgot my wallet at home, but after I returned to the shop, I was given a check for the amount and went on my way. What amazes me is that there are businesses out there that don't treat clients, especially 1st time clients with more respect and for some reason, have the expectation they will return to conduct business a 2nd time!!
At the beginning of my review, I mentioned I was quite impressed. I was because you couldn't ask to be treated with more respect than what they offer. I never got the feeling I was being " hustled " or that Larry wasn't being 100% honest and up front with me. I was in the car business for several years where I worked with and met plenty of individuals that were of course, the opposite so I've got a decent judgment of character. I would recommend this place of business to anyone, even family looking to pick up a few bucks and deal with people of integrity. I will definitely do business with Larry in the future and again, highly recommend his establishment.
