I had some silver to sell and decided to go to Paul after reading some nice reviews. I wasn't disappointed. I called ahead and Paul was glad to do business without delay. He was kind & professional, and everything was very above board. Plus I learned a few things about the coins that I was holding. I consider Paul a trustworthy precious metals dealer and would recommend his services.
Paul is awesome! He’s very professional, thorough, and kind. I brought a ring in for appraisal and he efficiently helped me. I highly recommend his services!
Phil spent more than adequate time with me to evaluate my items. He was efficient, professional and courteous. I would encourage anyone who needs appraisals to rely on his skill and acumen.
Paul is awesome!! He's very professional, thorough, and kind. I brought a ring in and he efficiently appraised it for me. I highly recommend his services!
I had a wonderful experience getting my jewelry appraised. He was genuine, honest and was happy to answer any of my questions. I didn't feel any pressure to sell items I was attached to and I really appreciated that as that was a major concern of mine when looking for an appraiser. I ended up selling some things to him and received a check right away. I will definitely go back again.
Paul was incredibly thoughtful, detailed, and education oriented. My insurer was even impressed with the level of detail in his appraisal report. He was timely, friendly, and did the inspection on the spot with me throwing some questions his way - and within just a couple of days sent me a super detailed report. Will 100% be telling friends and family to visit Paul when they need appraisals or to sell jewelry in the future.
I love this place! The service was really amazing! Paul offered fair prices on jewelry.
Paul responded straight away and fit me in for a next-day appointment. He provided a quick turnaround for what I needed and I will definitely recommend Paul...
Boss man was a real one. Everytime he treated me like family. If you want a place that treats you like family and a good man, this is the place to go.
Paul is extremely honest and fair in his appraisals and valuations. He clearly explains and thoroughly educates about his process. He takes time with each piece and we never feel like we are being rushed. Paul is a credit to his profession and it is always a pleasure to conduct business with him.
