"Went in to sell a little scrap gold I had around the house from work and an gawdy "gold" and Indian Head Penny ring I received as a Christmas present 10 years ago from a relative. This was my first visit to the store and certainly won't be my last. Jimmy was straight forward about what was good, what was junk, and what was a cheap gold plated ring. He had the numbers right there to show his analysis, 100% transparent on the whole transaction and up front about everything. It was a pleasure doing business there."
