Very thoughtful and professional

Friendly, fast, and was a very fair offer!

The employees act pretentious and the on duty security (NKC Police Officer) will run your name for warrants.Overall I felt like they were judgemental and rude and will ABSOLUTELY NOT BE BACK FOR FUTURE BUSINESS.

Went there to sell some gold. First off the parking lot has security by the north Kansas City Police Department, always a good thing. Was greeted by a internal security person at the door who answered my questions fast and accurately. He directed me to a gentleman named Eric, Eric took care of my sale, he was quick with the ascertainment of my precious metals. They accepted my gold and issued me a check promptly. It was a nice experience.

They offer 10% below spot on silver bars while other merchants in the metro area are offering 5% below spot, so I guess this is the place to sell if you like losing an additional 5%.

Do Not sell your coins here! other local dealers agree that this man not only lowballs appraisals but is absolutely out of line on his estimated values I went here to discuss a possible sale of a decent size coin collection. I was concerned right away when i started to explain that i like coin collecting but have way too many and wanted to downsize . I wanted to judge his fairness and knowledge so i specifically described 3 coins that i knew the value and the sale value . 1887 circulated silver dollar ...he said melt value $45 (silver is at. $96.0") right now....a 1884 Carson city uncirculated silver dollar MS64 grade he said $250 they aren't worth that much ( the value of this very collectors coin is $1200-1500) i immediately went to reputable dealers and they all agreed that not only was this company in this band seriously low bowling, but absolutely out of line !!

This is long so bear with me… Reading other people’s negative reviews prompted me to write my own review. My experience at this business has been incredibly positive. Today was my second visit. I’m a derivatives trader by profession, but I occasionally scrounge up & collect rounds and scrap silver/gold. I have a small scale at home & I always know the current price of spot so I generally know what I’m walking in with & what the value is. I’ve been known to “play dumb” as a seller, which I did on my first visit to this store. I didn’t act as uninformed when I went in today. I didn’t need to. They already passed my test the first time. Both times I’ve sold silver/gold here, the offers I was given (and accepted) were within $10-15 of what I personally calculated before deciding to sell. This tells me that they’re fair and honest. As far as anyone complaining about the police presence or the atmosphere, again, my experience has been positive. I’ve encountered a total of four different officers, all of whom were polite and helpful (dare I say even funny and welcoming). The atmosphere is what I expect it to be for a business of this kind - clean & professional. I understand that they serve a very specific type of clientele. The employees & atmosphere are a reflection of the primary demographic they’re serving. Personally, I’m a t-shirt & jeans person. I live in the P&L District & I work from home because the stock market doesn’t require me to be in an office. That being the case, I decided not to replace my vehicle after it was totaled. Instead, I walk or use public transportation. I mention this because both times I’ve visited this store, I was wearing a t-shirt & jeans and I’m sure I looked dehydrated & sweaty because it was hot & I walked a long distance to get there. Despite my appearance, I was welcomed in and treated with respect both times. I didn’t feel looked down upon or like I was treated any differently than anyone else. This is a great business. The people are honest & professional. I’ll keep doing business here.
