Johnson City Gold Rush

5 star review

What a great experience I had selling my scrap gold here! I had a lot of misc. pieces of varying quality and was concerned about how much time it would take them to test everything, but they were so patient -- for over an hour! Braxton explained the process of how testing is done, and Carol and Carolyn went through every item with me, testing and also looking at quality marks. I feel I got a great settlement on my items in addition to excellent, friendly service. I'll definitely be recommending them to my friends and going back again myself! A note to readers -- I did my research before stopping in here, and I knew going in that the low reviews might or might not be realistic. What I found is that (I think) many people who leave reviews aren't careful about reviewing the place they went to vs. the place THEY THINK they went to. (That even applies to restaurant reviews and other types of merchants, not just this industry.) Also, this is not a pawn shop! If you're wanting to sell something for resale vs. scrap value, especially with stones or other metals mixed in (think, especially, watches), I'm pretty sure that isn't the business these folks are in; they are looking at the value of the metal contained in the item. Also, many people feel they aren't getting a "fair" deal if they aren't getting close to what they paid for an item, so they may leave a poor review. The price that was paid for an item includes a LOT of costs that are outside the value of the metal itself. If you aren't familiar with selling gold scrap, and you aren't happy with your offer, just go somewhere else and see if you can do better! As for coins, I can tell you that you must expect to take a discount on what you're selling, as that's the way the metals industry works. If you don't know that, you shouldn't be investing in coins to begin with. That's just my 2-cents worth after reviewing the negative reviews on this business. For what it's worth.

Very nice lady, professional and gave me a more than fair price for my ring

I have never sold gold before and I was so terrified of the experience BUT I had the most amazing experience dealing with Johnson City Gold Rush! Not only did the wonderful ladies educate me but they gave me a great price on my gold coin earrings. I would encourage anyone to do business with these honest friendly people.

Great place Great people give you top dollar for your jewelry silver gold coins etc. Will gladly return... Very clean store. Fast service

I will definitely not be back for business here. Went in to sell my 14Karat gold watch with diamonds that they said was not worth more than 2k and that was the best they could give me and when it was weighed it said 95 grams when to be exact I knew the exact grams was more than 110g. Went down the street and they gave me 5x that number. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BACK!

Carol was INCREDIBLY helpful as well as very informative about what I had and what options I had moving forward. She has cultivated quite a comfortable atmosphere that even though this was my first time coming in it felt similar to visiting an old friend. 🤗🌻

Great guys to work with!! They treat you fair and give you exactly what the cost should be. Will definitely be back to do business again with these guys. They are a great company. If you have gold or silver or coins come here!!
