Why Sell To Us
Selling to Yates is better for you than the Cash For Gold places you ship your valuables off to.
You see us in person. No mailing off your valuables, hoping the package arrives, then having your items held hostage until you accept an unsatisfactory offer. It is better for you to deal face to face with a long-time jeweler. We are the gold jewelry buyer that is your best choice.
We didn’t know what to do with coins our mother left us in her safe deposit box. Ron came highly recommended and he delivered. Ron was efficient and educational. He gave us a fair price for the coins he bought. We couldn’t be more pleased at the result. Thanks Ron and team.
