YES! Randy was a super nice guy and I didn't feel like a junkie when I walked it thanks to all these reviews. I could not tell from the reviews what kind of jewelry he bought. Maybe this might be helpful for another reviewer: I walked in with a $4k ring and it was just too fancy. He did send me to his brother though, downtown, not quite the sweetheart that Randy is.
Wow! I HIGHLY recommend this place!!! I've never sold jewelry before, so I had no idea what to expect. My mother gave me some estate jewelry from her aunt a few years ago and I just kept it in a box in the closet. She told me to keep whatever I wanted and perhaps sell the rest.
Finally, as funds have been very tight for me lately, I went

Finally, as funds have been very tight for me lately, I went to some random local shop I had driven by a few times: The Jewelry Buyer. Randy was amazing! He patiently answered my questions and he was kind, informative, and generous-- not to mention delightfully humorous. He looked through my box and I walked away with over $300 cash for just a few items within 15 minutes!
What a sincerely great experience. I'll definitely go back if I find anymore jewelry I want to sell.
I would have tried to sell my gold jewelry sooner, but did not have one clue how to go about it. I sorted through everything we had and I checked Yelp to find these great reviews about Randy, The Jewelry Buyer on Sandy Blvd. We decided to just go in today as sort of a fact-finding mission. It was easy to find and there was parking right
I would have tried to sell my gold jewelry sooner, but did not have one clue how to go about it. I sorted through everything we had and I checked Yelp to find these great reviews about Randy, The Jewelry Buyer on Sandy Blvd. We decided to just go in today as sort of a fact-finding mission. It was easy to find and there was parking right in front. Randy is super friendly and very forthcoming about how he evaluates things to buy. He tests it and makes two piles, one for gold and one for gold-filled. He returned the gold-filled to me and weighed the gold. It soon became clear that there is no need to check anywhere else, this is a great place! We left with way more $$$ than we expected. (We're going to check with him about the value of some of our old coin collection next). Thanks, Randy!
