MAINE GOLD & SILVER

unknown

The staff was friendly, courteous, and extremely knowledgable. They provided good suggestions for other items that they did not handle, and we will definitely use this service again when and if the need arises.

I took in some lose chains and rings to sell. They very carefully untangled my chains, no easy job. Divided into 10k and 14K, when he was done, I had a check in hand for over $2100.-, they were very personable and friendly. I had so much fun, I rethought some saved pieces, went back in today, 10/04/11, and walked out with another check, for just over $1700.-dollars. If there is a downside, it's the fact that they also sell absolutely gorgeous jewelry! They have estate pieces, unique pieces, gold and silver coins, and I could very easily spend the money I've earned on something new!

My husband and I went to Maine Gold and Silver to sell some old silver flatware and miscellaneous pieces we had from breaking up several estates over the years. We were thrilled to have worked with Jeff, who was so knowlegeable about every piece we had to sell. He answered all our questions, explained why some pieces were and quot;premiumand quot; and some were not. Before we went in to Maine Gold and Silver, we had a friend, who is extremely knowlegeable about silver, he is a collector, help us through the process of what questions to ask, etc. Jeff was not put off by our many questions and actually enjoyed talking about all the Intricacies of each piece we had. There was no pressure at all to sell any one piece or the whole lot for that matter. We were open from the beginning that there were two specific pieces that we didn't really want to sell, just needed a price on them. He was more than happy to help us with that request. He was up front from the beginning to the end. Before we went to Maine Gold and Silver, we called around for prices and to ask a few questions about the process of selling silver, and by far, Maine Gold and Silver was the most helpful on the phone. We feel we received the fairest and best price and were treated with total respect throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with the result of our experience with Maine Gold and Silver.

As a side note, while we were there, he noticed my engagement ring which is an art deco style ring, probably from the 1920's. When he found out I wore it 24 hours a day, every day, he suggested I have the prongs checked to make sure everything was secure. He brought my ring to the repairs department who, after looking the ring over thoroughly, told me that everything looked secure. How easily they could have told me a prong was about to go and it needed to be fixed, but they didn't. I was very impressed.
