Why sell to a jewelry specialist? Why not sell your jewelry to a gold buyer, a pawn shop, or an online buyer? There are two reasons: value and security.
First off, selling to a jewelry specialist is much more likely to get you an offer amount that reflects the actual market value of your jewelry. Gold buyers and pawn shop employees are notorious for giving lowball offers for fine jewelry. One reason for this is that these types of buyers do not understand the value of precious fine jewelry (especially vintage or antique jewelry) and they give offers that “hedge their bets.” Another reason is that a buyer who doesn’t specialize in fine jewelry will have a harder time selling it, so they can’t buy for as much even if they understand an item’s market worth.
When you sell to a jewelry specialist like Jackie Abraham Jewelers, on the other hand, we will fully understand the value of your jewelry. Whether you’re selling a modern piece like a diamond engagement ring or a rare piece of Edwardian Era antique jewelry, we’ll know its fair market value. Additionally, as a jewelry specialist, we’ll already be connected with buyers who buy fine jewelry, so we can confidently give more competitive prices than other types of sellers.
Then, there’s the issue of security. Not all buyers are equally trustworthy and this is particularly true of online buyers of fine jewelry. Safely selling jewelry online requires that you do intensive research on the platform you’re selling on and/or on an individual seller. Unfortunately, there are many unscrupulous online buyers who prey on those who are selling highly priced items online.
There’s simply far less risk when you sell at a reputable business with longstanding physical storefront. Though, even then, we would always recommend researching any buyer’s trustworthiness and reputation before selling to them.
