If you are searching for a reputable gold buyer, you've come to the right place. Your friends and neighbors have been selling gold, jewelry, diamonds, Rolex, and coins to us since 1988.
If it is gold, silver, platinum, or palladium - we buy it. It's an easy process. Just bring the items in, one of our buyers will happily examine the pieces with you. We measure and weigh everything to determine its wholesale value, then make you an offer. You can accept the offer, or not, totally up to you. We pay by check from Oak Valley Community Bank, and you are welcome to cash it immediately.
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.
