Yates & Co. get an A+ ... It was a great experience. I was very comfortable during the sorting of the jewelry where I was not pressured or discouraged on what items I would sell. It was my choice on accepting the offer I was given when she was done sorting the jewelry. I was satisfied with the check I received and will pick Yates for other items I could sell or items to purchase in the future. I felt they were honest and very fair from start to finish on my first visit as a new customer. Did I mention fresh cookies! Quality Customer Service - A+

I had an awesome experience at Yates & Co. Jewelers. My husband and I took them a handful of broken jewelry to sell and hoped to get at least $500. What a surprise we got! I was so thrilled when we walked out with a check for $2120. It far exceeded anything I had dreamed.

Several times during the past couple months my wife and I sold some of our gold jewelry. Every time we shopped around to see who would pay us the most, Yates & Co Jewelers offer us the best price.

After getting an offer of $420 from the Roadshow Buyers that were set up at the Holiday Inn, I went to get a quote from Yates. Yates paid me $580! I got $160 more. Thanks for paying me $160 extra!
