Canadian Collectors Roadshow review. Cash In Gold pays almost twice as much.

December 14th, 2011

Here we go again. Another roadshow has come to town that tries to cache on the Antiques Roadshow television show.

A client alerted me to this bunch and I went in to check it out myself. From what I saw this organization is more about buying gold and silver than anything else. I have been to their web site, www.collectorsroadshow.ca, and they do not mention what they pay.

I offered various gold coins for possible sale and I was shocked how little they offered.

  • For a George V sovereign they offered $200.00. The gold value for this coin is $398.45
  • For a St Gaudins $20 Gold Coin they offered $860.00. The gold value for this is $1,690.00
  • For a 50 Peso Gold Coin they offered $960.00. The gold value for this is $2,028.00.

I would suggest that if you go to see this bunch please know the value of your gold before you accept any offer from them. Arm yourself with what my payouts are for that day and insist they at least match my posted prices. Please keep in mind that we do not have service fees and no hidden costs, what you see is what you get. A wise consumer is our best customer.

Marcus & Company Estate Buyers Inc review, Cash In Gold pays 13.6% more

November 16th, 2011

Well this company is back in town offering to buy $1,000,000 in estate items which I am guessing will be mostly gold and silver. Their ad in the Citizen is flashy and large but they do not mention what they pay for gold but for the first time I noticed they do mention what they pay for silver coins, 14 times the face value.

Well lets take a look at that a little closer and see what percentage of the silver value they are actually paying. If you would like to do the math yourself the key factors are that one dollars worth of coins weighs approx 23.32g, Canadian coins pre 1967 are 80% silver, today’s Silver price is $35.24 Can. per Troy ounce and that there are 31.1035 g per Troy ounce. If I did the math correctly, please let me know if I didn’t, that comes to a payout of 66% of the silver content.

On the surface a 66% payout for silver may not seem too bad but here in town there are a number of buyers, myself included, who pay up towards 75% of the silver content. Why not get an extra 13.6% more for your silver.

Now lets keep in mind that they do not post their gold price. I suspect that the posted silver price is to bring you in. I suggest that if you do want to get a quote for your gold, from this operation, arm yourself with the posted prices on this site, and make sure you get the most for your gold.

Also, dealing with an Ottawa company is a lot easier than dealing with some Newmarket company that comes into town a couple of times a year.

Cash In Gold client video testimonials ” Aida “

We are very happy to post client video testimonials.

If I may take a moment to set the stage. In order to have a high presence on google places, they recommend that I post video testimonials. Luckily my Iphone has video capabilities so I thought I would ask my clients if they would be so gracious as to let me film them. Some of my clients were very happy and willing to help.

A couple of notes. I only film one take. There are no rehearsals. I ask the client to say whatever they feel and I only prompt them with “what do you think of Cash In Gold?” These testimonials are spontaneous and genuine.

I am very proud of how my clients feel about my service and I feel obligated to ensure I don’t ever disappoint their trust in me.

Service

May 4th, 2011

Along with scheduling appointments at our office I also spend a good portion of my week doing service calls. Yes, I come to see you at your convenience. This service call is free and there is no obligation on your part. You are important to us and deserve the very best we can offer.

Service is more than just offering a counter operation. Those customers that are selling a large amount of gold do not want to line up and wait at an event or scurry around town with their gold or a shopping bag of silver trays. For example, a professional appreciates us coming to their office at their convenience. All of our customers appreciate that level of service and convenience. This is one of the benefits of dealing with a registered business that does service calls.

My customers are telling me that some of my competitors, who do not offer service calls, are saying that service calls are not safe. I think this type of negativity tells you more about the organization spouting it.
An office or home service call from a registered professional is much safer than going to a seedy part of town or lining up at an arena for a gold event. Any unsavory character who sees you knows you have gold going in and either gold or money coming out.
In a service call the only people who know what is being transacted are you and me. As a registered business, with my picture and reputation on full display, you are in very safe hands. I have been in business for years and I have a vested interest in staying in business.
