Jewelry buyers Hartford CT – where do you start in the selection process? We have all reached that point in our lives when for one reason or another we want to sell our most precious possessions – our jewelry. Now this is never an easy task. Perhaps it’s the gold bracelet that you received from someone special years ago that you now have to let go of or the diamond ring whose value in your life is largely immeasurable. You now face the harsh reality that you must ‘part ways’ with the commodities you held very close to your heart. It may be because you’re broke (in these economic depression we all are!) or because the jewelry is simply worn out and you want an upgrade.
The emotional attachment is not nearly half the problem you are bound to encounter when you want to sell your jewelry. The hardest part is usually to find genuine jewelry buyers. On the one hand you have to battle with shrewd buyers who will stop at nothing to make a huge profit and on the other are con artists who would not pay you a dime for your prized possessions. So, question is, how do you distinguish genuine jewelry buyers from fraudsters? Or otherwise put, how do you separate the sheep from the goats?
Reputation
The first test in finding good jewelry buyers is assessing the reputation of the firms involved. Fraudsters can only defraud the public for so long. Within no time, you will hear of complaints from everywhere maybe the Internet or simply ‘word on the street.’ ‘Where there is smoke there is fire,’ the old adage goes. If you hear of rumours after rumours, all stating that certain jewelry buyers are con artists, then you should run-with your jewelry in hand- as far away from them as you can.
Experience
At the risk of discriminating against new entrants into the field, make no apologies for preferring experienced firms trading in jewelry over other firms. If a firm has been around for longer than its counterparts, it speaks two things. First that the business is genuine, because if it wasn’t, it would have been closed down, and second that the services delivered are exceptional – no wonder it still makes profits after staying in the field for so long.
Referrals
In selecting jewelry buyers Hartford CT it is prudent to rely on the opinions of other people-besides your own of course. If you know a friend who has sold his/her jewelry recently, you have all the reason to seek referrals from them. You can hardly make a wrong choice if you rely on the opinion of more than one person.
This list is not exhaustive. You need to ensure that you only deal with licensed and registered firms, so that in case of a problem you will know whom to sue.
