Why Albany Coin and Jewelry?
The most competitive Pricing and best Customer Service
Other stores advertise paying "top" dollar for gold scrap and bullion. We don't pay top dollar, we pay the highest dollar. Here is exactly how we can do that:
We are two owners, not paid employees as in the better known coin and jewelry stores in the area. You are not subsidizing the expensive cost of employees before the owner makes a profit. These savings are passed along to you.
We do not have expensive retail space. We offer office space to meet for transactions. This saves us several thousands of dollars a month, reduced costs which are passed along to you in the form of higher prices paid. We also can come to you. Many customers prefer our in-home appraisals for a number of reasons. Along with convenience for you this ensures privacy of transactions as other customers will not be looking over your shoulder. It also offers security by not having to take your valuables in and out of your car. It avoids the difficulties encountered lifting and transporting heavy boxes.
We rely on focused advertising mostly through the internet. Our best advertising is word of mouth when our customers refer us to friends, family, and colleagues. We don't spend many thousands of dollars each month on tv advertising as other coin and jewelry stores do to attract customers. Advertising, especially tv, can be very expensive requiring higher profit margins to meet sales goals.
We sell our scrap gold and silver directly to the refinery. This ensures we receive almost 100% of the assay. Dealing with the refinery requires high minimum weights for submission which in turn ties up large sums of money. Many jewelry stores don't have what amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars available to tie up, or have their money invested in inventory. They sell scrap jewelry as it is received to businesses such as ours in order to maintain a cash flow. That extra layer between metals buyer and the refinery costs dealers up to 7% in reduced profit. This is significant, and is passed along to you as a seller.
We are honest. We use a live feed of precious metal spot (trading) prices that provides you 100% transparency and allows us to give the most for your gold and silver.
Finally, we like to make money, but we also have a good time. We get to meet many interesting people, and make it a profitable time for everyone.
Now, if you are still in doubt look at our posted prices, and then call around before visiting. Prices offered by other dealers either will not compare, or you will not be provided with an exact price over the phone or e-mail.
