Geoff has built an excellent operation and is a pleasure to do business with. Thank you very much for helping me liquidate my family's valuables.

Please do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. This man is extremely rude and condescending. I hope he got the ego boost he needed from trying to make a young woman feel humiliated.My mother in law recently came across some antique silverware that belonged to her great aunt. I deal with some vintage pretty regularly but silver and flatware are out of my realm, so I made sure I did my research on the best place to take it before coming here. I don’t understand how this place has so many good reviews. I felt immediately misjudged as soon as I walked in the door, as if they’ve never done business with anybody with tattoos before. I didn’t know much about what I brought in, if it was sterling silver or silver plated but it was really old and we thought it could be worth something.As soon as he began looking at it, he said “Your mother in law has cheap flatware”. He proceeded to call in “junk” and “garbage” multiple times as he went on looking at it. He even went on to say it belonged in the trash. When he was finished looking I tried to ask him if it was silver plated, just trying to understand what it was, and all he did was say insulting things again. It would have been SO simple to just tell me it wasn’t worth anything. I felt extremely uncomfortable and the woman who works there just weirdly stared at me the whole time. 0/10

Jeff is a legend. Top shop for currency and all things precious. Metals, gems, coins, and notes, he's the real deal. Check out his massive pyrite!

Jeff is fair and honest. When it comes to selling gold, you can count on him to be trustworthy. I recommend Santa Barbara Precious Metals 100%.

In helping out an elder friend purge some belongings, I took a container of various silver materials to SB Precious Metals be estimated. They were so kind and patient throughout the process! There were so many bits and bobs to sort through and they did it was a friendly and professional disposition from beginning to end. For someone like me where this sort of transaction is out of my normal realm, this was huge! In the end, they made a very reasonable offer. I'm grateful for their time, patience and expertise!

Just an excellent experience. Got a VERY fair price for my gold and silver with zero haggling and Geoff was awesome to work with. I will definitely be back. I can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks!

Recently came here to unload some one ounce gold pieces for a family member. The owner gave me a no-nonsense, excellent rate without the need to haggle. Transaction only took a few minutes and paid cash, which is what I wanted. Couldn't ask for a better experience. My wife sold some (ex-boyfriend!) gold jewelry here a while back and had a similar, very pleasant and professional experience. Great shop!

I have taken scrap jewelry to several places in the area to look for the best amount I could get for my lot and he is by far the most honest and fair. Highly recommend going here for any and all of your precious metal needs!

Called to inquire on a price for buying and i was quoted $5.50 premium per ounce. today silver is @$27.50. so a 20% premium... i guess Jeff isn't really into selling silver.

Geoff is fair and honorable. I sold a large coin collection to him and he was was always professional and no-nonsense. I would strongly recommend SBPM to anyone looking to sell gold, silver, or coins.

My mother recently passed away. She had a large coin collection I want to sell so I sent my son in today to talk to the owner because of the good reviews I read. The door to the store was locked with a sign that said to call for service so that is what my son did. The man/owner did not respond in any way when my son called so my son called again. The man working then came flying out the door screaming at my son for calling twice. I am aware businesses are operating differently now because of Covid but he did not have a sign on the door that said one customer at a time or stating any rules for entering. You lost out on a potentially large buying opportunity being that I just wanted to unload them.

I'll never buy silver from SB precious metals. I called today March 16th when silver spot price was under $13. Wanted to buy 100oz bar. Jeff told me he selling them for 1650. Outrageous markup. 3.50 over spot price per ounce. Rip-off!!!!

I've been buying & selling at SBPM with Geoff for years now. Always fair on both buying & selling. In these uncertain times, with no other dealers selling, it's nice that Geoff has something to offer.
