Great place. Just make sure you bring enough. I brought in 3 ounces of sterling silver. 2 1/2 gs of gold. I was told they don’t deal with small amounts. I wish I knew the minimum amount they except for next time.

Issac is a pleasure to do business with. Gold is crazy high right now (so he is crazy busy), but he has a very calm and relaxed vibe that puts you at ease. His prices are more than fair. It's worth the long drive for me to go to him vs. a local gold/silver buying place.
