Sansom Street Metals

My experience with Jay was exceptional. His professionalism, expertise, and efficient, thoughtful service made this whole experience a real pleasure. I had some gold items that I needed to sell. I didn’t really know where to go but came across a couple reviews about Samson Metals — liked what I read — went to this venue and had the good fortune to meet Jay. He carefully assessed the value of my gold items, explained how he came to the price — a fair and honest assessment — and a great price to boot compared to some others. Most importantly he was respectful, straightforward, and quick. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Jay and have recommended him to my family and friends.

I don’t have a personal jeweler so didn’t really have a place to go where they know me personally. Had an old ring, small 14ct. Never really thought about selling it till I saw the price of gold was over $ 1600 oz. Checked online and had a list of a few places.
Decided to park on jeweler’s row at 700 Sansom st. in CC Philly. The street is all metered parking so spots do open up. Found a spot quickly, paid 50 cents in the parking kiosk for 10 minutes time.
That 10 minutes was more then enough time. Entered the store which was located in basement level. Guys working inside were friendly and knew their stuff. Wife was with me also to make sure I didn’t get mixed up. No hassle, no problems and I walked out with a few hundred dollars. It was worth driving from suburbs and paying minimal fee for parking meter.

sansom street metals has no agenda. there is no haggling. they weigh your gold, and give you the best price. period.
i went to see my good friend and expert jeweler, john marchiafava of marchi jewlery on 8^th and walnut. he confirmed my research. my gold chain was worth about $ 780 in scrap. the last guy i tried to sell it to, who offered me $ 680, wasnt trying to rip me off, john said. if john was interested, he would offer me $ 680 as well. because he would do the same thing the first guy would do. walk down to sansom street metals and make a quick 50 bucks. john said i should look to get around $ 7 – 720 for the chain. he recommended sansom street metals.
i walked a couple blocks to sansom street. i walked down the steps into a basement. i gave the guy behind the counter the gold. «it’s worth $ 725», he said. i was confused. «is that what’s it worth, or is that what you’ll give me?». «that’s what i’ll give you», he said.
long story short, i walked outta there $ 725 richer. the entire process took no longer than 60 seconds. thanks john. thanks sansom street metals
