  I was looking for an agent to help me and my family buy a home. We were not sure where to start but I must admit that they have been a huge help to us. We have found what we were looking for. Couldn't be anymore pleased.

  After doing some research to try and find an honest and reputable place to sell my gold and old jewelry, I found San Diego Jewelry Buyers and Carl Blackburn. I was very pleased with my experience and based on other reviews and calls that I made, he truly does pay the most for your jewelry and is very honest. The experience was also very interesting as he explained to me what he was doing when he tested the jewelry. I highly recommend going to San Diego Jewelry Buyers if you are wanting to sell your unwanted gold or jewelry.

  After reading many reviews from happy customers of San Diego Jewelry Buyers, I met today with Carl Blackburn, founder and co-owner, to sell some old family jewelry. I was EXTREMELY pleased with Carl's professionalism, and with the friendliness of Carl and his staff. Because of my great experience selling jewelry today, I look forward to meeting with Carl next week, to sell more unused family jewelry.

  After spending much time looking for information on where to sell my gold on the web, I found most of the material to be confusing and misleading. Visiting various retailers wasn't that much more helpful as most of them were less than transparent on how they were valuing the gold. I received a quote of $370 at Fashion Valley, where they did a test to claim that what I thought was 24K gold is actually 18K. When I told them the price seemed low (even at 18K) they just said that there is a processing commission (turns out that's another word for profit) and they can't explain how they quote gold. It doesn't take a much to realize that if gold is selling at $950 an oz and that even accounting for the 18K gold that there is about an oz of pure gold that $370 is almost a 200% profit margin. A jeweler by the San Diego UTC said it was 22K and offered $590 and Carl who buys and sells gold all the time, told me it is actually 24K and paid $980. Carl was very honest and upfront about how he valued the gold. In fact, he is the only one I met who actually allowed me to double check his calculations. I strongly recommend trying this so you can see how much of a profit margin you are giving to other jewelers. Once you have the weight of your gold in grams you can convert it to troy ounces (1 troy ounce = 31.1g) to see how much it is worth using today's gold prices which are always reported in troy ounces. Pure gold 24K is 99.9%. Anything lower than 24K is simply a fraction of that, so 18K is 18K/24K=75% gold. Carl's 15% commission is easily calculated and is very fair. You will also find that other places (as I found) actually charge as much as 100% to 300% commission. Don't get robbed, get an estimate from Carl and ask him to explain the process. If you have any doubts Carl's store is at the Jewlery Exchange where there are like 20 other jewelers buying and selling gold. It is easy enough to go and get a few competing quotes. I have not found anyone who is more easy to deal with and who explained the process and the various things to look out for. For example, Carl is the first person to alert me to the refinery scam, where most refineries aren't really refineries. It turns out that for pure gold a refinery isn't even needed as most jewelers can work with pure gold. He also told me that when gold is not properly stamped, many places will tell you its of a lower quality than it is. I saw this first hand. Be careful of some of the tests, for they may not be accurate (especially for 24K) or they can be doctored. If it looks and feels like 24K get additional opinions and validation before you believe it isn't. I would highly recommend getting a quote from Carl, before selling your gold.

  I recently visited SDJB and my experience was very pleasant. I especially liked Carl’s calm mannerism. He took his time and did not rush, which made me feel very comfortable. He seemed knowledgeable and honest. Throughout of his evaluation he explained the process very clearly and answered every question with honesty. Even when he did not know the answer to one of my question he brought in his partner, who was an expert. The entire time I was there I did not feel any pressure. I Will recommend SDJB to all my friends.
