Frequently Asked Questions
How do estimates work?
Text clear photos, any lab reports (GIA, IGI), and weights. I reply with a ballpark range. If that works, we schedule an appointment and finalize the offer in person.
How do you pay?
Payment is made on the spot by check or Zelle.
Do you publish rates?
Yes, I always pay at least 75% of the scrap value, and higher rates for larger quantities and more sellable items. Ask about today’s rates when you text your photos.
