Provided by YPmobileI walked in to this place looking to part with a 1 ounce silver round. With the price of silver currently at @ about $22.50 I expected them to give a little less than the $21.50 my local coin shop would give. The only reason I was even here was that I was out of town with my daughter at a friends baby shower and wanted to make sure I had some money in my pocket for gasoline. The one guy kept asking me what I was looking to walk out of the store with. I got a little worried when we started weighing the silver eagle and buffalo round I had... (both are standard 1 ounce and say so right on them. Then he asks another guy to come and take a look at the silver rounds I had. This person was the supposed coin expert.... he proceeds to offer me $8-$10 for the near perfect uncirculated coins I brought in.
Here is where I was wrong... I said "what are you high or what?"
The guy goes ballistic and calls me a mother fu**er and a c**k su**er and tells me to get the he** out of his store which is why I had already picked up my coins and started heading for the door. lol
I stopped and told the guy not to raise his voice at me and not to call me names. He repeats the swear words and adds that he's calling the police if I don't leave... I had to laugh inside.... because number 1, I was already leaving... number 2, I should be the one calling the police!
Not having the time for dirt bags like these guys I figured I would just pop onto a website like this and give a review of this ripoff business.
Have a blessed day and try to do yourself a favor and stay away from this place!... (Alexanders jewelry and loan)

Service is extremely poor. Staff doesn't know much about anything they were all sitting around playing video games when I came in. They WILL rip you off in any way possible giving next to nothing for just about everything you bring in. You are better off trying to sell on eBay and getting your monies worth because that's all these guys do. They will take your item, look it up on eBay (amazon etc.) find the cheapest one they can possibly find and then give you a small fraction of that price. I will never go in here again, Trader Johns just down the street is a much MUCH better choice with MUCH better staff.
