How it works

A clear, private process from first call to final decision.

Whether you're selling one ring or a houseful of heirlooms, the visit follows the same calm steps. Here's what to expect.

Four steps

From hello to a decision.

  1. I

    Get in touch

    Call or use the appointment form to request a time, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. Let us know roughly what you plan to bring.

  2. II

    Sit down together

    At our Overland Park office we look at each item with you at the table. You see every test and every weight.

  3. III

    Understand it first

    Before any number is mentioned, we explain what each piece is and what drives its value.

  4. IV

    Decide in your own time

    You get a clear offer, item by item. Accept all of it, part of it, or none of it. There's no pressure either way.

Before you come in

How to prepare

  • Leave it as it is

    Don't clean coins, polish silver or repair jewelry. Original condition is almost always worth more.

  • Keep sets together

    Albums, flatware sets and matching jewelry can be worth more as a group.

  • Bring what you know

    Receipts, boxes, papers or family history help us understand a piece, but none of it is required.

  • Bring a photo ID

    A valid government-issued photo ID is needed to complete any sale.

At the table

What we do, in order

  1. 1We sort your items by type and, for gold and silver, by purity.
  2. 2Metal is tested with non-destructive methods and weighed on a scale you can see.
  3. 3Coins, watches, notes and signed jewelry are checked for value beyond their metal.
  4. 4We explain what each item is and what drives its value, in plain language.
  5. 5You receive an itemized offer, then decide what, if anything, to sell.

Questions people ask

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. We see clients by appointment only, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, so every visit gets unhurried, private time. Call (402) 650-5981 or request a time through the form.

Can you price my items over the phone or by email?

We evaluate every item in person, by appointment. Purity, weight, authenticity and condition can only be confirmed with the piece in hand, so phone and email are for booking your visit.

What should I bring?

The items you're thinking of selling and a valid government-issued photo ID. Receipts, boxes and paperwork help but are never required.

Is there a fee to have my items looked at?

No. The evaluation is free and there's no obligation to sell.

How will I be paid?

We'll go over payment options when you book, so there are no surprises at the table.

Where are you located?

14400 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park, Kansas, on Metcalf in the south part of the city. We see clients from Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Lenexa, Prairie Village and the wider Kansas City area.
