JS Gold had an article in the online Cincinnati Enquirer saying they paid 85% to 95% of the price of gold. I have copies of this article. I went there to sell items which were really nice 2 diamond rings and a gold rope chain, all undamaged items expecting they should bring 95% only to discover they don't even pay close to 85% on anything. They offered around 60%. They want to take your items you bought from the jewelry stores and make 38% on them, because the refinery only charges them around 2%. How greedy can you get. I tried calling before I went there to get prices, but they gave me some ricidulous story about they can't quote because of plumb law, which is that some gold can be only 13.5K instead of 14K. Well I talked to three other stores and they told me there is no test that a store can do to determine if an item is 13.5k or 14k and that this is just a scam by JS. They said they all pay for it as 14K. I should have listened and never went there, but since it was an article by the enquirer I thought it to be true. I also really did not feel safe there. The store is very open and everyone could see what the other customers had and what they were getting paid. No privacy at all. Thanks for wasting my time js gold.
