Default Most hotel buyers are scammers
My husband went there on Saturday. Unless you know what your stuff is worth you will get taken big time! He had a 14k gold watch to sell and knew it's value. The buyer at the hotel offered him 125.00 and my husband knew it was worth 300.00. So my husband told him we got other offers and one of them was 225.00. The buyer asked why we didn't take 225?? My husband says because I need 250.00 for it and the buyer said I'll give you 250.00. So, if we had no idea what our watch was worth we would have settled for 125. That's half of what we should have gotten for it. Do your homework!
