Default Jewelry Buyer in The Villages - Experiences? Cautions?

There was a full page ad in Sunday's Daily Sun: "Buying $Paying Instant Cash$. The name is Ossie - a Florida estate buyer. He comes to your home or bank.

Aside from knowing the value of the items you might want to sell, does anyone have any experiences with this business?

Went to see him last time he was in town at the Waterfront Inn. Brought some coins and jewelry for him to look at and walked out with over $1000! We were pleased! You'd be surprised what you can get for even 10k gold items. Have him take a look. As long as its items you don't mind parting with, get the cash! :bigthumbsup:

You're right. He came over this afternoon...bought some jewelry that wasn't worn in 20 years and never would be...over $1,000 in exchange. There was no other way we could sell the stuff other than eBay and probably for less money and then subject to all the eBay scams.

Ossie's home area is in Allentown, PA. He's had a store there for years. Didn't realized he travels until I saw his add down here. I'd trust him.
