How to Sell
In person
Visit our store at 1654 Kingsway, Vancouver in person and get your gold tested in front of your eyes. We make you an offer on the basis of karat purity of gold and current spot prices. There is no charge or obligation for making an offer and all we need is a valid photo ID issued by the government to pay you on the spot.
By mail
Feel free to send your pieces by mail to:
J&M Coin and Jewellery Ltd.
1654 Kingsway Vancouver BC V5N 2S1
We will go through your pieces and get back to you with an offer. If you don't like our offer we will ship back the goods at our cost.
If you find our evaluation satisfactory we will send you a cheque at no added cost.
To sell jewellery to us you must have valid government photo I.D. (such as a BC driver's license, passport, a BC I.D. card, BC service card, or similar). NO EXCEPTIONS. We typically pay cash but may pay by cheque if it is a large purchase or funds are not on hand. All transactions are logged and instantly reported to the RCMP via the Internet, and then items are held for a period of time dictated by the RCMP. After this mandatory "hold period" the items are melted down to be given new life in new designs.
Do you have some jewellery pieces you never wear? Do you have some old designs that just don't fit your style? Looking to get rid of a ring that's lost its' sentimental value?
As seen in the rest of this website, J&M Coin and Jewellery has an extensive collection of vintage pieces available for sale. Well, we also purchase jewellery of every kind from private sellers and estate sales. We regret this is a service primarily handled in store as our gemologists and trained staff must physically see the items to make an offer -- whether you are selling rings, chains, earrings, loose stones, watches, or pretty much anything.
We'll weigh the gold, silver, or platinum metal and pay a certain amount per gram -- based on the daily market rate of that metal. If there are stones (diamonds, rubies, pearls, etc.) we will make individual offers or give a "package price." There is never any obligation for you to sell -- we merely make you the offer.
Often customers come to us with diamond rings that have been "appraised" for much higher values than we offer. This is because an insurance appraisal is the "maximum cost" -- typically the maximum you may expect to pay at the most expensive jeweller in the area.
Come on in and let us make you an offer. You never know.
