I wanted to buy some gold bullion, so I searched online for local gold dealer in Raleigh. The first link that came out was this jeweler with top reviews.
I called the store number to get some basic information like spot over price, etc; the person responded that they couldn't give any information over the phone, and that I needed to come to their store.
Today I drove to their store in 10251 Little Briar Creek Ln, Raleigh, NC. The front of the store had sign that read that they buy and sell gold coin/bullion.
I door was locked, and subsequently sales lady opened the door. I inquired that I was there to get information about buying Gold bullion. I don't know what was the reason, but I had to repeat that three time that I was there to buy gold bullion; she kept repeating that she can't give information unless I have gold with me!!!
I politely told the lady that I called their number and was told to come to the store to get my questions answered. after few minutes I was able to establish the reason WHY I WAS THERE to her. Then she said they don't sell 24 carat gold bullion. I felt really irritated with the whole response. The sign outside said that they sell gold bullion. I asked again to make it clear, and she said they sell gold up to 22 Carat !!!!
I just wasted time and gas driving to this POS jeweler. I really have DOUBT about their TOP REVIEWS now.
Friends don't waste your time with this store. It seems like they are very eager to buy your gold at their price, but not sell bullion at fair market price.
