Treasure Hunters Roadshow

The 5 star reviews here are written by employees. Not only will they tell you that your Karat gold is plated, or try to convince you that your 18k gold is actually 10k, they will also offer you approximately 1/30th if the gold value. Really. They have a formula, and their opening offer is truly about 1/30th gold spot. Don't get taken by these thieves. They bounce checks, don't pay their taxes (just Google "THR & Associates" or "Ohio Valley Gold & Silver" or "Treasure Hunter's Roadshow@) and every penny if the profits goes to supporting the ridiculous lifestyle that the crook that's the head of the company leads. more

Employees designated as "staff writer"s are really vice-presidents. "Experts" are really fresh out of training. Ads that state "will buy all watercolors and oil paintings", when in fact they have no intention of buying anything that isn't a fairly important work of art. Ads that coax the poor and uneducated to wait for hours clutching a buffalo nickle because the ad in their morning paper showed one, apparently just like theirs, that sold for thousands. Buyers are trained in the art of lying by omission. As in buying a quantity of platinum for the price of silver because the elderly customer didn't know the difference. I overheard this as two THR buyers exchanged a jubulant "high-five". Treasure Hunter's Roadshow walks a very fine line between decency and deception. They are the patron saints of buyer (in this case, seller) beware. I understand that most advertising has a shade of dishonest exaggeration. And I understand that a business has a right to make a profit. Still..................there is a lot going on behind the smiling faces. more

Rip off artist. A Fuller calculator was purchased from women on the show for $85. The last one I saw sell on ebay went for $1500. Whatch the show, take any item purchased by treaure hunters, then check the completed auctions on ebay. These items usually go for at least 50% more on ebay. more

My wife and I went to Treasure Hunters Roadshow with 37 grams of solid gold jewelry and was told, at first, that it was gold plated. After testing, they offered us $80.00 for our jewelry. The gold price for that day would place a value of approximately $1,750.00 for our gold. I hope NO ONE else gets taken advantage by these crooks! They also insisted that jewelry is never made of 24kt.; which is untrue! more

This company is not in the appraisal business as they would lead you to believe. They want to buy your gold and collectible coins, and they want to get it as cheaply as possible. They will first offer an insanely lowball price (they have a formula) and then will increase their offer if you hesitate or will not sell. Then, they sell your items on eBay for an insane profit. Avoid. You can do better elsewhere. more

I went to the Roadshow and sold some of my old jewelry from my ex. The pawn shop only offered me $114, but I ended up getting $451 with them. Definitely make sure you are getting the best price. more
