We have been to Uncle Sam's three, maybe four, times and have purchased jewelry and have done trades for jewelry, I was disappointed at some of the things they didn't take but they were going by weight and not necessarily the item. Emotional attachments to stuff do not factor in a pawn shop. If you go, ask if Herbie is working. He knows his stuff...he was straightforward and fair,,,and patient. I thought the prices were affordable and the selection is mindboggling. They are black and white on the haggling issue...little wigle room but they know what sells. The last piece of jewelry I got there turned out to be a REAL gem...a ring with a flawless diamond and a Jabel trademark.
