Went to sell an old gold ring. 1st went to Bellevue Rare Coins, offered $70. Owed it to myself to check others, so I stopped at Porcello's. Will? examined the ring, claimed it was 14 carat as he tossed it on to the scale. Within an instant he offers $40 to which I chuckled, thanked him for the confirmation. I told him I'm back to Bellevue Rare Coins. He asked how much they offered. I answered. He scoffed "They're crazy!". His demeanor was that of a used car salesman - clearly looking to rip me off. Wouldn't be able to trust them with anything as a result - buying or selling.
