My own insurance undervalued my vehicle, they didn't care what I had to say, they didn't care what proof of value I had. Progressive sent me a list of comps that were not comps at all, it was a list of 2wd vehicle ( my car was 4wd ) they didn't care what I said or how I said it. I was frustrated, mentally exhausted and becoming overwhelmed by it all. On a Saturday evening I sent provalue a message, they responded quickly and asked me to send my files over to them and they would look at it on Monday morning, I did and Henry called me around noon on Monday and told me I was right, I deserved more, and he would get it for me. It sounded too good to be true, it wasn't. When it was all said and done, thanks to provalue I ended up with 4k more in my bank account, THIS IS AFTER PAYING PROVALUE'S FEES 4k more, its a huge improvement, it makes a difference. I should have contacted ProValue right away, I wasted weeks thinking Progressive would fight for me.....well Progressive didn't fight for me, Progressive didn't make it right, But PROVALUE DID FIGHT FOR ME Thank you to the ProValue team!

I am older now and no longer wear my watches, diamonds and gold jewelry as much anymore (it literally just sits inside my safe at home ‍. I decided to sell it and started investigating where to go to get an appraisal / to sell some of my pieces. I found "Pacific Jewlery Buyers" in Westgate, CA. I texted the number from google to Pacific Jewelry Buyers and asked if I needed to make and appointment ("mind you it was a week day", not to sure about needing an appointment on the weekend). Paul texted me back and said I wouldn't need an appointment and sent me the hrs of operation for the day. I then texted Paul pictures of the jewelry pieces that I wanted to get appraised and sell, he texted me back and said he was interested. I went to the shop and was pleasantly surprised! Paul was not only friendly but professional and informative. Paul broke things down to a science and educated me on the things that I needed to know about my jewelry (gold/diamonds) and much more. He offered me a fair price to buy my jewelry pieces from me. I left feeling satisfied and informed. I am glad I was fortunate enough to find this place, instead of having to go to multiple places and run around to sell the rest of my pieces. I will be back to bring the rest of my Jewelry "Pacific Jewelry Buyers" as well tell my friends and family! It feels good to build a relationship with someone you can trust in the jewelry industry. From my experience Paul is honest and has integrity and that is a rarity in the jewelry business! What a great experience & what a great guy %
