I first contacted Leslie via email to ask questions around her services. I had various pieces of…read morejewelry from my grandmother's estate and no idea if anything had any real value. Prior to contacting Leslie, I had great angst of this whole appraisal/sale of items process. I didn't want to feel foolish or be taken advantage of in any way. I had heard how you do not always get the true value of items if you go to a jeweler who then purchases these items. Leslie was very quick to reply to my email and honest around her fees. We scheduled an appt. and I brought my various items to her office for the consultation appt. During our appt, Leslie was very respectful of all of the pieces. She tests items and uses her microscope with you in the room. I felt like she was very thorough, and any questionable items, she agreed to test further. She was always respectful- even when items were not authetic gems or gold. The items we did agree she would liquidate, she logged for insurance and then gave them approximate values. Once the items were sold, Leslie promptly called me to inform me of the amount of the sale. There were a few pieces of jewelry I had left with her for appraisal-- well, as it turns out, they really weren"t anything requiring insurance, and she was very honest about not going through an entire appraisal process as this would have cost me money. I felt she was very, very honest and I appreciated her placing my needs first. I would highly recommend Leslie George of NE Gem lab.

This was our second experience with Gabriel's Estate Sales was just before the Holidays. The first…read moreone was just okay. Employees ensure that you know that they are close and around. I bought one piece of furniture and promised myself not to go out my the way to go their sales. Today, my relatives asked me to bring them to the sale in Dover. We observed a bunch of people coming down the driveway empty handed as we were going up the driveway. Prices were skyrocteting on their last day and 1.30 hours before closing. For example, a microwave marked $50, final price: 40.00 firm. Other items would be slightly discounted depending on how many things you bought. We ended up leaving empty handed too. The major reason was customer service. Staff was irritable, followed you all over and I was scolded for not knowing that a set of queen sheets would not be mine unless I bought bedspread, pillow covers, etc. Where was that explicit? The woman said "excuse me! you need to buy everything or nothing" No, because the sheets were okay, the rest was ugly!. Your sales could be better, have less merchandise left over if you make people feel welcomed to your sales, be reasonable with your "used" merchandise for sale as other Estate Sales owners do. I am not planning on wasting my time going to your sales unless I hear that there is significan improvement, a comfort level and welcoming environment for me to do business with you. Thanks

He has a lot of training and certifications, has served as an expert witness in property valuations in federal court so his experience was particularly helpful to me as the buyer, trying to understand and counter the deficiencies in the seller's appraisal report. For example, Rusty saved me thousands off the price and my future condo fees by discovering the sq ft of living space was off by more than 200 sq ft - as advertised and listed in the condo docs - a huge savings for a 1050 sq ft condo! His market insight was also grounding when it came to understanding the true value of various aspects of my potential purchase in a hot north shore MA market. I feel much more informed about my purchase and the 25 page report complete with photos of what is being described in the text stood up well at the negotiating table with the seller. The report has beyond helpful to us as first time buyers. I would have gladly paid 3x for Rusty's insights and report. I would use him again and have already recommended him to friends and colleagues.
