I came in with gold and silver items, and I was shocked at the low ball offer from the shop owner…read more For the whole lot, the proprietress, offered 40% off the melt value of the items. One item, a ten ounce silver bar was bought for $240.00 in 2022. She offered only $200.00 for it! I would have made a loss on the item even though silver per ounce sells for nigh $39.00/ounce. I had in total 50 francs and 1 ducat in gold. Using a quote of $3450/ounce of gold and having about .57675 of an ounce would have yielded about $1990.00 in a fair market value outside of listing fees and so on. The whole lot in mkt value was somewhere near $2500.00. The lady offered about $1580.00 for the whole lot. Please avoid this shop at all costs. This person does not want to make a fair profit; she wants to make a killing by taking you for a sucker. I was very angry, but I left w/o making a scene.

I know some people have thought the owner was a bit abrupt, but she really isn't. She's German and though her English is fantastic (she's lived in the US for years and years), she sounds very direct and to the point. Don't confuse cultural expression with rudeness. She's kind, incredibly helpful, and this place is a labor of love for her. I travel a lot, including internationally, and I still think this is one of the best local wool shops I go to. I go back every time I'm in town.

This shop just opened up in Urbana (as of June 2007); it is spawned from another Buy-Sell-Trade…read moreStore in Springfield. It's kind of a hybrid pawn shop / thrift store / collectible shop. They certainly have a lot of stuff here, and I'd suggest you check it out: tools, collectibles, some motorcycles, dolls, guitars, etc. If you want an antique cane, they have them. If you want a compound bow, you can get it for about $50. But speaking of prices, that's where things get a bit odd: some things in the store seem to me to be a bit overpriced. Some are a lot overpriced. And for a collectible shop, not everything seems to be terribly well cared for. On the day I went there, a lot of people were selling their things to the gal behind the desk (not the desk with the young kids running the registers). So you might get a few bucks for your stuff here, if you're not into selling via Craigslist or eBay. UPDATE: this joint closed faster than spit! Forget it ever existed
