I read the review by Halstead and feel the need to update my review. I want to state that I gave…read more5-stars based on my experience, not my friendship with Ryan. I'm sorry if Halstead had a bad experience, but I can confirm that they have bullion available and on-site. The problem he had appears to be due to the fact that he thought ARCI operated more like a pawn shop. They don't. This is a much more upscale experience. Sometimes, you have to wait for product if the order is large enough. Their inventory changes hourly. They carry LOTS of rare coins that would require traveling the globe to locate. They lock the rates at the time you indicate, so I'm not sure why anybody would need to receive the product any faster than they deliver it. Finally, I want to point out that I made a spreadsheet of all of my purchases historically. ARCI has always charged me the least. For reference, EBay is the most expensive place to buy, so don't do that under any circumstances. I'm available to answer any questions, as I stated before. I like to think of ARCI as the private club version of bullion dealers, yet anybody can join for free. If you want a pawn shop, go to a pawn shop.

They send me e-mail notices when payment is due. This is the best pawn shop ever!!! I'm still shopping here. Every time I go in, the guys are friendly as ready to answer any questions I might have. What I really like is their text alerts. If you have something on lay away, they'll text you to make payment without you loosing it! Today I went in to pay on a layaway and ended up getting more tools on layaway. They have great prices on the tools I need to fill out my tool chests. They remind you via text message to come in and make a small payment. They use modern technology to help their customers. I recommend this shop over any others. It's in Hutto but worth the drive!!

All good things must come to an end…read more Watermark has raised their FFL fees to $40. Effectively, they're saying "please don't buy guns somewhere else and get them sent here - we don't want that business." Lesson learned - I should have checked before I sent my transfer if their price had increased. I get it. They want to sell their own inventory. That makes sense. But the business that will be lost in people who also needed accessories and ammo is likely significant as they decrease traffic into their store: Every time I went in for a transfer o tried to buy something - even if just a bottle of cleaner - to support them. There are too many other options at $25 or less. If you do want to put hands on a gun before you buy and want to buy local, their selection is huge. They just added a room of additional parts and accessories, which also houses their gunsmithing area. Their gunsmithing is still spectacular, especially older or less popular guns, and their cerakoting service is reasonable and really well done. Net net they're a plus to the gun community in a growing part of the Austin area. They're just not the great deal they were before for transfers and the stress of growth is showing, so I'll have fewer reasons to go back.

I saw they were opening up their warehouse as a retail space so today I went to see what they had and I was not disappointed! Beautiful selection of amethyst geodes and other minerals. They have some fossils too! The owner makes jewelry which was currently not out so I can't say much about that but it will be on display soon. I've bought a lot of geodes and minerals in the past and I think his prices are really good. I will definitely go back as I had to leave some behind that I really wanted. He just returned from a show and will have a lot more on display soon so go check them out!
