I stopped in with my wedding ring to see what they'd give me for it. The young lady who assisted me…read morewas so cordial and informative. It's $185 to get a professional appraisal. I just wanted to sell my ring for scrap, which is something they can do on the spot (for free). I was informed that they only care about the metal, not the stones and gems in a ring. Their cash offer was too low for me but they said if I would rather have store credit, they'd double the offer. I really appreciated how pleasant my experience was even if I didn't end up doing business with them.

I rarely write reviews but people need to be warned. I…read morerecently took a 925 silver chain in along with some others curious about what I'd be offered. The chain weighed 95g which was over $250 scrap value (266 today) and he told me he could only give me 30% of spot value. Then proceeded to offer me $35. First of all, 30% of spot is criminal. That alone shocked me. But the $35 he offered was only 14% of scrap value! This is beyond sleazy business practice. Every single online metal scrapper that I checked offered 4 to 5x that offer. He also wanted $30 to test it. It's sad to see someone part of such a small community, trying to rip off people that don't know any better. Good thing I know better, but I'm sure many don't. Anyways, hold onto your silver. The world is seeing a huge supply shock right now. If you really need to sell, check other sources.

I was going to let this one go but then a friend had a worse experience…read more About 4 months ago I came to Adams for a watch battery. I have been buying/selling/dealing in watches since 1999. I have been a collector since 1992. I had a vintage Casio watch that I was going to sell and it needed a battery. I explained to the owner that I needed a battery and he put one in quickly without telling me the price. He immediately told me to set the time myself. He then says $20.00! Wow! really? I have never paid over $8.00 in my life and he was too lazy to set the time. I guess he figured the more you charge and the less you do the more you make! GREED! The experience bothered me a lot and I tried to let it go as I hate leaving negative feedback. Fast forward to a few days ago. My friend is moving away and I wanted to visit him one last time. He had an interesting watch and I commented on it. He then told me it needed a battery today and when he said that; he came off annoyed. Without him saying anything else, I said you went to that place on China Lake and he charged you $20.00! He said No! $25.00! He told me he walked in and asked how much is a battery? He wanted the battery so he could do it himself. The owner grabbed the watch and quickly put one in. Then (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?) he says you can set the time yourself, go on youtube! My friend said, "No, you set the time" and he did. Was the extra $5.00 because my friend asked to buy the battery and not the installation? I explained to my friend that the same thing happened to me. I said I am going to leave him a negative feedback now that there is a pattern. My friend said to mention his story. Come on! Don't treat people like this! Making money is one thing. Laziness and greed is another. I was the only one in the store when I visited Adams, I am not sure about my friend. I doubt it was packed.

I try to support local businesses, especially during the holidays, but they all but chased my kids and I out of this store when we were shopping. They were constantly correcting my children for handling items that they were looking at. They were the customers, not me, I was just a wallet. If someone is figuring out whether or not they want to buy something it should be expected that they are going to pick it up. I was there as the parent and completely capable of correcting my children when they are touching something they can't afford to break. I probably won't come back after this. I could likely find most of these items on-line anyways. I was extremely close to just walking out without buying the items we picked out because I was so put off by the shopkeepers behavior, but my kids had invested too much time picking items out and would have been upset if we left without them. Never again.
