The owner was very knowledgeable about not only gold but silver and miscellaneous jewelry as well. He carefully evaluated the many items I had collected from my mother's estate and then sorted them into groups depending upon their value. After spending approximately an hour evaluating the items I brought him he determined the value and wrote us a check in an amount that I felt was extremely fair. read more

I recently decided to sell some sterling silver flatware and other items that were languishing in storage, not wanted by relatives. I found M.I. Trading on line. Mr. Tairy responded to voicemail immediately and met me at his office the next day. He was helpful, professional, and forthright. He evaluated everything and made an immediate offer. I was sorry to see my pretty things go but left within the hour with a cheque for a substantial and fair price. read more

I brought these antique 18k sapphire and Old European diamond earrings in with documentation/appraisal. I was offered $400 and told the sapphires may not be real. I later sold them the same day to another reputable jeweler for $2,700. Sellers should shop around. read more

M I Trading - The appraisal card - Gold Buyers Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Very fair price. Same day pay. Friendly and Great service!:) Definitely recommend. The process was simple, easy, and fast.

I recently sold some estate jewelry to M I Trading. They are the top diamond and jewelry buyer in the greater Austin area. The reason M I Trading is number one is because of his expertise in the diamond and gold business. Moran is personable, and so pleasant to work with. I came in a stranger and left a friend. He is very trustworthy. Not one time did I question his ability. I wouldn't use anyone else in Texas. Moran is a successful small business owner who you should support. read more

M I Trading was an absolute pleasure doing business with. Moran took the time to discuss his industry and made me feel as an equal. Negotiations were very transparent and we had no qualms after discussing our specific concerns. I will seek to do business with him in the future. Highly Recommend!!! read more

Although I had nothing to sell this would be the place I would recommend for anyone who has gold, broken or in tact to sell it. Very professional and honest. read more

I had some jewelry to sell, and one of the FB groups I am in recommended that I reach out to MI Trading. I filled out the necessary form with pictures of my pieces and scheduled an appt with Moran. For the first appt, there was some miscommunication, and it did not happen. He had offered to send me to another person, but I declined and rescheduled. Not a big deal. During my appt, my jewelry was assessed and assigned a value. I was a little disappointed in the amount I was offered I will admit. He had educated me on the value and difference in cuts of diamonds, which was appreciated. I decided to sell some pieces and keep some of the other pieces. Ultimately, I walked out with a check and was happy with my decision. Overall, it was a simple, easy deal. I would recommend for anyone who has pieces they no longer wear and want money on the spot. read more

M I Trading is honest and great to work with I would not hesitate to call him for any trading of gold diamonds or any other commodities

We were referred here from another jeweler who spoke very highly of MI Trading. After taking our gold and silver to Moran, the owner, we can easily see why he is well respected by peers. He took careful time to exam each piece, provided a more than fair trade amount and even provided interesting facts about gold trading as he assessed our items. When you arrive, you are escorted into a private, secure office. It was a pleasure doing business with Moran. We will surely return should we need similar services in the future. read more

Moran offers a nice, secure place to transact business. He is fair in pricing, friendly and trustworthy. I would definitely use his services again. read more

I sold grandma's silver flatware, it was a simple transaction and was offered a fair price.

very great service!! i went in today and i came out with a good offer definitely recommend! :)

Moran is the owner of M.I. Trading. This could not have a more comfortable, educational experience. This particular industry is one in which I have been taken advantage of in the past - it's difficult for me to trust. Without knowledge and training, clients have no bearing. Without any understanding, we can't know what we're being told is true. Honesty is hard to come by these days. That having been said, Moran is very transparent, easy going, and very honest. If you have an opportunity or reason to do business with him, it is highly recommended that you do so. He is no pressure. You will learn something while you're with him, and he is fair. He takes the stress out of having to deal with the liquidation of family jewels. Great guy. read more

I've used MI TRADING on a few occasions. I can say that every time there's a personalized experience the moment you walk in the door. He helped me get the most beautiful bracelet for my wife for our anniversary. Thank you so much I will definitely use you in the future. read more

Service attitude is not good, when we walked in they did not greet us and when I noticed the next people walking in they greeted them very warmly! read more

Super friendly and fair. He bought a few pieces from me that I had been hanging on to and decided I was ready to sell. He was recommended to me by a friend who said he gave her the best price out of tons of other guys she took her diamond to around Austin. Glad to know about this place for the future. read more

I am soooo, soooo, late at leaving this review, but better late than never I hope! I had a beautiful diamond from my ex husband. I kept it in a jewelry box for about 4 years or so. One day I realized that made no sense, so I started researching buyers. Out of all the buyers I met with, Moran was by far the most knowledgeable and gave the fairest price. He didn't pressure me at all to sell. It was clear that he was more interested in making sure he provided the knowledge necessary for me to be able to make the most informed decision about selling. He's a stand up guy... 5 star experience! read more

While searching on Yelp for businesses to sell my old 18-karat gold family jewelry, I came across Moran's business, MI Trading, in Austin. I was captured by all the positive reviews and impressed to read how he connected in a unique way with each of his clients. I decided to reach out to him; meeting Moran was a breath of fresh air in this line of business. The common denominators of all the reviews and my personal experience are his business ethics, fair prices, knowledge, and affability charm. It was a pleasure to meet Moran, and I am grateful he took the time to listen to my story and made this experience as smooth as possible for me. read more

I brought some old gold that I didn't like (stuff from the ex) to sell based on my best friends recommendation, she has sold Moran a lot of stuff and praised him to the skies. She wasn't wrong. He's friendly, pleasant, knows his stuff, and gives a fair price. My only sadness is that I don't have a lot more gold just laying around to sell him! I do recommend. He's great. An honest person and a nice guy. read more

Moran made selling my wedding rings an easy and pleasant experience! He is quite knowledgeable, spent ample time looking at my rings and gave me what I feel is an honest assessment of value. While my items weren't as valuable as I'd hoped, I appreciated the explanation Moran gave, which made me comfortable with knowing I was receiving a fair offer. He is very kind and straightforward and it is nice to have appointments set rather than walking into a place and waiting to talk to someone. If ever I need to sell jewelry again, Moran will be the first person I call. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Highly recommend! Very nice and professional and gave me a great price on my ring. Parting ways with an engagement ring is bittersweet but he made the process very seamless and easy. read more

I've known Moran for more than 10 years, and he's a good man. There was no question where to go when it came to unloading some old gold jewelry, knowing I would get the best price. read more

Moran is the man. He's knowledgeable, fair and a straight-shooter. We went to another reputable jeweler and didn't necessarily like his approach nor his feedback as the GIA said otherwise, so we were happy to go with Moran and give him our business in selling our diamond. We definitely appreciate Moran for his time and his appraisal, and we would go back to him in a heartbeat. read more

I give this business 5 stars for honesty. I phoned to enquirer about cashing in some coins. The man who answered the phone told me I could do better by going to a company that specializes in buying precious metals. Thanks for the good advice. I would not hesitate to go here if I'm in the market for jewelry. Trust is a big factor. read more

Excellent price for my old broken gold. And ya'll this is not a jewelry store which is exactly what I needed and was looking for. He is a "real" trader so do not expect a store front. Moran will give you a great price for your items with a smile and not sugarcoat and BS you with unneeded talk. I will go back once I get the rest of my items gathered. Oh, and by the way the building is in the back and the number is hard to see but he is worth visiting. Moran thanks for your time and excellent customer service. read more

Moran was very professional and helpful. I appreciated his office space and excellent security, and he also gave me some great advice relative to some of the pieces I had brought in. I would definitely recommend him, especially if you have precious metals that you do not use or wear. read more

Selling my gold/diamond odds and ends was a pleasant experience with Moran. I called for a same day appointment and he was courteous, professional and efficient. I highly recommend selling through Moran. He gives a no-pressure fair price offer you can feel good about. read more

I was looking to sell some scrap and I saw that M.I. Trading had good reviews. Made an inquiry by email and was given a quick call back. Moran had me come in an hour later. He was very nice and was able to make a quote fairly quickly. He was very professional. It was a great experience and I felt the offer was extremely fair. I've sold gold scrap before and come away from other places feeling negative, but not here. It was totally a positive experience and I will only go here from now on for this sort of thing. read more
