We called here to see if we could have a brass bell engraved. They were confident in their answer…read morein being able to engrave it so we dropped the bell off with them. We called to check on the bell and first were told the girl who could work on it didn't come in until 10 one morning and they would call us with an update. I'm sure there was some confusion with myself calling and my husband being the person they called back however, after we called to check again on the bell, we were told that they engraved it, didn't like how it came out, buffed it, and would be re-engraving it. Once again, when we called to check on it, we were told that the girl that did engraving didn't work on Mondays. Then, next thing we know, they are telling us they can no longer engrave it. I understand that unpredictable situations occur and perhaps my perception of the experience is a bit different, but we were told they could do something and then after apparently doing work, could no longer perform the service requested. It just felt a bit off... everyone was friendly when we would call so nothing against the employees, just ended up being a situation that set us back on this project (a gift) a few weeks longer than we would have liked and just seemed like we were being given false information.

I took my four diamond rings to get appraised. For insurance purposes due to a recent fire we had…read more Knowing that Diamonds only appreciate as well as gold and platinum are high right now. When the appraisals came back I had to laugh on how ridiculous the appraisals were. They were less than half of what was paid when purchased and with the the authenticity paperwork showing it was a numbered Hearts on fire cut, perfect cut, perfect clarity. Looking at the paperwork for the rings all four papers were exactly the same wording with the appraisal price typed in. The rings were four completely different rings. There was no description of any of the rings beside size. I got them reappraised by two other places after, with them coming out higher than purchased price, and the two other places matched each other. My point.... Don't spend the money to appraise them there and don't believe them especially if you want to sell them to them!

I had chosen to pick through and purchase some coins in their "world silver coin" box, but I (after purchasing a large number) have disappointingly found a few coins that aren't silver at all - but copper nickel. Their pricing on this box was also very loose with the cashier taking a "rough mental average" of the purity of the coins and adding a "small" premium over spot. While I should've known better to pick only coins I'm familiar with and trusting this undisclosed "small premium", they shouldn't have had any non-silver coinage in the silver coinage bin. I'm sure it would be a headache, but separating the world coins based on purity and not a "rough average" would provide a MUCH better experience for the customer.

I brought in two very large totes of assorted coins that I wanted appraised and ultimately sold…read more Sullivan, the new owner now based out of Freeport, Maine, was extremely helpful. He told me it would take approximately seven days to appraise all of my coins but he got it done in half the time. Sullivan took the time to fully explain the history of the business and the process by which they appraise coins and stamps. Not only did I learn a lot from him I also got paid a very fair price for my coins. I highly recommend that you take your stamps, coins or anything that is collectable to Sullivan at MA Storck.

I've been connected with North Country Fair since its earliest days, initially as an onsite jeweler…read moreand in later years as a shopper. I have also sold antique and vintage gold jewelry to the shop, as I know I will always get the fairest price from NCF founder Brian Smith. And if he is not interested in purchasing a particular piece he will always tell me what it's worth should I choose to sell it online or elsewhere. No store lasts 56 years without good reason - and, for me, Brian's rock-solid integrity and commitment to ethical business practices are that reason. I highly recommend visiting this iconic North Conway shop.
