I came to Keith on a recommendation from a family friend and I'm so glad I chose him over anyone else. Keith really knows his stuff, and above all else he is fair in his offers. He is friendly as well and takes time to thoroughly explain everything to his clients. He is also incredibly honest which was hard for me to find in estate buyers. He told me what to sell on eBay and helped me maximize my profit. He also told me to keep sentimental things. I highly recommend working with A&R Estate Buyers for any estate sales. I don't write reviews often, but Keith really deserves more than he has.

I'm beyond impressed and extremely happy. Before buying, I emailed the shop for measurements, and they responded within hours. My local shops don't even provide that level of customer service.

(Since it's my first purchase, I had my local shop test the gold.) The packaging was secured like Fort Knox. They also included a free jewelry polishing cloth and really nice bracelet case. Needless to say, I'll definitely buy from Chicago Pawners & Jewelers in the future and invite all my West Coast friends to do the same. See the attached pictures.

I was pretty picky in my wedding band and Calvin walked me through various options, what the durability and wear would look like and since I was looking for yellow diamonds, he helped me select a band where the yellow hue would be vibrant.

I walked in there a couple of years back b/c I conveniently work near there and I purchased some gold and silver. The 2nd time I walked in, one of the guys I usually see demanded to know my first and last name. I did not have an issue with this since I am not hiding and I figured he already knew my name. Before the purchase could be completed, he took out a pen and paper and demanded to know the exact spelling...this was strange. He also requested an ID to photocopy for a "money laundering" check. I told him that was ridiculous as I wasn't selling anything and I was buying retail products they were selling with cash. Eventually after threatening to walk out, we made the sale all while this guy was jotting down more on his pad. I have a colleague who is an avid coin collector (has coins from ancient Greece to modern day US Mint) and I had been meaning to ask him if he goes to this place but never got around to it as I purchased there a couple of times more times without incident and I felt I was getting the usual customer treatment. The final time I went in there, I didn't have time to go to the bank so I had to use a credit card. This chubby younger guy behind the counter asked to see me id. I gave it this time b/c I figured he just wanted to see if my name matched the credit card...fair.. no one likes credit card fraud. But then he started writing down all the information. When I asked him why he was doing this, he said "money laundering." I again told him I was not selling anything and was a retail customer buying THEIR merchandise off the shelf just as I do at Walmart and Costco but they don't accuse me of money laundering!! We got into a big argument until I finally left as he told me he needed to put my information in data base in order for me to buy there. When I finally got around to asking my colleague about that place, he went hysterical and said "DON'T GO THERE! THOSE GUYS ARE CROOKS!" He told me they trick ppl into giving their info for "money laundering" and sell it to data brokers and ppl search sites. He also said the community knows it as an IRS roach motel. Almost aanyone who buys there past a quantity and is foolish enough to give there information, gets an instant audit. Obviously with selling there are rules. Like a pawn shop, they need your info in case the items you sold are stolen. BUT DON'T BE SO SPITEFUL TOWARDS YOUR CUSTOMERS that you lie to them to make more money off of them by tricking them into giving you there personal information! Lastly, my friend told me if you are a coin collector and want to buy coins at a good price, just go to ebay.
