Welp it wasn't steel and it was white gold and now out of luck because of her mistake. Blamed it on me and gas-lit me for it. Really unprofessional and wouldn't ever do business again. Stay away and just sell the watch to a jeweler store instead. Have the blackbox video of it happening and will be posting it on social media for everyone to see since "it is my problem now".

After months of emails and sharing with Ms. Baggenstoss all of my existing documents regarding my…read morecollection she unceremoniously emailed me that she needed to "resign from your assignment due to a time crunch currently; apologies for that." Advice to Ms. Baggenstoss- If you don't have time to take on new clients then don't take it them on waste months of time and then drop them 4 days before the work was scheduled to be completed. It's unprofessional, it's a waste of my time and it's completely avoidable. Advice to readers- Be warned, you may spend months only to get nowhere and need to start again. Response: If Ms. Bagenstoss had been remotely apologetic in her cancellation email ( or made any previous mention of health issues or time constraints) I wouldn't have posted negative reviews. Indeed when I emailed her my response to the abrupt cancellation (essentially this review with a mention that I would leave negative reviews) her response in full was "Thank you!". Taking care of yourself and treating other people's time and energy respectfully are not mutually exclusive.

I know 28 of them equal an ounce. I did have an old WW scale and figured I might have 2 ounces. A 55 year old ladies watch, a couple of small gold necklaces and 6 gold dental crowns. Not all of it was gold, jewelry from my mom. Went in and I swear 15 min later it was tested, weighed and I walked out with a check that could pay for a cruise. Lovely people, patient, answered all my questions. AND FUN!!!

My family needed help with some jewelry we inherited and found John through Yelp. We called him…read morefirst to learn about how he works and immediately felt like he was the right resource for us. We also liked that we didn't have to park and carry a box of potentially valuable jewelry downtown--the trip to Lake Oswego was worth it for that reason alone. He was terrific! We met him as a group and used his "triage" service, and he swiftly went through a multi-generational jewelry collection and tested and separated pieces that had significant potential value or simply contained gold that could be melted down. As he was going through everything we brought, he educated us about gemstones, how the jewelry and auction industry works, how to maximize value when selling and his connections/resources for selling items and more--he was a wealth of information. It was obvious that he was a total professional who's been doing this for a long time. Plus, he was a really nice guy! He also took care of getting the gold pieces we didn't plan to auction or sell melted down and gave us a very favorable commission rate compared to what we would've gotten from a jewelry store or other company that liquidates gold. We had a check in less than a week after seeing him. Highly recommend him!

Given the age of the truck, there were no comparisons on car lots as the insurance company requested. Nico totally took care of all the legal stuff. He knows multiple insurance claim adjusters. He texted me this morning that he got $15,000 for the truck but said he would try to get more! End of the day, ended up with a payout of $17,206.50. Of course State Farm took deductible, $400 for their appraiser and storage fees! Nico's fee was a flat $550, not a percentage of the value! He told me if he didn't get more than the proposed insurance payout, I would get the fee back!!! very pleased customer!!

I wasn't sure when you first came to see D.'s house, stuffed to the gills, with stuff, that you would take me as a client. You did and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I know D. being a bit of hoarder who also collected a lot of really nice things, made preparing his house much harder. I still can't believe it was eleven (800) Got-Junk trucks that were filled with junk. Thank you for overseeing that process and giving me peace of mind that everything was in good hands. Not living in Portland, I really relied on your good judgement and trusted you to get the house ready for sale. Anyone who hires you is getting a professional and someone with a big heart. You can't deal with loved ones who have passed away and show kindness and compassion to the friends and family who are dealing with the many details that comes with someone's passing. Thank you helping me settle D.'s estate.
