This is a great time to sell your diamondsto get top dollar. Supple and demand is the reason why. In another couple months we will be in the summer doldrums and things will get slow.

GOLD PRICES

Gold is taking a pause and seems to me that is building a nice base for the next leg up. Still a great time to sell gold as we are not far the the 1900ish highs from last year. As long as the federal government keeps printing money to try and prop up a weak economy, I see no reason for gold not to break through 1900 and set new highs later this year. We are in a Presidential election year so a lot can change depending on who wins the election………

USED ROLEX WATCHES

The market for used watches is firming up some but it is still a buyers market. There are still more sellers than buyers as is the case in most luzury items. The sport watches such as the Daytona, Submariner, yachtmaster and GMT are still the most desirable of the Rolex. Bigger is better is the case of the ladies Rolex. Women are defenitly trending to a mans size watch and with our aging baby boomers, I see no reason for that to change, as none of our eyes are getting any better as we age………….

With the dollar falling everyday and commodity prices sky rocketing, its just a matter of time before the prices of diamond go up. I think that we will see a sharp increase in the cost of fine stones. The prices of 1.5ct and bigger bring premium’s and its getting harder to find well made stones. The good news is there are no shortage of folks selling their jewelry do to hard times and divorce. The deals are out there you just have to search in your area for the guy who buys pre-owned treasures. Spring is here and young couples are falling in love. The diamond selling season is here……………..

Pawning jewelry

Pawning or selling your jewelry to a pawn broker can be difficult. It may be the first time you’ve sold jewelry. You need to find out who you should sell or pawn your jewelry to in Orlando. Pawn shops in will extend a loan or purchase your jewelry based on the estimated value of the item, whereas jewelry buyers will only purchase your item outright. I have been through the jewelry selling process many times with our clients, it can be emotional and confusing.

Go check out some local pawn shops in Orlando. Don’t be surprised at the neighborhoods or the experience, pawn shops are not always in the most secure locations. Once you get there, you may be talking to someone in a cage. Get some quotes and then stop by and see me at Jbjewelersorlando.com.

You can send me an email of what you have or give me a call, better yet please stop by the store in Winter Park. Make sure you check references and reputation before you leave your item with a pawnshop!!!!

Buying Jewelry from the public

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 20:17:12 +0000

In these trying economic times, used jewelryis coming out of the woodwork. People that need to sell thier stuff best be prepared for a shock when they go to sell it. Most jewelry store mark up there jewelry about 200% at least. Thats why when you take it back to the store you bought it from to sell it back you get, “we are sorry but we don’t buy jewelry, we only take it in trade towards another purchase” Of course, because if they had to buy it back you would be lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar back. How would that look Like you paid way to much when you bought it. Moral of the story, stay away from big stores with lots of overhead. You are paying for it!!!!

Pawnshops

Pawnshopshave come a long way from the dark ages when they where in bad neighborhoods and had questionable characters that owned them. Getting a short term loan on your jewelry items can be a lifesaver for many folks. Selling your jewelry is a good idea if its going to be 6 months or more before you get right with your finances. But if you ever want to replace your jewelry or watches down the road, it could be more costly than if you took a loan out and got them back with the interest charges added………….

Pawn or Sell ?????

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:17:56 +0000

I get asked this question at least a couple times a week. The most important factor are, do you have a sentimental attachment to it? Is it something that can be replaced down the road?? How long will it take me to have the funds to get redeem it???

If you item was passed down from someone in your family, then pawn it and make sure you set aside some money each week so you can pay it off. If you bought a Rolex watch say for 5000 and you need money now, sit down and try to guesstimate how long it will take you to get it back. If its more than a couple months, then you might want to sell it and buy one again down the road when you can afford it. The interest can add up quickly and end up costing you more in the long run.
