My Mother had a silver ring she didn't wear and wanted to see how much these jokers advertising they bought valuables would pay her for it. She went to the hotel hall where they were set up and waited a half an hour to be seen. When they looked at her ring, they offered her $18 dollar for it.

We then went to a local jewelry store where they offered to buy gold, silver and old coins and they paid her $47 dollars for the same ring.

I say all of these people who travel around the country advertising to buy stuff is just looking to rip as many people off as possible.....

Couldn't agree more. Would almost like to see some of these people cold and play stupid to what I have and see what the offer actually is. I fully expect it would be attempted highway robbery.
Not referring to anyone in particular, just these traveling roadshows generally.
