Valley Goldmine

Mary met with me the same day I called. She was professional, punctual and easy to work with. She gave me a fair price and lots of good information about the process. I will use her in the future and recommend her to anyone seeking an honest fair price and top notch experience.

I feel as if these people are the Hank Hill’s of gold buying and gold accessories. If you don’t know what that means, let’s just say that they run a very honest business. I set up an appointment and they called me to confirm, as well as sent me a text to remind me of my appointment. On the phone they were very pleasant. Once I got there, I was promptly seen and Mary went over everything I had brought to her. While doing so, she told me about everything she was doing while she was doing it. The weighing and testing was all done in front of me. I was actually surprised that the quote she gave me was similar to what I had already figured the value of the gold was going to be.
She also gave me the web address to a recognized site where I could check on the value of the gold since I was not selling that day. She told me to check every day, and when the value went up I could come back to sell and get more money! Who does that? Overall, the appointment took about 15 minutes and was extremely informative. I would definitely return here when I need to get rid of some old pieces. They give you the tools to make an informed decision so you will hopefully return, instead of hassling you.

I’m extremely late with this review, but I couldn’t remember my password and the app hates me.
Mary was extremely courteous and flexible. She met me at their office at a moment’s notice and we able to conduct business very efficiently and comfortably. There was a slight dilemma with a hollow link gold chain that was 14K but it wasn’t testing properly at first. Mary remained professional and personable as we worked through the testing. She offered a fair price for all my unwanted pieces. I would definitely recommend them as well as bring my business back to them.

I LOVE VALLEY GOLDMINE!!! Go see Michael. Fair pricing and excellent service. I have been going to Michael for 5 years and he doesn’t B.S. he just tries to give you the best price.

I was looking to sell some old family jewelry I’ve had since I was a kid. I went to one other place and Valley Goldmine offered me $ 100 more! I called Mary and she was able to meet me the next day at a location close by me. She went through piece by piece and showed me her process so I knew exactly what I had. I was intimated to sell my jewelry since I’d never done it before and you’re always afraid you’ll find someone dishonest, but my experience with Valley Goldmine couldn’t have been better!

Legit place. For years, I used to sell all my precious metals to Don Demarest at the Antique Centre in Scottsdale, but the shop closed down a couple of years ago and I had to locate another vendor. After doing a bit of research, I contacted Valley Goldmine since they had the best reputation among all the gold buyers I looked into locally. They are by appointment only, but I managed to get an appointment the same day I called and walked out with a check for a few hundred bucks. Valley Goldmine is up front about how much they pay, percentage wise. They payout better than most places locally and to get more you’d probably have to mail your gold to one of the online dealers. Who really wants to do that? I had a good experience with them and would recommend them as an honest dealer.

Went to Valley Gold Mine with some pieces left to me in an estate, after reading other reviews that recommended them as the best. I went in without an appointment, not knowing any better, but the manager, Michael, rushed back to meet with me anyway. He took the time to explain what he was doing, and I walked away with a check for an amount that was fair– more than I expected actually. It was a good experience — I’d go to them again without hesitation and would recommend them to others.

Very friendly people. I dealt with both Michael and Mary in two separate occasions and they were very nice and professional. They gave me good money for my jewelry.

I had some old 14kt and 10kt yellow gold items laying around. I took them to see how much I could get. I received a check for about $ 250, not a bad price. It was so easy, they were very helpful, and honest. I will definitely use them again. No hassle and very honest! I was in and out in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Call Valley Goldmine first!!!

I had a VERY positive experience with Mary and Valley Goldmine. I had some old gold jewelry left over from my big hair days in the 80’s I was looking to sell. I did my research and checked out about a dozen gold buyers in the east valley. Valley Goldmine blew their competitors away. First, Mary returned my initial email with a friendly phone call. We set up an appointment to meet at their Chandler location the next day. I am always skeptical so I brought a few selected items (I used the same items to get quotes from 3 other dealers). Mary was pleasant, honest, and very knowledgeable. Her quote to me for my few items was about $ 150 more than the other sellers I had met with. She cut me a check right on the spot. I deposited that day and the funds were available the next morning. I had such a great experience I have used Valley Goldmine twice more. I highly recommend Mary and Valley Goldmine! I will definitely use them again!

Had a great experience. Very professional and honest, so unlike many of the other gold buyers in Phoenix. I will be sending all of my friends to Valley Goldmine.

Had some old gold jewelery laying around and thought I’d sell it. After doing some research I decided to use Valley Goldmine and I couldn’t be happier! I worked with Tim and he was very professional and I got top dollar for the jewelery.
I highly recommend Valley Goldmine! They are a company that treats you right.

Valley Goldmine has done two fundraisers at my school, and that I do appreciate. Personally, I had one great experience with them and one unpleasant. For my first experience, I brought them my husband’s ring from his first marriage. I very quickly got a fair price and was written a check right then and there.
The second time they came into school, they had only one primary staff member there (which was probably appropriate since the attendance was far less than the first fundraiser), but as it turned out, I would have appreciated a second pair of eyes. This time, I brought in a gold and silver bowl that had been a gift from a Turkish boyfriend years ago. The guy seemed less than interested, and quickly dismissed me with «there’s no stamp.» That’s funny, because when I took it back to my desk, I saw a stamp– in the middle of the bowl. I guess he didn’t want my business, or maybe it was going to be too much of a hassle to figure out the weight and pricing for an unusual item like a gold and silver bowl, even though I was his only «customer» at the time. I sure wasn’t interested in going back and arguing with him about it, given his demeanor.
I know this business has been rated the best in the Valley, but I hestitate to use them again. And I have no clue where to take my bowl now.

Tim & Ben from Valley Goldmine have done two gold parties for me at the salon. One in the fall of last year and one the year before. Both times we had an absolute blast.
I’m not great in large crowds and each time they were the perfect hosts. They managed to get everyone processed and paid in an orderly fashion. All of the guests were thrilled with the money they made on their gold. Thrilled! Me too!
Some of the guests had stones that needed to be removed from settings. Often times it can’t be done on site so Tim & Ben take the items, remove the stones and send them back to the clients. Never a single hitch. Everyone got their stones back in a timely manner, safe and sound.
These guys work their butts off, they’re on time — come prepared and are so down to earth.
The first time they came out I was half expecting some smarmy «WE BUY GOLD!» guys. Not so. very cool and personable.
A few of my clients have even gone directly to their offices for private appointments. Everyone I’ve sent has been more than satisfied.
Bonus– They did a party for Christina P. who attended my last party. Because she was a guest of my party, they sent me a check — — totally unexpected. I didn’t even know they did that.
I wouldn’t even consider using anyone else!

Just hosted a gold party with these folks after attending one hosted by Unilocaler De Anna L. I have to say, it was a little tough to find people who still had gold — so many have had their homes burglarized :(But, it was great for those who had gold to sell! My guests made money, I made money and De Anna even made money! It was a great way to rustle up some cash for the holidays.
They buy all types of gold ~ white, yellow, and tri-​colored. That can be unused or broken jewelry, coins, or even dental gold (though that is gross!). They also buy platinum and silver that is marked «sterling» or «.925». Jewelers will remove and return any stones that your guests may want to keep. And, you get them back along with your check right there on the spot!
Hosting a party was really easy. I just called and picked a date. There was no back and forth or negotiating. They made the date work. I was sent an email to use as an invitation if I wanted (I used facebook).
The buyer needs table space with good lighting and a nearby electrical outlet. They also raffle off cash prizes to those that sell gold at your party, and your guests can come in at any time while they are there so you can do an «open house» format.
Unfortunately, something happened (hopefully nothing tragic) and the guy who was supposed to do my party could not be reached. Janet, the woman who schedules the parties, was so responsive — calling me to check if he had arrived yet and arranging for a coworker to pick up the party. He was here in no time and was very friendly, polite and professional.
Channel 15 Investigative Team compared gold buyers in the Valley and Valley Goldmine came out FAR ahead of the «competition» with the best prices!
I would totally recommend hosting a party if you know anyone who still has gold!
