  Avoiding selling my gold to long jetty pawnbrokers earned me over $5,000.
  
  Firstly, let me say that this store is fantastic and the stock is always clean, quality, and excellent value. I would continue to shop there and would encourage others to shop there. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way this friendly and professional business is run.
  
  The guys who own this store are genuinely very friendly, and took the time with me to test and x-ray my gold cigarette box which I inherited from my holocaust escapee grandparents. I was told by my family the box was solid gold, but always had my suspicions that it was simply gold plated. It had a fake/plastic ruby in the clasp, and I believe someone in the family had removed it and tried to cover their tracks by replacing with a false one. The box had no standard hallmarks, (it had Scandinavian hallmarks, not the usual ones) This is all for background....
  
  Anyway, in 2019 I took it to the antique shop across from long jetty pawnbrokers to a place called gumnut antiques. The woman in there wasn't interested in giving me the time of day, and offered me $20 for.it with much sarcasm, stating that as there were no hallmarks,.she wasn't interested (kind of fair enough I suppose, plus I always dress down and present myself as a person with extremely limited means, as I am not interested or concerned with fashion whatsoever. I left a review on or about this date as I was quite upset at the insulting treatment and $20 offer. Screenshot attached (review is still up on Google)
  
  I then crossed the road to the pawn brokers, having heard excellent things about them, and for good reason, because they are very professional and friendly. They have lots of stock and everything was very well presented.
  
  These guys do actually have the equipment to scratch test and x-ray (?) gold, and I felt so much more welcome than I had across the road. The man took lots of time with me and was extremely patient in scratch testing, weighing, and scanning the box. In fact, he was the one who spotted that the ruby was fake, using his light pulse laser thingy (?) and demonstrated that the laser was accurate by lasering the diamonds in my watch. I was very satisfied with this, as I felt he had done me a very honest service. All in all, I estimate I was in the shop for half an hour, possibly longer, and my experience was wonderful.
  
  They offered me $950 for the box, which was a very nice offer after the $20 from Gumnut, but something told me to just hang onto it, which I did for a further 2 years.
  
  Cut to December 2021. I submitted the box to Chemgold Refinery Pty Ltd through a private jewellers, expecting to receive a valuation approximate or slightly higher than the long jetty pawnbrokers offer 2 years prior of $950.
  
  The valuation returned as 14 carat, 79.14 grams, $6,300 and the refinery purchased and liquidated the gold. Receipts attached.
  
  I'm not entirely sure what the price per ounce in gold was at the time I visited long jetty pawnbrokers in 2019, however, I would be surprised and delighted if within 2 years the price of gold had increased by 600%.
  
  My advice to people who have genuine gold and valuables, is to avoid long jetty pawnbrokers. If you have every day equipment, bikes and electronics and other items, I am sure you will fare much better.
  
  Avoiding long jetty pawnbrokers earned me over $5,000.
  
  Please learn from my (near catastrophic) mistakes, and shop at long jetty pawnbrokers for everyday bargains instead.
  
  Documents attached.
  
  -Receipts from Refinery
  -Facebook Messenger chats with private jewellers (not associated with long jetty pawnbrokers) including photos of the gold box.
  
  I was given a card with a written offer from Long Jetty pawnbrokers, however am unable to find it. I am sure I simply tossed it in the bin that same afternoon.
