The owner was very knowledgeable about not only gold but silver and miscellaneous jewelry as well. He carefully evaluated the many items I had collected from my mother's estate and then sorted them into groups depending upon their value. After spending approximately an hour evaluating the items I brought him he determined the value and wrote us a check in an amount that I felt was extremely fair.

I’ve taken rings to Moran on two separate occasions and both times I was not disappointed. Last year, I had a family heirloom ring that I was hoping to sell. I brought in and after close examination he purchased it on the spot for a price that was more than fair.
Then last week, I brought in a 14k ring that turned out to be cubic zirconia. I wouldn’t have wasted his time if I’d known that it wasn’t real. He was very kind about it and offered to buy the gold, which proved to be well worth the trip.
He's extremely knowledgeable and efficient. It is not a long and tedious process.
Almost as important, he is a super nice guy, which made for a very pleasant experience each time.
Moran is honest and trustworthy and I highly recommend him if you need to sell any diamond jewelry.

I did not expect this to be such a fun and educational experience! I came in to sell a ring for a recently divorced friend who didn't want to go through anymore negative emotions about the ordeal so I had no emotional attachment to this ring. I had a great time speaking with Moran. He broke down the ins and out of diamonds and how they work and how jewelry is evaluated and what value truly means. He was transparent about everything, extremely fair, funny, personable, and just an all around cool person. I had such a good time I'm gonna ask my other friends if they have any jewelry they need sold just so I can have another chance to hang out haha. If you just got divorced and are bummed out about it still then you should hurry in because you're gonna be put in a better mood. Seriously though don't even waste your time anywhere else this business has got everything going right.

I had a poor experience trying to sell my jewelry elsewhere. I first returned to the place where I originally purchased it, but they only offered trade-ins. I then went to a pawn shop and felt I was significantly low-balled. After searching online, I found M.I. Trading, and the experience was completely different.
The conversation with M.I. Trading was smooth from the start. The gentleman I spoke with was kind, professional, and even allowed me to come in earlier than my scheduled appointment. When I arrived, the wait time was less than 10 minutes. Communication was clear, straightforward, and honest, which immediately built trust.
The service was fast, friendly, and hassle-free. I had no issues or concerns at all. I highly recommend M.I. Trading to anyone looking to sell jewelry. I had a great experience and would absolutely return.

So I have been doing business with Moran for a little bit and this is my second deal with him . Prior to meeting him I had spoken to several other buyers and I can’t say they were horrible or unfair , but I can say Moran stood out with knowlege, transparency and pricing . He is welcoming and educating when it comes to your items. If this is a one time dealing or several I would highly recommend Moran for all your sales , I shopped around and I feel you will get your top dollar and REAL information on what you have . Call him you won’t regret it .

I recently sold a ring here after getting quotes from 5 different places around Austin, and this was by far the best experience. Not only did I get a great price, but the entire process was smooth and pressure-free. He never rushed me to make a decision, and his customer service was great!
The ring had some emotional weight, and he made me feel normal about the whole process and like it was just another step forward.
I highly recommend working with him.

I recently sold some estate jewelry to M I Trading. They are the top diamond and jewelry buyer in the greater Austin area. The reason M I Trading is number one is because of his expertise in the diamond and gold business. Moran is personable, and so pleasant to work with. I came in a stranger and left a friend. He is very trustworthy. Not one time did I question his ability.
I wouldn't use anyone else in Texas.
Moran is a successful small business owner who you should support.

Moran is the owner of M.I. Trading. This could not have a more comfortable, educational experience. This particular industry is one in which I have been taken advantage of in the past - it’s difficult for me to trust. Without knowledge and training, clients have no bearing. Without any understanding, we can’t know what we’re being told is true. Honesty is hard to come by these days. That having been said, Moran is very transparent, easy going, and very honest.
If you have an opportunity or reason to do business with him, it is highly recommended that you do so. He is no pressure. You will learn something while you’re with him, and he is fair. He takes the stress out of having to deal with the liquidation of family jewels.

Moran rocks! I went in with a few pieces to get rid of, along with some scrap I wasn't sure he'd take (1 earring, couple broken clasps). Moran not only accepted everything, but was also very fair considering the condition of it all. Most of what I had was worn every day for years. He's also a family man, as he didn't mind my 2 year old hanging out with us while talking business, even giving him a gift! Overall a great experience, I plan on coming back if ever needed, and encourage everyone to do the same.

We were referred here from another jeweler who spoke very highly of
MI Trading. After taking our gold and silver to Moran, the owner, we can easily see why he is well respected by peers.
He took careful time to exam each piece, provided a more than fair trade amount and even provided interesting facts about gold trading as he assessed our items.
When you arrive, you are escorted into a private, secure office. It was a pleasure doing business with Moran. We will surely return should we need similar services in the future.
