After researching, reading reviews & visiting a few "seemingly" good jewelers, I made up my mind and I chose to do business with M.I. Trading. I felt they were above the others in every way.
Other jewelers made me feel like they were doing me a favor even looking at the jewelry which I wanted to sell. Some others low balled me.
I knew I found someone that I could trust when I went to M.I Trading. Moran did not rush me. He explained everything to me and was completely transparent, because he wanted me to make educated decisions. Nobody else even came close to caring about my business, never mind taking the time to educate me.
At M.I. Trading, I had the opportunity to think about what I wanted to do, without any pressure ... and when I decided what I wanted to sell, Moran gave me TOP DOLLAR.
I could not be happier that I found M.I. Trading, a company that I can trust.

Selling jewelry? When you're dealing with something that you are not an expert in, you must trust the people you're dealing with. After visiting more than one person/company, regarding selling my old jewelry, I found and I TRUST
M.I. Trading. Some other places I visited turned their nose up at my beautiful jewelry and wouldn’t even give me a price! I am relieved & elated that I found M.I. Trading.
I not only liked Moran's personality, but his integrity, knowledge and customer appreciation was unsurpassed by any other person I visited/ spoke with.
Moran seeks to educate you BEFORE you, the customer, makes a decision! Moran seeks to treat his customers the way he would want to be treated . . . and he treated me like a VIP....
VERY important to me!
I am just a person selling my jewelry and I was treated like a return customer, like a friend, like I want to be treated ... AND ... I received TOP dollar for my jewelry.
My experience (s) at M.I. Trading could not have been better!

The wife and I had some flatware to sell. We did some research and came up with a bottom price we would accept and a "wishful thinking" price we would really like. After checking reviews, we settled on M.I.Trading and mad an appointment. Upon arrival we met with Moran and he talked us through the process, how it was weighed and answered all of our questions. When it was said and done, Moran came up with a number that was just short of our "wishing" number. We shook hands, he handed us a check and had us on our way faster than I thought. We would highly recommend M. I. Trading.

I recently decided to sell some sterling silver flatware and other items that were languishing in storage, not wanted by relatives.
I found M.I. Trading on line. Mr. Tairy responded to voicemail immediately and met me at his office the next day. He was helpful, professional, and forthright. He evaluated everything and made an immediate offer. I was sorry to see my pretty things go but left within the hour with a cheque for a substantial and fair price.

I had some jewelry to sell, and M.I. Trading gave me a very fair offer. I was able to get a same day appointment which was a very convenient bonus. Moran was professional and polite and prompt at communicating. If I ever need this service again, I will absolutely return.

He was truly helpful during a time that I was overwhelmed by what was left for me by my mother. He was very straight forward about everything. Will be coming back for sure.

I was so nervous and emotional , but I knew it was best to sale my rings. Moran Tairy Was so nice, explained the process and he was so compassionate about my feelings, making sure I was okay and saying positive motivation words. He understood was hard for me to sale my wedding bands but also made me feel here is to a new journey with my kids.
I recommend everyone to go to him. His industry is to buy but he makes you feel that your feelings and emotions are more important to him than making a sale and that shows he is a great person and you want to do business with people that have a heart. I’m thankful God put him in our path to sale the rings.

Moran is the best in the business. I shopped around before selling my gold and silver, and Moran not only offered me the most for my pieces, but was extremely thorough in his process, communicative, and funny! His near 20 year experience in the industry speaks for its self. He is extremely knowledgeable. There is no one else I will ever use. Moran has exclusively earned my business for the foreseeable future.

I went by for a quick appraisal and Moran was able to squeeze me in without an appointment, which I highly recommend.
I’m looking forward to doing business with them again.

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.
