Moran was kind, patient, and highly skilled. He met with my husband and I twice before we sold our jewelry. We both felt comfortable and confident working with him. I highly recommend selling your jewelry to Moran at MI Trading!

I visited with multiple silver items. When I say silver items, I mean some Plate some sterling some antique, etc., etc. I enjoyed sharing stories of antiques as well as the owner’s knowledge of what is sellable in today’s market. It is very true that the market sure has changed as far as the buyers are concerned I learned a lot, and I was very happy with my appraisal

Moran was amazing to do business with, he was willing to work a time out for me to get to his office when I had my only free time of the week. He was very transparent with pricing and very fair with what my item was worth. I would definitely recommend/do business with his company again, no question.

Thank you again

I recently wanted to help my mom sell her engagement ring as after her husband passed away and she wanted to let go of the emotional attachment to the ring.

Moran came highly recommended by a friend, and my experience was wonderful. He was so professional, kind and knowledgeable. A true Texan at heart that made it easy for me to understand the value of the ring. He provided me a both deal that my mother was very pleased with and an overall experience that was simple and enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone in the market of buying or selling to reach out to Moran.

Thank you so very much!

Moran is so personable! Knowledgeable, friendly and kind. He took the time to educate me on different pieces of sterling silver flatware and gold and silver jewelry. He understands sometimes pieces have significant sentimental value, rather than monetary value, and never pressured a sale. Extremely fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend a visit if you are planning to sell anything gold or silver items.

Highly recommend selling jewelry here! Moran was very personable and transparent in his explanation. He offered a very fair price for my gold snake ring. I would definitely go back if I ever have any jewelry I want to sell in the future.

I’ve worked in jewelry for ten years; so, I was skeptical to visit M.I. before meeting him in person, especially since I wasn’t in a rush to sell some belongings… It was an awesome experience!

Moran is extremely intelligent and factual. I appreciated his insight and sound advice. He and the company are very trustworthy based on facts, advice, guidance, and all information. Everyone needs to know about him! Amazing!

Thank you!
