Super professional business. I had never sold gold items before, but had thoroughly researched online & brick & mortar gold sellers and Bay Area Gold and Silver Buyers kept popping up as the top business in San Francisco. I asked a bunch of questions and had them all answered with patience. Excellent service, fast and reliable!

They only offered 90% of spot for my gold coins. : ( That "might be" a fair price for scrap gold that would have to be melted down, but for gold coins in good condition that IS NOT a good deal for the seller. I can't believe I said yes to selling my 1/2 oz Gold Eagle....sold the Mexican 50 peso coin for FULL SPOT online to J M Bullion...which takes time and is a bit of a hassle, but for me it is worth an extra 10%!!!! Pretty sure local coin stores would have paid full spot price as well....

Went here to sell a 24 karat gold bracelet and was welcomed very nicely. Honest and technological with there appraisal. He has a special ray gun or something that weighs the purity of ur gold instead of the scratch and drop some liquid on ur gold test which I deff appreciate bc if u decide u didn't wanna sell it or something it wouldn't be scratched or marked leaving u with exactly what u came in with. Straight cash for gold. Thanks a bunch:$$$

Amazing. I had some scrap jewelry, flatware , and other misc items I had laying around, that I knew I could get money for, but I was totally overwhelmed and unsure by the amount of places promising to give you top dollar. What sold it for me was the amount of great reviews Bay Area Gold and Silver Buyers had out there. I literally could not find a bad review. So I made the appointment and I'm so glad I did. He showed me exactly what I had and how much it was worth so I didn't feel In the dark about any part of the process. And he also showed an amazing amount of patience, as I

They're OPEN again! They have a temporary location in downtown SF. I was able to visit their office today and was pleased to receive another great and much needed sell. Larry never fails to come through, it's no wonder why he has such a loyal following (even during Covid). If you are looking for the best deal, look no further... make your appointment and you won't be disappointed!

LOVE THESE GUYS! 10/10 score for pricing, location/parking, customer service and everything and anything else! I cannot say enough good things about these guys! They truly do have the BEST PRICES in the city! I am now a former customer of sf gold buyer, because now I won't go anywhere else! This is definitely my new go-to spot to sell my gold and is DEF worth the extra 5-10 min drive from where I used to go! 1These guys are the definition of what genuine good customer service is and should be! I have only recently found them and have come twice, and was always warmly welcomed and given immediate

An absolutely pleasant and enjoyable experience! Normally, like anyone else, we check reviews before doing just about anything, but in this case we were referred by a good friend, Rory, and his word is bond, so we went straight away to Bay Area Gold and Silver Buyers, still a little hesitant and not knowing what to expect, but certainly hoping for the best. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a pair of sweet and affection little dogs, who made us fee quite welcome. After spending a few minutes earnestly inspecting our goods, using tools the likes of which we had never seen, we knew were

Having never approached selling gold and silver jewelry before, I was apprehensive about it. So I did a lot of research. And all roads led me to Bay Area Gold and Silver. I am so happy with my experience with Larry Li. I was put at ease and made comfortable to the highest degree. He is super professional and at the same time very personable. More importantly I was given an excellent very fair price for my items, exactly what I hoped for in order to keep my finances in order!! In total I highly recommend doing business with this establishment and you'll be taken care of as nicely and fairly

I am so glad I found this place. These guys are AWESOME!! Even KILLER their gaurd dog!! More bark than bite 😜
Jacob,Rory, and Sam, I think his name is. I'm truly sorry if imI I wrong.
I just started going to this place and I will continue to go here for whatever I have I think is precious metals. These guys are patience, very knowledgeable and straight forward with me. I appreciate their work ethic. And I'm a good judge of character and right off the bat you can tell that they are going to work with you and give you the best price they can.
Another great thing is that they are fast. Meaning

Larry is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and generous people in this business. He deserves a 10 star for his compassion and understanding for what you are selling, either by choice or out of necessity. His business operation is secure, friendly and has a wonderful ambience. Very positive environment! Kudos to you Larry, for your kind heart and great ethics! The only place to go in the bay area!

IF YOU HAVE JEWELRY TO SELL, SELL IT HERE.
Larry is, without a doubt, the most honest jewelry buyer you will ever do business with. He offers the best prices in the market, and takes the time to discuss the reasoning and calculation behind the price.
Before I met Larry, I tried selling my gold and silver to numerous buyers in San Francisco, San Mateo, and the East Bay and all of them played games, offered unreasonable prices, and enjoyed condescending to customers. Not here. Larry is not only incredibly honorable in business but he is also great guy to talk with and is very friendly and sociable

Larry and his partner was very nice and friendly as I was greeted at the door by their little dog.
I went to see them a day after Labor Day wanting to see how much vAlue I was able to get by selling 18K Golden Necklace.
I want sure since I didn't have that much knowledge of buying and sell in the jewelry industry.
They gave me a good price in my opinion and I was happy that I found them their Yelp.
I read a few other places but I wasn't too sure so I decided to go here instead and I'm glad I did!
Thanks guys for your great customer service and I'll be seeing you again

Most places I went into including the West Portal gold buyers(in case you were wondering) pay only 70% of scrap value were these guys have payed 80% of scrap value consistently every single time. Don't believe me? You think this is a paid ad or like I'm a friend of this gold buyer or something? I'm just writing this to save you guys some time. But if you're a true skeptic then go ahead and find out the hard way.

I was looking through some old pieces of mine that really had any meaning to me anymore. So I was searching on Yelp! for a suitable silver and gold buyer. Of course you usually go in expecting a lot more than the business will value your items. I was truly surprises at what a fair price Larry offered me.
Don't be shy about telling him that it's a designer piece, this will only boost your outcome. $$$ Most of my pieces were silver, but he still gave me a super awesome value and was very knowledgeable and gracious.
I also brought my Maltese and was pleasantly surprised that he had 2
