Whitman Coin & Jewelry Inc in Melville, NY

The people at Whitman Coin and Jewelry do not offer fair prices when you're wanting to sell your jewelry. I went in to sell my 14k gold diamond and sapphire ring with it's matching necklace (both pretty decent sizes). The woman who helped me offered me $45 for BOTH. When I asked her why so little she replied "The price of gold went way down today and we wouldn't be able to do anything with these diamonds or sapphires". Now, if you've ever been in this place, you'll notice that they have ALL stones in all different pieces of jewelry. She made me think that she was going to melt the gold down with the stones ( HA! I'm not that stupid), I knew she was going to polish the ring and sell it for $300 and the necklace for $200. I went to 2 other jewelry stores and I was offered $120 and $130. So, as you can see, Whitman coin and jewelry only wants to rip you off. If you want to make any money, avoid going here.

whitman coin and jewelry has been around for years and for the life of me i cannot figure out why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aside from being snooty nasty people who work there they sell there crap jewelry and ridiculous prices and at the same time do everything aside from beating you up to offer you nothing for what you bring in to them to maybe sell or pawn do yourrself a favor and drive on by you can go just about ANYWHERE else and get beter cheaper jewelry. As fas as looking to sell gold one of the worst in the town as far as $$$ PER PWT hope this saves someone the grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bought an engagement ring and a wedding band as well as my wedding band there all on separate occasions 2/3 poor experiences... Engagement ring had a diamond missing off the side of the band that. And my wedding band was sized for my finger and I got it and it was hugee... Size 9 went back and they resized saying I needed an 8.5... Got the ring and it was huge again.... Finally repeat one more time. My finger is a 7 3/4 finally fits. No real apology or accommodation on made by the staff just "sorry ull have to come back" on each occasion. I lived 40 mins away and went here based on a friends recommendation... I do not recommend this place far to many mistakes and few apologies when I spent well over $10,000

I find it surprising that someone called the staff snooty. I have never met a more lovely group of people working in one store. I came in to sell jewelry and was offered more there than in the 4 other stores that I had price checked. I ended up buying a beautiful necklace with the money that I received from the sale of my jewelry. Their selection is unbelievable and, again, to contradict the previous review, nothing is old or crappy.I would recommend this store without hesitation!!! Thanks for a great experience!

Dave & his staff are Great .they were very helpful and pleasant. And his father one of a kind we love them
