ARA was my first sale ($966) and I'm quite pleased. Their amount matched mine accurately and they returned the small diamonds in a Little baggie. They have new thing where they will give you a quote for your diamonds you can receive that check or if you don't like the quote receive the diamonds back.

They also buy silver at 10% refinery fee.

A lady I work with asked me about gold. I weighed out several pieces she had and I checked the markings (don't have a tester). I told her about ARA. They came in on the high end of the estimate I gave her. She was ecstatic.

In the past I sold to Midwest Refineries which happen to be near me. However for security reasons everyone has to send their gold in to them now. I am much happier selling to ARA because they also return your stones while Midwest keeps them.
