i brought a engagment ring to sell. it was bought for abou 5k and was cert. When i brought the i didn't have the cert and the guy here was very honest. the ring without cert is probably 3k, I have to resell and make a profit. he gave 1500. I thought it was fair given the circumstances. - captainkid28

I have been conducting business with Budget Buy and Sell for the last 10 years, and after reading all of the recent negative reviews about them, I feel some sort of obligation to offer my opinion. I would like to urge people reading this to visit the store for themselves before judging it based on these biased reviews. It is no coincidence that three negative reviews have been written in the past month, compared to only one in the prior history of google reviews. I can tell you that they have always done the right thing by me, however I cannot and do not in any way vouch for them. Go to other stores, get the best price, and sell where you get the most, whether it be Budget or somewhere else. Just don't judge them based on one bad experience they had with a customer, as it is this customer that is responsible for the negative reviews. On a side note though, and I direct this to the previous negative reviewers, but how about having some respect? Classless posts instructing the owner to "read a book between customers" are completely uncalled for and unnecessary, and throwing insults and calling people "stupid" is downright childish. Were all adults and should act accordingly. So to whoever may be asked to post a response to this, please just try to maintain some level of respect in your post. - islesroc

BBS was recommended by a friend. I had some jewelry to sell. I wanted to get a fair deal. I stopped at 3 other gold buying places before I went to BBS. I did not tell BBS the price I got from the other places but BBS beat all prices. The nearest was $200 less then I was paid. If you are unsure about your gold, stop at other places first then go to BBS. I was not disappointed. I dealt with Jim. I think he is the owner. - Mark

For starters, let me state I am in no way an expert within the gold market. I am a small time investor who has frequented many establishments within Suffolk county in regards to my investments. I have had the opportunity to deal with budget buy and sell on many occasions and have never been dissatisfied with their services. I have also never received higher pricing. My initial visit was preempted by a phone call to the store, and I found their employees to be both polite and informative. After receiving some basic info on the phone I ultimately decided to take a trip down to the store in person. In additon to my initial visit, all my subsequent visits have been met with courteousness and forthrightness. I have sold both bullion and scrap jewelry and on both occasions felt comfortable with their pricing standards and informative explanations. The previous posters figures however, don't mesh with the math I applied on my own. If as stated over 53% of the market value was in fact deducted, then 75% of that number would certainly not rival 95% of the market. It seems as if perhaps the above poster was simply confused and perhaps combined the figures for both jewelry and bullion which vary greatly. Again, within all my dealings with budget buy and sell I have never been dissatisfied. I would encourage anyone to shop there if not for their great pricing standards then at least for the education they are more then willing to provide. - mm_mac57
