Blue Ribbon Estate Buyers travels to cities and towns across the United States every month — hosting buying events at local hotels and event venues where you can bring your gold, diamonds, jewelry, watches, and coins to be evaluated by our specialists. Free of charge. No pressure. Same-day payment if you decide to sell.
We add new cities to our schedule regularly. Leave us your name, ZIP code, and phone number and we’ll call or text you the moment we schedule an event in your area. No email lists, no newsletters — just a personal call from our team.
If you’ve never been to one of our events, here’s what to expect:
Bring anything you’d like appraised — gold jewelry, diamonds, estate pieces, watches, coins, silver flatware. Condition doesn’t matter. Certificates and receipts are helpful but never required.
Are you a director of a senior center, a community association, a co-op board, or a local organization? We would be honored to host a private buying event for your community. We handle everything — you simply invite your members.
It’s a completely free service and a genuinely valuable resource for your community. Call 800-240-9606 to discuss bringing Blue Ribbon to your group.
We buy valuables made from gold, silver, or platinum in any condition. Whether your jewelry pieces are broken, scratched, outdated, or just plain out of style, send them in for a fair and honest evaluation.
With a bit of TLC, we refurbish and resale your jewelry whenever possible to ensure it finds a great home in someone else’s life. Only rarely do we melt and sell for scrap — so there’s no need to discriminate between prized family heirlooms and yesterday’s impulse buy!
We maintain a perennial interest in premium luxury and mechanical watches. All prospective sellers receive free appraisals with no strings attached and, should they decide to sell, we deliver the best prices the market has to offer on authentic timepieces.
We check the material, weight, typefaces, engravings, movement, and function against precise testing standards that verify its pedigree.
Materials matter and can often determine a substantial portion of the appraisal. In some cases, a stainless steel watch is more valuable than the same watch in gold. In either case, our knowledge and rigor will yield you the best possible estimate.
We study market prices to find out where your watch clocks in and offer you top-dollar.
We buy coins, bullion, and collectibles made of a precious metal such as gold, silver, platinum, and some palladium. No matter the age or vintage, Blue Ribbon Estate Buyers offers the best market price for full collections, accumulations, or individual coins.
We buy Sterling Silver (92.5%) flatware and hollowware, along with Fine Silver (99%), Japanese Sterling (95%), Coin Silver (90%), Eastern European Silver (80%), and more. Please note we do not buy silver-plated items or nickel silver. While they look and feel very similar to silver, they offer very little resale value and unfortunately do not contain enough actual silver to merit scrapping.
We carefully examine and evaluate your paper money from both the United States and foreign countries. All United States currency is legal tender and can be used in normal cash transactions, but there is collector value for some of the older issues — particularly ‘horse blankets’ or large-size currency issued prior to 1929. Most foreign paper money brought home as keepsakes or mementos have no value unless it’s in pristine and unused condition.
We buy all scrap metals that contain precious metals, whether it be gold, silver or platinum. We will buy all purities of these metals as long as they are not plated. Some common examples of scrap metals are dental gold, materials left over from jewelry making, harshly damaged jewelry, damaged Sterling Silver flatware and hollowware, and more.
We are always interested in other small, easily transportable antiques and collectibles that are unique and unusual. Please call 800-240-9606 to confirm our interest.
