Quick cash for the holidays

By Mary Malik

There’s still time to give the ultimate gift of gold or silver, or receive that other ultimate gift, cash. Cara Reider, owner of Chagrin Falls Gold & Coins, buys old, broken and unwanted gold and silver jewelry, gold, sterling silver, coins and more for cash on the spot. Stop in with your high school ring, grandma’s old sterling flatware, sterling tea sets, gold and silver jewelry from that ex you want to forget, even gold teeth, and Cara will turn it into cash on the spot.

“The price of gold and silver are high right now,” says Cara. “Who doesn’t have something they aren’t wearing or using, or is costing you money by keeping it on your insurance policy? Get rid of it and get the money to do something you really want.”

Cara says people often don’t know the worth of something so they stick it in a drawer and forget about it. Broken chains, mismatched earrings, and outdated rings are all worth something, and often much more than expected. Cara pays you the highest percentages in Ohio, guaranteed.

“Coins and gold and silver bars make great stocking stuffers,” says Cara. “Starting a child on a coin collection is the gift of a lifelong hobby that accumulates in value.”

Cashing in on unwanted “stuff” is easy and fun.

“I feel so comfortable here,” says a regular customer. “Cara is honest, fair and so nice. She explains the process clearly and you never feel pressured. And she knows her stuff.”
