Most have the highest rate of consumer complaints. ■ Never sell your valuables at a counter in view of other customers, insist on using a private office for security. ■ Always check the buyers' expertise and that they are graduate gemologists. ■ If you have high value jewelry and/or coins, only sell to companies that sell that type of valuables. ■ Don't sell your gold or silver coins unless the buyer has at least five years experience and is a member of the American Numismatic Association. ■ Make sure the buyers are using the appropriate tools and the latest testing equipment.
