New shop deals in gold and diamonds

Hamburg - A new branch of American Gold and Diamond Buyers buzzed with activity in the past two weeks as it opened shop at 10 Main Street, but its owners want locals to know that they are not just buying and selling. In Hamburg, like at its headquarters in East Hanover, the company has introduced a charity program. In the economic downturn, owner Darryl Gay explains, most charities are seeing a huge decline in their donations as fewer people have the extra cash to give. But precious metals are selling at near all-time highs, say the shop owners. For this reason, the company has developed its “Ultimate Fundraiser” where the “donor,” or seller, leaves with cash and at the same time a charity will benefit by receiving a percentage of the total proceeds, said Gay. American Gold and Diamond Buyers have helped raise thousands of dollars for worthy causes, including The American “All jewelry is evaluated directly in front of the seller,” said Gay. “Should the client agree to sell, we will pay for the item in cash on the spot. However, if the client decides not to sell, I promise them that we will stay friends as there is absolutely no obligation to sell.” The company offers home parties and fundraisers. They can be reached at 973-823-6301.
