Brownstone estates, stoop-sale finds, and family sterling — worth the one train into the Diamond District.
Brooklyn sellers ask us one question more than any other: is it worth coming into Manhattan instead of selling at a local shop? The honest math: most neighborhood buyers in Brooklyn are resellers — they buy your silver at a discount and flip it to the Diamond District wholesalers on this block. Selling here removes that entire markup from between you and the market. On anything more than a single small piece, the train fare returns itself many times over.
What comes over the bridge: brownstone estate lots from Park Slope and Bed-Stuy, sterling from generations of Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst households, coin collections from Sheepshead Bay, and a steady stream of stoop-sale and thrift finds that turn out to be real sterling. We sort it all in front of you and quote only on what's genuine — the sorting is free either way.
One train, no transfers from most of the borough: B/D/F/M/N/R lines all connect to 47th–50th St Rockefeller Center or 49th St. Twenty-five to forty minutes from nearly anywhere in Brooklyn.
We're at 30 West 47th St, 8th Fl, New York, NY 10036 — take the elevator to the 8th floor. Bring your silver and a government-issued photo ID.
For one small ring, maybe not. For anything beyond that — a bag of jewelry, any flatware, any coins — the payout difference between Diamond District rates and local reseller rates covers your MetroCard many times over.
Our rates are published against the live silver spot price at the top of every page — weight × purity × spot, calculated on a certified scale in front of you. Get quotes anywhere you like first; ours survives the comparison.
Describe what you're selling and we'll give you a real ballpark before you make the trip. Or just come in — no appointment needed.
