How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Unfortunately, they only buy, not sell. That's a shame. Where do they sell the gold? Surely no one can make a living from buying alone!?
Good for
- Selling old gold, silver, jewelry, and coins
- Quick, same-day cash transactions for precious metals
- First-time sellers seeking transparent and educational appraisals
Avoid if
- You are looking to purchase jewelry or precious metals rather than sell them
