The workmen were WONDERFUL, my floor looks GREAT, and I couldn't be more pleased with this particular company. They have a huge selection of kitchen countertops, too.The workmen were very sweet, finished quickly and their work was impeccable.

I too heard the horror stories and held onto my tin of broken, tacky 80's gold (why God why did I still have so many herringbone necklaces with the kinks in them). I had almost tossed it many times in the past decade but left it in the bottom drawer being the pack rat that I am. Then a family friend told me she took hers to this place and walked out with $1,200.00 and I thought, yeah right, she must have had a wheelbarrow full of it. She said you could take it in, let them sort and test it and they would give you a quote and you could choose to sell or take your stuff and walk out so I took a road trip one Saturday and gave it a shot. I didn't feel like I had very much but was hoping for a couple hundred bucks spending money for a beach trip. I walked out of there with $2,300.00 and could not believe it. All that for broken chains and tacky earrings I haven't worn in 20 plus years. I did have a couple rings with stones I wanted to keep and maybe set in silver down the road and they removed my stones and gave them to me. They do everything right in front of you so there is no worry that they took your stuff to the back and did a switcharoo. They are also open on Sundays. Good Luck! I had a great vacation, paid some bills and stashed some in the savings account with mine. I told my husband he could never make fun of me for "saving" junk again! dlb: Gold & Coin Exchange in Marietta at 1185 Cobb Pkwy N.

I see a year ago post, but this is not an etiquette question. Does the city (or state) have an ordinance (not zoning) regulating bicycle parking? Should alternative bike parking be required for festivals? Just got told to ”move my bike” very nicely by dpd. I see a year ago post, but this is not an etiquette question.
