Quad City Pickers

Quad City Pickers Your local buyer. We are a virtual business and do not have a store front. Also offering appraisals.

We buy "smalls", such as gold and silver jewelry, pocket knives, vintage film cameras, sterling silver flatware, and other interesting odds and ends. If you have something you are interested in selling, feel free to message us for an estimate.

We are currently not accepting silver at this time unless there is an immediate need to sell for cash at a discounted amount. Our refinery partner as well as many national refiners are backlogged for months with processing due to the huge surplus caused by the massive spike in silver price.

Today I bought two gold rings from a lady for $315. She told me she took them to a local jeweler a couple days ago and was only offered $50 for them. This goes to show you should always get multiple offers. QC Pickers always matches local offers as well.

This tiny 10k gold tie tack with a broken shank was just purchased for $80 for the gold content alone. This sterling silver butter knife was just purchased for $32. $112 just for two small items. There could be hundreds or even thousands sitting in your house collecting dust. Not only do we buy gold and silver, unlike other buyers we offer free sorting. If you aren't sure what is gold or silver, we can help you go through your jewelry or old silverware and other pieces, looking for marks that many can miss. Sometimes older silver pieces were not marked, and resizing a ring can remove the gold hallmark. Other countries have used hallmarks that aren't your standard 925 or 585, and many buyers can overlook these.

Just got done making a buy, guy pulled this men's ring out "What would you give me for it? A pawnshop only offered $150". Imagine how much his face lit up at our offer...$340! Needless to say he sold it to us.

The choice is always yours. You could choose take a bunch of gold and silver jewelry to an auction, but who knows what it will sell for? As a buyer, I've personally purchased quite a bit of gold jewelry from auctions for next to nothing. But that's how an auction works, it's sold to the highest bidder, and if no one else bids, that's what it ends up selling for. Auctions charge commissions of 30-35% on top of that too. It could take upwards of 2 months before your items sell. Why wait? Why put items in a selling platform where its anyone's guess to what it sells for? Quad City Pickers pays you cash, on the spot. If you want to compare our offer to others in your area, we always give you that option. The choice is always yours.

Just paid out $15 on this very small bent up 14k earring. Just imagine if you had a dozen small earrings to scrap, this would be a payout of over $175!

Here is a sample of our appraisal. This is not an insurance appraisal (those are typically inflated prices) but a price based appraisal as to what an item has been selling for over time, if this price is going up or down over time, and what it should realistically sell for. It's good to have an idea of what prices have gone up or down, because if the item is trending downward, you may wish to sell it now, and if it's trending upward, you may wish to hang on to it.

A little bit about what we do. We are pickers. What does that mean? Well, if you are planning on having an estate sale, garage sale, or have stuff you need to sell, we pick it from you. You get paid on the spot, and you don't have to worry about returns, customers, or fees. A typical estate sale company takes a 50% cut, auctioneers take a 30% cut, not to mention it will likely sell for less than our offer. We buy a little bit of everything. From jewelry and watches, scrap silver, electronics, cameras, hand tools, video games, to model airplane engines, HVAC parts, new car parts, we have bought a lot of random and unique items over the years. How does it work? We come to your house and you can either have us do a walk-through, where we scope out things we might be interested in, or you can have what you are interesting in selling grouped up for us to look at. Then we make you an offer. Now keep in mind our offer isn't going to be what something sold for on eBay. Time is money, and we save you a lot of time by doing all of the work for you. You don't have to deal with testing and repair, photographing, listing, boxing up stuff, mailing it off, dealing with rude customers and returns, etc. You also don't have to wait days, weeks, or even months for it to sell. However, our offer isn't high pressure. You are always welcome to compare it, or wait. Will your offer be more than a pawn shop pays? Absolutely! We also offer a pricing and appraisal service as well. If you have something you inherited and have no idea what it's worth, we use a data service that tracks eBay sold prices going back over 15 years! Our fee is $10 per a single item, or $5 if doing multiple items. We build you a custom appraisal sheet including multiple sold values, and if the item appears to be trending up or down in price over the years, as well as a ranged estimate of value if sold today.
