Harold The Jewellery Buyer Dishonest

Stay away from this clown. He's nothing but a greedy, lying, manipulative weasel. In his TV ads, he portrays himself as an upstanding fair and honest Jewish businessman, but when you get in the store, he perpetuates virtually every negative Jewish stereotype there is from the last 2000 years. You would think that after his first store got firebombed he would change his business practices at his new location, by being fair, honest and treating customers with respect, but no, he puts bars on the windows and keeps the front door locked at all times and you have to go through a security guard posted outside first, before he'll even let you in. But if you seem to think you MUST go to him, don't take your eyes of your jewellery or Harold the Jew will do a sleight of hand and it will disappear into his pockets right before your eyes and you'll be lucky if he gives you $20 for it. Get it appraised at a real jewellery store first before you go trying to sell it to this guy. Better yet, take it to one of the other jewellery buyers in the area.

Harold The Jewellery Buyer Buying Jewellery

I went to see Harold with an heirloom necklace that I received from my grandmother as a wedding gift. It was very difficult for me to decide to sell this, and I was hoping to be treated fairly and with a modicum of respect. Instead, I entered Harold's "shop" which is mostly a room full of bars - not even a pawn shop, becasue there's nothing on display. Harold treated me like some drug addict off the street hoping to make a buck out of something I pick-pocketed. He offered my between $2000 and $4000 and demanded to know if I wanted to make a deal, and them proceeded to have a conversation with his co-workers in a different language while I stood thee and fumed. He finally got up to $5300 while throwing in some snide comments about my ridiculous expectations and the other people I got offers from were clearly all liars. When I wanted to leave, I had to ask for my necklace back five times before he finally handed it over, and then he wouldn't open the door for me to get out, though I was clearly upset. The man was a total jerk and was not going to offer my what my item was actually worth, only what little he thought he would get away with paying me.
It was a very uncomfortable experience, and I'll never go there again. If you need super quick cash for something and don't mind being treated like trash, then perhaps this is the place for you. But if you'd like to be treated with some respect, then DON'T GO HERE!

Harold The Jewellery Buyer Sold jewellery

DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN IF YOU WANT AN ACCURATE RETURN FOR YOUR GOLD!

Recently visited this man in his store with bars everywhere and it makes you feel like you are in a pawn shop-actually I believe it is a pawn shop. You sit down and instantly he starts touching your items and simply asks you how much you want without weighing anything. The people you will find in the waiting room are your typical pawn shop goers, selling jewellery for perhaps their next fix?

His ads do not portray what really goes on there, he is rude, refuses to weigh the gold and lies about how many carats your gold is! I had 14 and 18, he told me I only had 10 but when I corrected him he offered me more money.

Harold started off by offering me $150 and then I left with over 4 times that amount because I simply refused what he was offering (I was negotiating prices with him before realizing I was being haggled for my gold which is NOT what I wanted or expected from his ads). I expected him to weigh it and tell me what it was worth--he will not tell you how much he offers per gram of gold!

It bothers me that I do not know how much my gold was actually worth or how much it weighed! I realized after I left that I should have sold my gold to money mart where a person actually weighs the gold in front of you and determines 10, 18, 14k etc.

I was simply foolish to have gone in the first place-I probably would have gotten a FEW hundred more at a place where they are honest with the consumer.

All in all, not a pleasant experience and definitely not at all what I expected.

I would never recommend anyone to go here unless they like pawn shops and all that happens at those places.

Listen Judy, you must be his mistress or a few rocks short in the head bc there's no way this vermin didn't cheat you. This guy is the lowest form of rat ###.There is no way he weighed your goods or was anywhere near sweet. On your next trip to hell, his address, spit on him.
PEOPLE this guy is a theif. His own staff berate him behind his back, they're afraid of the sin spilling in on them. Stay as far away as possible
No morals, no shame. Most likely Small penis too. His beady eyes say it all. May his wife and 7 ### rot in hell on the money he stole from me. Harold you rotten ###, next time don't take your kippa off when you're man handling a woman. Either way on or off you're a sewer rat

I went to see harold today, let me start off by saying i was treated with respect and dignity. I brought 2 white gold chains and a Rolex to sell, ovbously tring to get the best price. first I tried a competitor that had a huge sign saying we buy watches and gold. She looked at the watch and couldnt tell me if it was real or not, nevermind she was so rude and low balling me that I was even intimidated to go anywhere else. After i regained my composure A friend of mine told me to try Harold The Jewlellry Buyer. Thank God!
Harold weighed everything infront of me. He seems to be well educated and really knows his watches. He was well mannered and went strait to bizness as soon as i walked into his office.Overall he was a sweatheart and i look forward to seeing him again.

This guy is the biggest crook in Toronto and can't believe he hasn't been shut down or arrested for fraud and ripping people off...my mom took out a 5, 000 loan with jewellry worth more than $100, 000..diamonds, ruby's really heavy chains all of our heirlooms and things we were suppose to inherit. He was always trying to convince her to sell it, would never show it to her like he was suppose to when she came to make payments and assured her that the jewellry was safe. Well she was a few days late with a payment she had called him to arrange something and he avoided her calls and when she arrived at his shady no good scamming shop to make her payment he wouldn't let her in threatend to call police and told her the jewellry was melted. His plan all along was to get his fat, midget, greedy, gross, hands on our inheritance and has been scamming people this way for years! He uses the same tactics with everyone..he deserves to eat bread and water for life in jail! This guy needs to be shut down, he is a crook and a horrible, greedy, discusting piece of ### that has been ripping people of for years and continues to get away with it. This guy deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail and hope the law will win and he gets what he deserves!

This guy is a piece of ###. I'm not surprised he got robbed and pistol whipped. He deserves it! This guy has no manners what so ever. I gave him an earful after his condescending suggestion; telling me take my stuff to a different store. I would love to see this man go bankrupt.

There are better places to sell than Harold. Pinto, Van Rijk, and Korda.
All offered way more.
In the end I didn't sell. I'll wait for gold to go back up.
