Why call Jim?
7 reasons to sell to a buyer who comes to you.
Keep your items close, ask questions and make your decision in person. Here is how selling to Jim works around you.
Keep your valuables with you.
Jim comes to your home or meets you at an agreed convenient public place. You do not have to pack a collection for a trip or mail it away before hearing an offer.An in-person visit—not a mail-in appraisal.
Ask a buyer with 37 years of experience.
You speak directly with Jim Pavlish, an American Numismatic Association Life Member, about your coins, jewelry and collectibles. He can review the actual items with you, explain what he sees and answer questions before you decide.One buyer, a direct conversation.
Find out whether a visit makes sense first.
Text clear photos and tell Jim what you know about the items. He can often tell you whether they are a buying fit before you arrange a meeting, saving unnecessary preparation.Start with an overview and a few close-ups.
Get a free appraisal without an obligation.
There is no charge for the visit or buying appraisal. Hear the offer, ask questions and take the decision seriously; if it is not right for you, keep your items and owe nothing.No obligation to accept an offer.
Sell one piece—or discuss the collection.
You do not need an entire estate to call about a ring or a coin. If you have several kinds of items, Jim buys across jewelry, coins, cards and other collectibles, so you can discuss them together.Single items, collections and estate lots welcome.
Accept the offer. Get paid on the spot.
Payment follows your acceptance at the in-person visit. You do not ship first and wait for a remote assessment; if you decline, your items stay with you.On-the-spot payment when you accept.

Look at the items together.

Prefer another way to sell? Compare the process.
Meeting Jim: an in-person buying offer without mailing your items. You arrange the visit directly and decide whether to accept.
Selling elsewhere: a visit-based buyer means you travel; a mail-in buyer means shipping the items. Compare actual offers, fees, payment and return terms. Other buyers’ policies vary.
This is a process comparison, not a claim that Jim always pays more than another buyer.
Not sure whether Jim buys it?
Ask before you sort it all. A call or a few clear photos can get the conversation started.

Can I start with photos?
Yes. Text a clear overview and a few close-ups to (216) 322-9898. Include identifying details and your town. Photos help start the conversation; they are not a final offer or authentication.
