A different way to sell
You don’t have to travel.
Or mail away your valuables.
If you are ready to sell, start with a conversation. Here is how Mister Money Bags makes the process work around you.
Start with a photo, not a commitment.
Text a clear photo of what you have. Jim can often tell you whether a visit makes sense before he comes out.
Find out what you have — for free.
Get a free certified appraisal, in person. Jim looks over your items, explains what he sees and makes an offer. There is no charge for the visit or appraisal.
Say yes to the offer. Get paid on the spot.
If you accept, Jim pays you right then. There is no need to ship your items and wait for them to be assessed elsewhere.
One piece or a whole collection: both welcome.
A gold chain, a coin collection, sports cards or an estate lot — Jim buys individual pieces and larger collections. You do not need a full house of items to get in touch.
Talk with a buyer with about 30 years of experience.
Jim Pavlish has spent about 30 years buying gold, silver, jewelry, coins and collectibles from people across Greater Cleveland. Ask questions and discuss your items directly with him.
