the event.”

-Laura Cole (Bere Jewelers) “The in store events hosted by National Rarities are by far the easiest and most successful events of our entire year as a retailer. They provide us with all the marketing and support needed to make the event successful. When the customers come in to sell their items, they do all the work and we just sit back and relax. Our customers felt the quotes were fair and most ended up selling. This event is really a no-brainer and we are now religiously hosting it two times a year.”

-Alex Schlindwein (Kiefer Jewelers) “Lee Read Jewelers recently hosted our first National Rarities buying event. I have held numerous events over the years and have never had a more professional group of people in our store than the buyers from National Rarities. While not everyone sold their items they were all treated with respect and we received no negative comments from anyone that attended. We will definitely be holding future events.”
