Texas Business Prospers Off Unique Approach to Gold & Silver Buying

HOUSTON, July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As analysts predict gold prices will continue to climb, customers of Gold & Silver Buyers, the largest purchaser of gold and silver in the state of Texas, are taking advantage of the company's larger than usual payouts. Gold & Silver Buyers credits the fact that because it owns its own gold and silver refinery, there is no middleman, and it is able to pay more than its competitors.  

Gold & Silver Buyers is proud to be featured this month for paying the most for gold jewelry in a gold-buying segment of a new nationally-syndicated television show called Deals, which airs on ABC-TV's Live Well HD Network.  The company has been spotlighted in numerous other media outlets both in Texas and nationally.

Also contributing to Gold & Silver Buyers' success, most of its more than 60 locations are inside or just outside well-known Texas grocery stores, and that attracts customers who feel much more at home in their local grocery than in a pawn shop or coin shop.  

Gold & Silver Buyers President Larry Gray says, "It's a strategy that has worked tremendously well for us, not only in large markets, such as Houston, San Antonio and Austin, but also in the many smaller cities and towns where we are located, such as Waco, Brenham, Conroe and  College Station. People feel comfortable when they stop by to see us as they pick up some milk and eggs for their families. We are pleased to serve customers from all walks of life—from the college student selling his high school class ring to the family selling a never-used silver tea set."

Gray adds, "Our locations are beautifully decorated and professional so it's like visiting your local bank. In fact, some of our employees were previously employed at local banks and made the switch to Gold & Silver Buyers after graduating from our extensive training program."

Gold & Silver Buyers recently opened a flagship location inside the Houston Galleria, a top tourist destination, where a master gemologist is on hand to appraise diamonds and other gemstones.
