Having read the reviews left by others I knew this was the place to go and they were right. Oscar is friendly and highly knowledgeable. He explained things clearly to me which I appreciated since I had never sold any gold before. It was a smooth and simple transaction and he gave me top dollar for my gold. I can’t recommend Portland Gold Buyers enough. Thanks, Oscar!

Working with Oscar was very easy. He communicated promptly via text to make an appointment time. He gave me an unofficial quote ahead of time so I could decide if it was worth the drive. He was pleasant to do business with.

I came to Oscar with a few jewelry pieces and he was extremely knowledgeable and helped me understand the “why” behind the prices he offered me. He is a very genuine and professional gold buyer and I’d highly recommend him if you’re looking to sell! Thank you, Oscar, for the fantastic experience.

Really excellent service from Oscar. Genuine, honest review of what I wanted to sell - took his time and made it a fun visit. Thank you!

Ditto to all his great reviews. Oscar is respectful of ones attachment to the family bits of treasure with which one is parting . All the paperwork and procedures are carefully done . The price seemed most fair, quoted immediately. Transaction safe and even pleasant. And Oscar is an interesting and kind person.Whats not to like.

My experience with Oscar was outstanding - he is very professional, I received a fair price for my items, and I will certainly be using him again. Highly recommended!

Oscar is great to do business with and always has offered me a fair offer with my items that I have brought him .

Good decision. We sold some old, mismatched sterling flatware that came from the weirdo side of (her!) the family. Oscar responded to an email with clear, straightforward info and current spot price. Took us a couple weeks to make it in. Price of silver had risen a bit so the final exchange was a bit more. Safe, comfortable environment.

First time selling anything gold and jewelry related. Oscar was kind, courteous, and very informed about everything. Explained every detail and the process of buying and selling gold and jewelry and made me feel more comfortable about the process. Thank you for taking the time to help me I appreciate it.

My experience with Oscar was very positive from beginning to end! Friendly, honest and knowledgeable!!! Easy transaction!!! I would Highly recommend!!! It’s very comforting knowing that when I need to sell or purchase precious metals in the future, Oscar will take care of my needs. Five Stars!!!

I decided to visit Oscar with my boyfriend after reading all of the positive reviews online. Oscar was very helpful and informative with the process of selling/buying, and I appreciate his honesty because I had experience with another buyer who didnt provide any detail or explanation. It was nice to speak to someone who has years of experience and I will be coming back soon! :)

I had a 1 ounce gold coin that I wanted to sell. They gave me an number they could buy it at, however i noticed it was far below market price. I actually held onto it and called for some financial advice. They had nearly bought my coin from me for 22% less than it’s worth. I know it’s a business, but that is almost a quarter of its value..?

Oscar is very professional and friendly and is happy to talk with you through the process as well as about general interests - would recommend.

Sold two of my grandfathers rings, wasn’t expecting much but it exceeded my expectations of how much each piece is worth. He knows his stuff and shows you the process he goes through to get the price so you know he’s not playing you. Great guy, just wants to give you the best price. Def going back to him when I have more gold to sell.

Oscar is the best knowledgeable precious metals dealer polite and vary fair prices thanks Mr.o enjoyed the experience

Oscar is a straight-shooter. Im always a bit concerned and on my toes with any foray into selling metals, jewelry, etc (I watched Uncut Gems too many times haha), but Oscar pays market prices while explaining the whole process as you go. 100 percent recommend

Oscar was knowledgeable, transparent, and i learned several things in the process. A pleasant experience, and Id definitely do business there again. I left feeling like we both got a good deal. What more can one ask for?

I took a large group gold crown to Oscar and he could not have been nicer, more patient, more professional, I left enriched by the experience in many ways, He gave me more than I expected, actually. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering his services

Excellent experience with Oscar! Knowledgable, honest and responsive. I would definitely do business with him again.

Very knowledgeable and honest. Could not have had a better experience selling my jewelry. Thank you!

I had some old Jewelry that we had planned on selling for some time and struggled with finding someone to trust. Based on the great reviews, I decided to visit Oscar and what a great experience it was. He explained everything and every aspect of the process. Hes a super nice guy and we had great conversation as well.Im confident I got a fair price for the gold and I received a great education about the process; authenticating the gold, etc. It was really a great experience and Id highly recommend Oscar to anyone thinking about selling gold.

Oscar was very friendly, honest, and he provided a fair price. I appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I would go back to him again.

Oscar was very professional and thorough. I recommend him if you want to sell gold.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Oscar on two separate occasions from the selling end. In both instances he was fair and honest. I feel I received the very best price for the gold I was selling. The atmosphere is relaxed and the transaction was handled quickly and efficiently.I highly recommend him over any other company in Portland if you are in the market to sell gold coins, old gold jewelry, etc. 5 Stars!

Oscar was very helpful and courteous. I had a lot of estate jewelry from my mom. Oscar took a great deal of time to go over the pieces and explained his process. He did not hurry with any part of the transaction and was very upfront about everything. I have called other buyers before and the quoted price was very low. I advise anyone who has not sold gold before to check out prices on the internet, you will find Oscars above anyone else. I will recommend him to friends and family when they are ready to sell.

I Think all the good reviews here are definitely true. My experience with selling my precious metals with Oscar was very smooth and a learning experience. Thank you Oscar for sharing your knowledge of Gold with me and making this transaction a valuable one.

Unbelievable, called to make an appointment, Oscar said sure come in today. So we drove the 45 minutes into town, paid for parking, arrived exactly at the agreed time. Oscar is no where to be found, door locked. So we text & called him..... Nothing. Now 8 hours later still waiting for a return call. We chose Portland gold buyers because of all the good reviews.Disappointed this is how he treated us.

As someone who works at a well known jewelry retail company, I am very knowledgeable about precious metals, their quality, worth and the REAL prices manufacturers pay when purchasing materials to make jewelry.I was pleasantly surprised on how informed Oscar was as he spoke openly with me about “behind closed doors” jewelry retail. His pay rates were well above my expectations and are better then any I have seen for a small jewelry pawn business. Not only is Oscar a professional, but he is also super down to earth.When I met Oscar he was very friendly and I enjoy having a conversation with him as he weighted/tested the gold and handled the sale paperwork. Took about 15 minutes to get in and out with cash in hand! A quick and satisfactory experience! I got a bit over 30% of the original price of what I sold. With the quality of the gold and the retail price markups in mind, I could not have gotten a better deal! I will definitely stick with this guy!

Paid a very fair price for the items I was selling and was also very nice and enjoyable to chat with. Overall a great experience! I will definitely be a repeat customer:)

Oscar is very friendly and knowledgeable, and he offers a fair price. I appreciate his straightforward and transparent process for selling to him.

Oscar is very knowledgeable and very willing to educate the seller on how to get the best price for your gold and silver. He is independently owned and he will give you a fair and accurate price for your valuables. The big franchise pawn shops and brokers use over-hyped radio sales to get you in the door but they will give you a significantly lower price (I experienced this myself). You wont get a better price anywhere in Portland. Highly recommended.

Oscar was terrific. I called him or an estimate on a gold necklace. It sounded like a fair price but i asked around. I even met with a gold buyer who advertises that he pays the highest amount for gold and even links you to a (verified) local news investigative piece where they found that they paid the highest. When they told me what they would pay I told him Id already been offered more on the phone (by Oscar). They increased their offer on the spot, but would not match Oscars price.When I met with Oscar he was knowledgeable, and took time to explain how he does business, and paid me what he had said he would pay on the phone. It was 10% higher than the other buyer I had talked to.I would recommend him unconditionally. I wouldnt consider selling gold to anyone else.

Oscar seems like a very knowledgeable, pleasant and honest guy and his website has lots of valuable information for anyone who would like to learn more about gold, silver, and jewelry. I had a very positive transaction experience with him and would certainly recommend him to anyone who has any precious metals or jewelry to sell.

While doing some fall cleaning, I decided to sell some old jewelry that I owned. After searching the metro area and reading reviews, I decided to go to Oscar and I am very happy about the decision. After speaking with him regarding what pieces I had to sell, he inspected them and purchased them for a very competitive price.Overall, Oscar was professional, experienced, friendly and easygoing, he made the whole transaction quite easy. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell any unwanted gold or silver.Should I have any other precious metals to sell, Oscar is the only buyer in Portland that will get my business and he should get yours too!

Oscar was great to work with. He is very straight forward, communicative, and explains the process well. I sold him a gold necklace and a diamond and felt positive I was getting a good and fair price. Will definitely go back if I have a need in the future.

Oscar is very friendly and extremely informative. I was very impressed with how knowledgeable Oscar was about the pieces I brought to him. I am very appreciative that Oscar took the time to explain the entire selling process. If you are a first-time gold seller, Oscar will make you feel at-ease about the whole process. I would definitely recommend visiting Oscar if you live in Portland and the surrounding areas.

Oscar is professional, low key and pleasant. He explained why he compensated how he did and actually came with about 5 bucks of what I expected for what I sold. I was a bit nervous, but he made it a very nice experience and I will be back. I highly recommend him. He takes walk-ins, and the exchange is one on one. Dont be intimidated, there is no hard sell. Very respectful adult experience.

Oscar is friendly, fair, reasonable, and straight forward. A pleasure to do business with. Gave me a good price for some pieces from my ex I didnt want anymore. More than double what another place previously offered me. Highly recommended and very professional!

Selling my gold was a very pleasant experience. With the one client at time attention that Oscar provides is very reassuring that a details are being addressed.This is a friendly, safe & environment and will be doing business there again. Very simple, straight forward, friendly and professional. When I left I felt that I was respectfully and honestly treated and highly recommend doing business with Oscar!

I would recommend Oscar to anyone buying or selling precious metals. I was very nervous about taking my gold to a dealer downtown. It’s easy conjure up an image of unscrupulous dealers trying to take advantage of unsuspecting sellers. I actually made an error in our transaction in Oscar’s favor and he could easily have taken advantage of the situation, but he did not! I was shocked. He paid me top dollar for my gold coins and was completely professional. I could not be more satisfied and will definitely go to him again. The location is on the third floor, just ring the bell and he’ll buzz you in as soon as he’s available. I appreciated the privacy!

Great experience selling to Oscar. Selling gold/jewelry is something that most of us will do only once or maybe a handful of times. Due to this, its hard to know who to go to and more importantly, who to trust. Oscar makes the process very easy and comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone and would return if I need to sell more jewelry.

Oscar at Portland Gold Buyers is fantastic. Admittedly he was my third stop but Im glad I came across him.To begin with I was given quotes by two other buyers in town that seemed relatively reasonable for the old wedding band I was selling. Then I went to Oscar. It would be best to make an appointment as he is a busy guy. Even though he wasnt in when I arrived, I called the number listed online and he assured me he would arrive to take care of me in fifteen minutes or less, which he did. Kudos for setting proper expectations.When I arrived we went into his office where he appraised the ring. He inspected, told me about how the gold market works. Who knew there was a different price for gold depending on whether its being melted, sold as a piece, etc? I sure didnt but he took the time to explain it all to me.Then his service got even better. At first he came in roughly $7 less than what I had been quoted at other places. He explained clearly why he couldnt give me more than that for the gold the ring contained. However, wanting to keep my business he immediately called a friend who might be interested in the small diamonds the ring contained, emailed him photos of the ring and in minutes was able to match the price the other places had given me.Oscar is cordial, friendly and ultimately the best game in town based on price and service. Next time I want/need to sell gold Ill definitely be going to see Oscar.

I took several very nice pieces of gold and diamond jewelry to Oscar. I had the appraisal amounts for several pieces -- these proved to be unrealistic. Oscar explained the procedure, price paid for gold and diamonds, and the measures used to evaluate the value. It is easy to expect more than you will receive. I was disappointed but was treated fairly. Oscar is personable, pleasant, and well informed. I negotiated a bit which was appropriate for a business transactions. I was a little worried at the funky location --- it was fine. I enjoyed Oscars unconventional approach. I may have made more elsewhere --- who knows. I will refer my friends who may wish to sell their jewelry. I was given cash and an escort to the door. It was a good experience. I will go back again!

I had a great experience selling my spare gold with Oscar today. He was knowledgeable and offered a great market price for what I was selling. I would definitely recommend his business for anyone looking to sell their gold and for possibly investing as well.

Oscar was knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer my questions. I highly recommend Portland Gold Buyers if you have gold or silver to sell.

Even though I only had a small amount of gold to sell, Oscar gave complete attention to the transaction and took time to work with my pieces to maximize the value of the sale for me. Because Id never sold gold before, I was a little apprehensive, but he treated me with respect and helped to educate me about the process. He responded quickly to my inquiry call and I was able to set an appointment right away that fit into my schedule. Oscar was fair with his pricing, and I was very happy with my proceeds.

The gold jewelry brought in to, Oscar, held special sentiment because I had had some of the pieces for over 30 years. Unfortunately, these precious and delicate pieces were too small for me now (rings, bracelets, etc.). I was pleasantly surprised by the value placed on them and the return I received. It greatly exceeded my expectations!Thank you, Oscar!

Oscar was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy. Im new to selling gold and he made the whole process very straightforward and positive. I will definitely go back. The prices he pays are very good and the transaction was very professional.

I went to two other places before meeting Oscar. His compensation was the best and he wanted to explain how he priced things. I appreciate his desire to educate his clients. Very good man to do business with.

Oscar provided me with excellent and sound service with selling my 10k white gold necklace. On top of that, he stayed open past his closing hours when he really didnt have to. And his purchase offer was very close to the retail price that I paid for the necklace years ago.Joseph Watson

I was referred to Oscar by a goldsmith in the same building who did custom work for me. He said I would do very will with Oscar. I sold some scrap dental gold and some odds and ends jewelry to Oscar. He was able to give me a quick and fair estimate. The fact that my goldsmith spoke highly of him helped me to feel comfortable as well. Id work with Oscar again.

I went to Portland Gold Buyers on July 28 2017 solely based on the excellent reviews I read on this business. I wasnt disappointed at all and was treated very fairly by Oscar. He was great and just like others before me, I came away feeling confident that I got the best possible for my gold. Thank you Oscar..it was a pleasure doing business with you !

I have dealt with Oscar twice now. He is very up front and no-nonsense. I always enjoy working with him, and will do so in the future. I recommend his service wholeheartedly.

This was my first time selling gold, so I was not very knowledgeable. Oscar was great, very informative, trustworthy and fair. He is also an engaging and interesting guy, and fun to talk to about all sorts of related topics. I recommend him thoroughly.Steve

Oscar was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me a fair price for a ring I brought in and I would definitely come back!

I had a fantastic interaction with Oscar. He was fair, knowledgeable, trustworthy and a pleasure to talk with. I highly recommend doing business with him!

This is the place to take your jewelry and fine metals. Oscar was as professional as they come and I walked out extremely confident and satisfied with the experience.

I had an absolute wonderful experience with Oscar. He was extremely thorough and explained every coin and gold piece I brought to him. I feel, without a doubt, he is the fairest dealer I could have picked in Portland, or anywhere else for that matter. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience. S. Adams

We had some estate jewelry we wanted to sell but were apprehensive as to how to go about this process. We did not want to be scammed or cheated. We found Oscar through YELP where he had excellent reviews. Everything about the experience was first rate and professional. Oscar is excellent at communicating both on the phone and in person. He is honest, straight-forward, polite and extremely well versed in his profession. He explains every step of the evaluation process so there is total transparency throughout. There is absolutely no hint of pressure or questionable practices. We came away from the transaction extremely satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend Oscar or do business with him again. He is a consummate professional.

Oscar was professional, personable and respectful of my time. This was my first time selling jewelry (gold + diamond). He found a buyer for my diamond very quickly, and he did a great job of walking me through the process. I highly recommend him!

This was my 1st time selling some gold jewelry for scrap. Oscar was very thorough in explaining the process and making me more knowledgeable. I wanted to see how much it was worth first and he didnt pressure me to sell anything. He gave me a very fair price and I would go back again.

Oscar gave fast and excellent service. He explained the process and answered every question I had, as well as being pleasant to work with. The next time I have gold to sell, I will be calling him. Thank you Oscar!

Ive used Portland Gold Buyers multiple times and always get the best prices for gold. Oscar is very professional and a pleasure to work with. What I like the most is he takes the time to explain the processes he uses to look for quality and what is going on in the market- very informative!Ill definitely be using him next time I can use his services

I have sold gold to Oscar at two different occasions and the experience each time was wonderful. He knows his trade well, his natural friendliness is a pleasure to be around, his integrity is obvious....it feels like he is looking out for his customer before he thinks of filling his own pockets. A relationship of mutual trust to say the least!

It was a very interesting and easy experience to sell some of my old jewelry to Oscar. He explained the process and showed me the equipment that tests the karats of the metals. He had a transparent pricing policy and the whole thing took less than 30 minutes. Would use him again if I ever want to sell more pieces.

Oscar was great to work with. I got a great deal on the piece I was selling. This was my first time selling something, and he made it easy. Very professional, and personable. Im definitely recommending him to anyone I know who has jewelry to sell.

Oscar was very kind and knowledgeable. I was a bit intimidated by him at first, mainly because of his stature and his intuitive penetrating eyes, ( a good thing) lol. His hand shake was spot on and that tells u a lot about how one does business.! He knows what he is doing, very prompt on responding to you, and I couldnt have dealt with a kinder person. I will definitely be doing business with Oscar again! Nice smile too ;)

Very outstanding gentleman whos knowledge is rare when it come to refined gold and such. Thank you sir for a very pleasant and comfortable visit. I highly recommend Oscar.

It was a real pleasure doing business with Oscar. He was clear and informative about evaluating the jewelry my husband and I brought in. We would definitely recommend Oscar, and would use his services again.

Oscar was fantastic to work with and took the time to really explain his process and that of the buyers he works with. I came away happy and confident that Oscar offered me the most he could for my gold and diamonds.

Today I brought in a bunch of scrap jewelry I had hanging around my house for a long time. Most of it was silver, broken chains and rings, and a few gold rings. Oscar was very professional; he answered all of my questions and took extra time explaining the process and the price of gold and silver and how he calculated his offer to me. I felt very good about my experience and felt like I received a very fair price for the things I brought in. I know I will do business with Oscar at Portland Gold Buyers again!

Oscar was a pleasure to deal with and provided a clear and fair price. Id definitely do business with him again.

Professional and amiable service. I was more than satisfied with the sale of my pieces. Highly recommended!

I had some US Liberty coins to sell. Oscar was friendly, professional, and informative on the phone. He offered an excellent price for the coins, he really seems to know his business well, we had some great conversation, and left a very satisfied customer. Thanks, Oscar!

I had a great experience with Oscar of Portland Gold Buyers. He was kind, knowledgeable and professional. He gave me a fair rate on the jewelry that I brought to sell and was fun to talk to. Highly recommended!

Oscar was very nice and explained the process thoroughly. If you have old jewelry that you dont wear anymore, this is a great way to get rid of it. Highly recommended!

Oscar is fantastic! He explains all the details of the different qualities of your gold and gives a very fair price. I would highly recommend him for selling your gold and silver! Just met him today, 9/1/11, and was very pleased with our transaction.

I found Oscar at Portland Gold Buyers via google search. I had 3 gold rings to sell as well as a few earrings. He was pleasant and knowledgeable and I received a fair price for the gold. Thanks Oscar!

Last fall I needed to make some difficult decisions regarding my family home. Due to a lay-off, I could no longer afford the property. Luckily I found Oscar Morante in my search for answers. Oscar explained to me the short sale process in a way that I could clearly understand. I decided that a short sale was the best way to resolve my present situation. I listed the house with Oscar immediately. He effectively marketed the property and negotiated with my creditors for the best possible outcome. I sold the house. I don’t owe anything on it. I highly recommend Oscar if you are considering a short sale transaction.Thanks for your help!Eric

Oscar is so knowledgeable with the gold business, I would never go any where else to do business. Hes honest, and he is a very friendly person. Portland Gold Buyers is the best in Portland.

Oscar is positive and knowledgeable. He paid market value, the location was safe and easy to find. I would recommend portland gold buyers over any pawn shop.

Oscar, was everything his website promised. He was knowledgeable and professional. I was very pleased with my outcome and would recommend him to anyone needing to sell gold or diamonds.

Oscar was knowledge, fast, and easy to work with. I would recommend using his company.

I need their email because some one sold gold to them that was stolen from me and my family

Oscar is prompt, knowledgable, friendly, and fair. He was patient and knowledgable, and he took the time to answer all our questions. Because he works from an office instead of a store, his clients enjoy more privacy int heir transactions. Most important, we felt we got good value for our items. We would definitely work with him again, and recommend him to others.

Oscar is fair, friendly, and professional. My recent visit to his office was a 100% positive experience. Should the need arise, Ill definitely visit him again.

I brought it some gold pieces on very short notice. Oscar completely accommodated, explained his process and was incredibly informative and fair. I left with more than I expected and will most certainly return to him in the future.

I took some broken jewelry pieces to Portland Gold Buyers based on positive reviews. The transaction was fast, straightforward, and easy. I do recommend calling first to be sure he is in his office.

Oscar helped me liquidate some items from my mothers estate. He was very professional and courteous. I would choose him again if the need arises.

Oscar is cool, polite, professional. 2 thumbs up.

Oscar was a breeze to work with, calm, competent and very fair. We would highly recommend and send our friends/associates his direction anytime they have a need!

Oscar Morante displayed professionalism and transparency when he sold a diamond and precious metals for me. Mr. Morantes ability to ascertain a quick turnaround time is paramount to this positive review. I recommend him for your precious metals and diamond conversion needs. Thanks Oscar!

I went to go shop for gold coins and bars and whoever came to the door seen I was a black man and immediately said he was on the phone and closed the door and had me in the hallway. I wouldn’t ever recommend. Blatant prejudice. I was ready to spend 5k minimum. Smh.

It was my first time that I ever sold my jewelry and I am very pleased with what Oscar Morante offered me. He meticulously examined them and told me every detail about them and he is honest and knowledgeable in his field. I also learnt the first time about the art of jewelry. But most of all he gave me the highest/best offer compare to other jewelry stores in Portland area. I definitely recommend his business to other people that I know.

Sold a gold necklace and got a fair price. Good service. Would suggest!

Oscar has a lot of knowledge about precious metals and he pays the best rates of anyone in town. Im very glad I went to see him!

Oscar did a through job of evaluating and explaining the items we brought in. HIs evaluation was professional and he paid top dollar, I would use him again...

When I went to Oscars office and he was not there I called him and got an appointment 15mins later. He was very nice and knowledgeable about the pieces I brought in. I would recommend him to anyone that wanted to sell any precious metals.

After deciding it was time to sell some gold jewelry I had been given over the years, I read online reviews and went today to Portland Gold Buyers. It was a great experience, I learned a lot about gold and stones, Oscar was super knowledgeable and helpful, and I walked away with close to $1,000-I would highly recommend him and his business!

Oscar was personable and professional. He answered all my questions about the pricing of various metals.
