I went to see Recycle frog when they held a gold & silver session in Carp. I was NOT impressed with their representative at all.
They might be OK for run-of-the-mill, modern precious metal items, but do NOT waste your time taking any unmarked antiques, such as ancient silverware.
Their rep tried to tell me that the ONLY way to determine an unmarked item's silver content was to do a destructive acid test.
An acid test is OK for scrap metals, but not for an item that may have more value than its metal content, if sold as an antique.
I asked why they couldn't use specific gravity - after all, Archimedes figured this out over 2000 years ago and I would expect someone in the precious metal appraising business to at least have heard about specific gravity before - but apparently not this guy!
When I tried to explain what specific gravity meant, his snarky comment was "do you see any water water here?"
Well, OK then!
To be fair, they deal mainly with scrap metals and I did show up only a few minutes before their closing time, but nevertheless; I would have expected more expertise and a somewhat more polite and professional reply.
Hi Jonathan,As the hosted opntois from Microsoft are free (or considerably cheaper) compared to on-premise installations, then we have taken the view to support these first as one would expect most schools to make the most of those savings. Local Exchange support is something under consideration but has not been prioritised as it stands today. We'll see what the uptake of the cloud-based variants are like first and then take a decision from there.
I couldn't have been more impressed with the service that I received from David Martinket, one of the partners at Recycle Frog in Ottawa. He put me at ease, explained everything, and took me through the entire process. Not only was I shocked at the amount that I received for what I thought would be worth nothing, but I also left feeling totally confident that I received the best price possible. Fred in Ottawa.
Ok, so Recycle Frog isn't a jeweler - they buy and recycle your old, unwanted jewellery and pay you more for it than anywhere else in the city. Everyone 'says' they pay more... Recycle Frog does. They are the largest and most trusted Gold and Silver Buyer in Ottawa. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.
