Great prices and all round great service

To be honest, one should stay clear of this place. We were quoted over the phone for over 2 dollars a pound for various silver plated alloys and when we arrived it was much different. We overheard what seemed to be the manager/owner on the floor say to his employees to "add them to the brass pile". So basically we ended up getting only slightly over a dollar a pound. In other words he pulled a fast one on the floor. It is possible whoever quoted us was not aware of this person's practice or various employees for that matter.When he was confronted about why he charged us on the brass price, his face dropped like a deer in head lights and became very defensive, including snapping the receipt from the person I was with. I guess it is easy to be tough with a woman. Also he became belligerent and resorted to many insults/obscenities towards the woman I was with (Very professional if you ask me!), and claimed he had "millions". Well it makes you wonder why a so called millionaire is workin
