Diamond DealerDiamondsGold DealerJewelry BuyerJewelry DesignerJewelry AppraiserWedding Jewelry
My name is Mike Jacobson, owner of Cook County Buyers Inc. I started this business over seven years ago buying diamonds and gold jewelry and have been in the business my whole life. I decided that I could do a better job than the corporate gold buyer stores, or local pawn shops and have grown into a top choice in Chicago land for individuals looking to sell their items. Everyone claims to pay the most when its time to sell gold, but I can deliver because I have zero employees, a tiny office, and minimal expenses. For Gold I work on an average profit margin of 20% to 25% - This translates into a higher payout to you, the seller, meaning if I pay you $1000 for your gold, when I sell it to the refiner, it will net me around $1200 to $1250 depending on what happens to the price of gold. Another advantage to selling gold and diamonds to Cook County Buyer, Inc. - You get to work one on one directly with me, and I will explain what your item is worth and guide you through the process without any rush or pressure. Rarely is a seller given an opportunity to sit with a knowledgeable buyer and have all of her questions answered and her items evaluated right in front of her, ending with cash in hand payment.

    I recently had some jewelry appraised by Mike, and I really liked his fair appraisal, so I decided to sell it to him. I was delighted with his service and his efficient, professional approach. He inspires confidence and shows you its value and how fair he can be with you. Not all gold buyers show you the weight of the jewelry and how much the gold is currently appraised, and this is something new I was able to see with him. I highly recommend him and would return again. Thanks for helping me Mike J.

    The process of selling my gold was exceptionally smooth and professional. The representative I met was comfortable, friendly, and highly professional, ensuring the transaction was completely seamless. I truly had the pleasure of meeting a very cool person. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to return should the opportunity arise in the future. This was a highly trustworthy and dignified transaction, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

    Today we met Mike, owner of Cook County Buyers, for the first time. We brought in all types of gold and silver pieces; watches, including a Rolex, and other one of a kind pieces for his evaluation. Mike was very up front and honest with his pricing and even took extra time to go over every single piece with us! We would highly recommend his services to others!!

    I had a great experience getting rid of jewelry that I neither wanted to wear but I knew was too valuable to throw away or give away. Mike has a seamless process that is very straightforward. He weighs out everything in front of you so you know where every number is coming from. He's a very friendly guy and very easy to talk to making everything smooth and painless.
