I went into Renee's Fine Jewelry on December 17 to sell some old gold jewelry that I no longer wear. Some were broken and others were just out of style. They separated the jewelry into two categories, 10 karat gold and 14 karat gold. I had a fair amount of jewelry to sell and thought that it would be a decent sum.
After it was separated and weighed, Renee offered me $800 for the gold. I was a little startled and it must have shown in my face. She said in a very demeaning voice "you think that you would get more for this?" I was considering accepting her offer until her ugly comment. I told her that I would consider the offer and left.
I knew of another store in downtown Southport and went there to sell my gold. They operated about the same. Separated the gold again and weighed it. When they were done, I was offered $1200 for the jewelry. I sold the entire lot to Cape Fear Jewelers immediately.
Renee Ward tried to rip me off of $400 on my gold. This is a small town and I will definitely tell everybody that I know about her business practices!!!
