Sale of non authentic goods without warning
WARNING: Do not trust this store's "expert authentication." I bought a £780 Omega Seamaster Professional from them, only to find out later during an independent inspection that the internal movement had been replaced with a non-original ETA 255 part. They failed to disclose this. I sent them a formal complaint with photographic evidence under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and they have completely ignored me for over two weeks. Avoid them, or get your purchases independently checked immediately.

Excellent
I went into the Macclesfield branch this morning, I was extremely pleased and surprised with the amount I was offered for my few pieces of gold jewellery. The young lady who served me was so helpful, polite and professional. I definitely recommend visiting H&T Macclesfield.

BAD ATTITUDE & POOR KNOWLEDGE
I walked into the Rose Hill shop and behind the counter was the most miserable pair of ignorant people I have met in a long time.
They didn't want to engage and questions if answered were words of one syllable.
I thought I had walked into a funeral parlour!
The item I wanted to get a price on was a hall marked 9ct gold gold sovereign case.
Not plated or rolled but the genuine article.
The young Indian chap who was serving me just look at me and didn't want to know.
He couldnt open it even though I tried to show him then took a magnet which of course stuck to the stainless steel pin of the hinge and said its not gold?
I said all gold and silver items especiall pocket watches all have steel pins in the hinge as soft metal would not last 5 seconds.
He just would not have it that it was gold.
He just put it back into the pouch and gave it back turning his head.
I lost it big time and said he was clueless.

First time
First time I’ve ever been to a pawnbrokers & I must say how well I was looked after.
The cashier who looked after me explained everything that I needed to know & when I asked questions she answered very professionally.
A very nice cup of coffee by the way

DO NOT sell them your scrap gold
I visited H & T Pawnbrokers Watford High St
I had a small amount of scrap gold (broken rings/bracelets) that had been gathering dust in a drawer.
So browsed the internet for scrap gold price (i appreciate the price is not the same as on the high st)
Walked into town with a low figure in mind.
No complaints about the staff BUT £11 a gram for scrap gold is an absolute joke(although not a funny one)
Walked a few hundred yards up the road to a reputable jewellers Jacksons where they offered me £26 a gram .
