The Customer Caught With His Pants Down

We purchase jewelry from the general public and often ask them to send us pictures of the items they’d like to sell before making an appointment to come by our showroom. We received a photo from a gentleman of a ring he wanted to sell, and upon closer inspection of the background of the photo, we realized he was sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles in a public restroom! — Julie Walton Garland, Walton’s Jewelry, Franklin, TN

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
