"My Bride had an old gold watch that she didn't wear anymore. Mark not only offered us 7.67% more than others had offered, but he said he would pay us extra if he sold it for more than anticipated. He even met us at our own bank. So ethical and professional!"

Why Buy Your Gold From Me

Low overhead means low premiums

We're not a storefront chain with rent and payroll to cover. My wife Susan and I work by appointment, not out of a retail storefront. The overhead we don't pay is premium you don't pay.

45 years in precious metals

I've bought and sold gold since 1979 and was named WCCO TV's #1 appraiser. I know exactly what I'm handing you, and I'll explain it plainly.

Real gold, in your hands, today

No order queues. No "allocated" paper claims. No waiting on a shipment. You take physical possession of your metal the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy from a local dealer instead of online?

You inspect the metal before you pay, you get answers from a person, and you have a buyer already lined up for the day you want to sell. There is also no shipping risk and no waiting. The premium difference is usually small, and I'll beat any written local quote regardless.

How long has the business been operating?

I have traded precious metals in the Twin Cities since 1979. Gold Buyers Twin Cities is a division of Landmark Diamonds and Precious Metals, Inc. I'm a GIA certified appraiser, was named WCCO TV's number one appraiser, and the business is BBB accredited.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are preferred so we can give you our full attention and have the products you want ready and priced. Call ahead at (612) 802-9686. We are at 6528 W Lake St in St. Louis Park, Monday through Saturday.

Do you sell and buy, or only one?

Both. We have bought gold, silver and diamonds in this metro for over forty years, and we sell physical gold to buyers as well. That two-way business is exactly why you always have a place to sell what you bought from us.

Can you help me decide what to buy?

That is most of the conversation. I'll ask what you are trying to accomplish, how long you expect to hold, and whether you might need to sell in pieces β€” then recommend accordingly. Sometimes that means recommending the cheaper option. Call and ask me.

Do you handle large or unusual transactions?

Yes. For larger purchases we will meet you at your bank so the metal goes directly into your safe deposit box. We have handled estate purchases, IRA-directed buys and multi-bar orders. Nothing is too big or too small β€” call and describe what you need.

Buying Gold From a Local Dealer

American Gold Eagle bullion coin in macro detail

Buying gold online means wiring money to a company you have never met and waiting for a package. It works, usually. But you have no way to inspect what you bought until it arrives, no one to ask questions of, and no one to sell it back to who knows you.

A local dealer changes all of that. You see the metal before you pay. You ask the questions you would feel silly typing into a chat window. And when you want to sell β€” in two years or twenty β€” you walk back into the same office and deal with the same person.

I have been doing this in the Twin Cities since 1979. I'm a GIA certified appraiser, was named WCCO TV's number one appraiser, and I run the business with my wife Susan by appointment out of St. Louis Park. That is deliberate: low overhead is what lets me keep premiums tight and still beat other local quotes.

We serve buyers throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, Edina, Bloomington, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Woodbury, Maple Grove, Plymouth, Eagan and the surrounding metro. Call (612) 802-9686 and talk to Mark directly.
