Blanchard Reviews

Requested a 10 ounce bar of gold at Blanchard s Gold on 9/11/06. Gold was around $600 an ounce. Was given a hard sale to buy coins instead that would be far more profitable.

Gold near $2,000 an ounce on 7/31/20. Called for the price of three coins sold to me: one for $2,760 is now worth $825; one for $2,474 is now worth $1,260; one for $2,284 is now worth $1,175.

Representatives from Blanchard have yet not given me procedures for arbitration since my numerous requests, insist their was no fraud involved and continue to use stalling techniques by not following up with what they say they will do.

Yet if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quakes like a duck...

I was looking to purchase gold to add to my diversified portfolio. This place is tops.

Save your time and money.BIG SCAM.
Total CON.
They "JIM FOURNIER" talked me into buying an antique gold coin for $1706 two years ago.
The price of gold has gone UP $220 since.
Their "BUY BACK GUARANTEE" was a bald faced LIE!
THEIR buy back price was less then $1400.
A total CON!
LESS! than the the current price of gold!
SCAM.SCAM. SCAM.
DONT FALL FOR THEIR BUY BACK GUARANTEE GARBAGE!
A pawn shop would do you BETTER.

UPDATE:THEY RESPONDED TO MY REVIEW.
I DID TALK TO GUIN ABOUT "OTHER ALTERNATIVES YESTERDAY.
SHE SAID IF I WANTED TO WAIT A FEW "MONTHS" THET MITE COULD GIVE ME "$30" MORE DOLLARS.
Ooooo. THANKS!!!
YESTERDAYS GOLD PRICE INCREASED "$32"
AS YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF.
THEY DIDN'T DISPUTE ANYTHING I SAID!!!

Like many investors in metals, I looked for a trusted, respectable seller with whom I could form a long-term relationship which would help me build a gold and silver portfolio. Blanchard gives the impression of that: professional, courteous, and responsive. They are eager to serve, as long as you are willing to buy. Just don't dare ask them to assist you in selling. Once you do, you will realize that you paid too much and have little support on selling items that were purchased as an investment.

The employees at Blanchard & Company, Inc. are truely paragons of virtue. The CEO,
Donald W. Doyle, Jr., has put together a remarkable 'Dream Team'.

I attempted to purchase some coins from this company but the representative seemed irritated that I called him and hurried me off the phone. I gave him my email address to contact me and never got a reply.
