SilverTowne...anyone buy from or visit their showroom?

Just curious about SilverTowne. Anybody ever go to their showroom or buy from them? Silver looks cheap there compared to other silver websites. It's not actually close to me but I have friends close to their showroom. Curious before I make a decision to check them out in person.

My dad and I buy from SilverTowne online a lot (both through their website, and through their Ebay store). Never been to their physical location though.

We've always been happy with their service -- I don't know about their Customer Service though, as neither of us have ever had a problem that necessitated reaching out to them.

never been to their store but have bought from them many times online without a problem

always their brand name donkey bars

with free shipping on their branded products they beat anywhere ive found

they give a break for paying by check too

my orders are small though

I live less than 30 minutes away. It's always nice to run up there just to drool over the displays. Staff is generally friendly although not always knowledgeable depending on who you get. I'm not trying to pick on them. They have to deal with a lot of dregs trying to sell stolen coins/jewelry all the time since they are so well known in the area. They make the paper every once in a while when druggies try to fence their stolen goods there. Great place to get numismatic supplies. Their custom bars and rounds are neat for gifts. No foreign junk bin at least whenever I've gone.

i buy from them online, but i've never been to Winchester...my college freshman roommate was from there. Just knowing him made me think there was no reason to ever visit the place lol. Of course, that was many years before i started stacking silver.
