My name is Mike Jacobson, owner of Cook County Buyers Inc.
I started this business over seven years ago buying diamonds and gold jewelry and have been in the business my whole life. I decided that I could do a better job than the corporate gold buyer stores, or local pawn shops and have grown into a top choice in Chicago land for individuals looking to sell their items. Everyone claims to pay the most when its time to sell gold, but I can deliver because I have zero employees, a tiny office, and minimal expenses.
For Gold I work on an average profit margin of 20% to 25% - This translates into a higher payout to you, the seller, meaning if I pay you $1000 for your gold, when I sell it to the refiner, it will net me around $1200 to $1250 depending on what happens to the price of gold.
Another advantage to selling gold and diamonds to Cook County Buyer, Inc. - You get to work one on one directly with me, and I will explain what your item is worth and guide you through the process without any rush or pressure. Rarely is a seller given an opportunity to sit with a knowledgeable buyer and have all of her questions answered and her items evaluated right in front of her, ending with cash in hand payment.

- PSPamela S1 day ago5.0I took several pieces of jewelry to Mike and he gave me a fair price for them. In the past I’d sold other pieces on eBay and Mike gave me what I would have gotten there, but without me having to pay eBay their commission and fees!
- BWBrenda Walus3 days ago5.0Read the reviews and made an appointment. I agree with what others wrote about being easy to work with. The information I was given matched with what I found online and I learned a couple new things too. Highly appreciated. Would definitely recommend.
- ANAli NelsonDec 16, 20255.0Mike was amazing to work with! He made the process of selling my engagement ring quick, easy, and completely stress-free. He was professional, honest, and gave me cash on the spot, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Highly recommend Mike if you’re looking for fast and fair service!
- RPRobert PucilloDec 10, 20255.0I had an excellent experience selling a couple of watches with Mike. He was honest, straightforward, and very transparent throughout the entire process. He carefully inspected each piece, explained how he arrived at the pricing, and offered fair, competitive rates. Even when a small issue was discovered with one of the watches, he still gave me a very reasonable price. The whole transaction was smooth, respectful, and professional. I highly recommend Mike if you’re looking for a trustworthy buyer!
- LSLeah SpencerNov 25, 20255.0If you are reading this review to decide if you should mail your most prized jewelry across the country to a man you have never met or spoken to....you have come to the rt place! Recently, I put a LOT of very expensive jewelry into a box and shipped it to Michael. I've never met him. We communicated via text message only. I had chocolate diamonds, LeVian, rainbow sapphires, Tag Heuer, Movado, tanzanite...so much. I had rare pieces that were part of a limited collection. I had all the paperwork with them. I put it ALL in a box and shipped it across the country. Michael was very professional. He was kind. He did everything he said he was going to do and he guided me through my part. He wasn't ever pushy, or shady. His payment was prompt. I never had to nag him and ask him if he got the package or if he was gonna pay me. I had one ring that was bought at Jared's and they told me it was white gold, it is even on the receipt. He used his xray gun on it and it was pure silver. That x-ray gun was so cool! He sent me a video of the scan. Jared's lied. I went to the store last week to inquire about it, bc I know they lied...and the sales lady agreed. They "mismarked" it....even though the price was not "mismarked". LOL! Anyway, if you need to sell your jewelry and you simply cannot bring yourself to mail it across the country....live a little. YOLO! He is not paying me to write this, I am writing it for ppl like you that need reassurance before you jump off the tallest mountain without a parachute! I will be your parachute. 3.......2........1.......GO!
