The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow coming to Hillsboro

The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow will be in Hillsboro Tuesday, Aug. 9 through Saturday, Aug. 13 looking to buy precious metals, jewelry, historical artifacts, antiques and other collectibles.
When someone brings in an item, The Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow evaluates it, makes an offer, then writes out a check sending that person home with some extra cash. Our job is to find buyers for items. We’re the middle man. We try to find someone in that market interested,” said Jeramy Weese, a show manager for the Ohio Valley Refinery & Roadshow
Weese said that when an individual brings in an item, the buyers will enter the details into their online system which connects with over 10,000 collectors. Items can range from coin collections to vintage guitars and
everything in between. “If we can get someone to generate an offer, they agree to the terms and we give them a check on the spot. However, if more than one collector is interested, the offer can go higher,” Weese said.
David Ford, a buyer for the company, said he enjoys traveling to different towns each week and finding new and interesting items. Just a few weeks back he had a woman come in who had bought a coin from the casino she worked at for a dollar the night before. She walked out that morning with a check for $50. 
So search through your closets and bring down your items to the Highland County Senior Citizens Center this week. 
Admission is free to the event. For more questions, call (217) 726-7590.
