<p>Uncle Ralph is the go-to person for selling your goods if you live in El Cerrito. His store has been in business for over half a century, since 1955. It is also one of the longest-standing businesses in El Cerrito, passed down for three generations from father to son, and then taken over in 1993 by Uncle Ralph.</p> <p>The store itself is in a historic-looking building near the Cerrito movie theater. The agents here -- Ralph, Vito, Big Chris and Irish Ray -- are serious about their business. They specialize in jewelry and gold, but will purchase almost anything of value. There are some guitars here as well, and they do jewelry repair on most any brand.</p>
