Buyer - Purchasing - Full Time

Unique product sales opportunity for a dynamic, friendly, and engaging salesperson. The Heartland Roadshow, established in 2009, is a premier buyer of estate jewelry, precious metals, gold and silver coins, antiques, and collectibles. We set up scheduled Regional acquisition events locations throughout the region, where customers come to sell us their estate items - primarily gold, silver, coins, and watches, collectables and antiques. This is an acquisition-focused role where success is measured by the quality and volume of inventory purchased rather than traditional outbound sales. No cold calling, no prospecting, and no high-pressure sales - just a friendly and informative process. Our robust, fully paid five‑week training program focuses on industry‑standard techniques for identifying and authenticating precious metals. No jewelry buying experience is necessary - we provide full training. The most important quality we are looking for is the ability to connect effectively with customers.

Buyers will be assigned to shows both within their home region and in locations that require extended travel. Week 1 typically runs Tuesday-Saturday

Week 2 typically runs Monday-Friday

Buyers should expect to travel approximately two weeks each month. Travel is fully paid - both your time, as well as all travel expenses. Travel may include assignments outside your home region where flights and lodging will be arranged. During these travel periods, your scheduled days off will be spent in the destination city. While you’ll have free time to explore or rest, flying home for personal obligations during off-days is not logistically feasible. When assigned to shows within your home region, travel is typically done using your own reliable transportation. These assignments may offer more personal scheduling flexibility with advance notice and alignment with business needs.
