I had dealt with pawn king many times it was a great place to do buisness when the pekin store was open friendly and fair?the last two times I went to the peoria location the cheapskate manager low balled me by hundreds of dollars on two firearms I was trying to get loans on firearms hold their value indefinetely,I was also getting info on putting a PS5 on lay away while I was there which was $900,so by the fool being cheap and trying to pinch a penny it coasted him over 900 dollars in the long run,I will not be doing buisness there ever again!

Every single time I find myself in pawn king... which is a LOT mind you lol... they’re nothing short of amazing!!! As a life long, professional musician I’ve dealt with countless pawn shops over the years & pawn king HANDS DOWN is the most fair & even more important... the most trusting place I’ve ever done business with... there’s truly no equal!!!

I only have one complain. Service is good but if you pawn a fire arm it takes about 2 hours to release it back to you because employee have to contact the manager who is at his home to get permission from him to release your fire arm . when they call his house he may or may not answer right away, therefore you are in the store waiting to receive a call from him, otherwise service is good.

Review №19

I loaned a 2 DS xL here and I just have to say I will never be coming here again I came in and paid for my 2 DS and didnt realize it was broken until I got home and tried to play on it. The lights still work but the screen no longer turns on. I dont know what happened to it but they said they cant do anything about it and they dont know what happened. When I took my ds in it worked perfectly and now the screen doesnt even come on at all i have shopped here and loaned here before and never had any problems. But this time it seems like someone dropped my ds or something and wouldnt take accountability for it. Very unsatisfied

I hadn’t sold items at a pawnshop before and I found the staff hard to deal with. The guy working wouldn’t tell me what they would buy the items for unless I stated what I thought they were worth first and of course his counter response was much lower. His general demeanor was also rude throughout the transaction. What’s the problem with just being straightforward with customers? Will definitely try to avoid dealing with this business and pawnshops in general again.

My faith has been restored.Its been a little over a year now since I posted a review. I was so upset but I remind a loyal customer. I havent had any issues since. I love buying their Jewelry and if I need a quick loan They granted half of what you pay.

Review №22

Im a disabled vet and the owner here is extremely rude. I took my friend here to sell some stuff. I wasnt wearing a mask because I have really bad PTSD. Originally they said it was fine if I had a doctors note I just had to show it I didnt realize I didnt have my wallet so I go out to the car... When I come in a customer was harassing me for being parked in the handicap spot. I told him Im a disabled vet its clearly stated on my plates. So I go up to the front to show my note for not wearing the mask the guy who runs it tells me its the law I have to wear a mask or get out. And then he denied to buy my friends stuff and tells her to try and sell it somewhere else. Very unprofessional.

I have been a customer for years and have seen people come and go; the great deals are endless.I recommend the Jewelry. I found some beautiful rings for a great prices . I was amazed that Fine jewelry would be priced and sold at 1/3 lower, cost compared to major competitors. Customer services could be better.

Managers are very rude and disrespectful when explaining policies. Employees tell you that if something does not work and you get bring it back to get your money back and then when you do they tell you, we can give you store credit. That false advertising by an employee!

The workers are kind and nice And very professional! They try very hard to help you as much as they can. Key factors are you must own your item, they dont quote price over the phone very much because of the above reason and wether it is resaleable. Once there these guys and gals are really friendly and caring and will try to be fair.

Review №69

They tried telling me my 1,200 vintage guitar is worth $100. I showed them listings of my exact guitar and they just ignored it and wouldn’t even look. They obviously were looking at the wrong guitar and have zero knowledge in instruments. Don’t waste your time trying to sell here. Know the value of your stuff so you don’t get scammed.

I am big on receivinggreat customer service. I cannot say enough good things about Pawn King in Peoria. Every time I go here, whether its a sale, pawn, layaway, etc., I can always count on getting the best deal, in a quick and personable way. Managers have went out of their way to accommodate my requests many times, and Ive received special treatment, even without asking for anything. They are tops, for sure. I would recommend this pawn shop to anyone.

Make sure u check your item & if u cant inthe store get 48 hours to bring back for cash refund make them type it on the receipt cause they buy stuff without checking it first & without all the pieces to the item then when they find out they say they will sell it to the next person & wont give money back it will be as is & check your money cause they will pass off torn bills wont go there again bad business!!!

I took in a full length fur coat to sell and the guy came over and said we dont buy coats.....yet on the wall, they had a selection of coats. Nasty coats, but coats.The guy lied. If a pawn shop likes outright like that, theyve lost my business.No good.
