Review №1

After I was told by 2 different staff members that all vinyls were $2 and that they had been $10 but were lowered to the $2 price. I asked if they had more, I was shown the collection, I searched through hundreds for hours. When I was complete I waited for another 30 minutes to find out almost all the records I was interested in were well over 50$ some reaching several hundred. I am understand and had I not been told the $2 price multiple times I wouldn’t have argued it. I even asked if I could have a deal if I bought a bunch and still they said $2 a piece. After the whole ordeal I left with 2 records still totaling $18+. There were no accommodations made and the owner was rather rude. I will not be going back and I do not recommend.

Price gouging, rude and blatantly lie. This is the pawnshop that gives all other pawnshops a bad name.

BEWARE, STORE STOLE $100 FROM ME!!!I put $100 down on a .410 shotgun for my son. we ended up not being able to come back for awhile. I went in the shop today, and with the time that had passed, I didnt assume the same gun would be there, but that I could use the $100 towards a different gun. the owner then informed me that I had forfeited my money. this was news to me. while I didnt expect to get my cash back after that much time had passed, I did expect to be able to use that money, (my money), towards the purchase of something else in his store. Apparently if you miss a layaway payment, by even 1 day, you forfeit all of that money to him! He takes your money, and you get nothing. Apparently the owner believes this to be fair and just. I give a person $100 towards an item, the person with the item sells the item to someone else. person with item decides to keep your money also. Getting paid twice for an item must nice! in my opinion, what do they call s person who takes your money and gives nothing in return?

I over heard the owner telling an acquaintance of mine that if someone walked in there with a (legally carried and holstered) gun that he would immediately shoot them and then hide all the evidence that the person wasnt a threat and possessed the gun in a legal and non threatening form and then set it up to make it look like they tried to rob him. I will never shop at this anti-Constitutional pawn shop again. Especially considering the owner sells guns himself. Big fat F- -

This store is one of the worst stores I have ever been to. The people working there are profane, the service is horrible, and they sell fakes. I have never made a worse purchase than the one I made here. The man at the counter assured me the coins I bought were real, then I go home and realize theyre not, and they have a no return policy. The man also said they had some of the coins that I was looking for but would not bring them out. I would go to any other pawn shop than this one.

Went in to browse cause Id never been in there before & also asked for a simple quote on how much theyre paying for 90% junk silver & was asked what denomination, told them dimes, quarters & halves.......got a 5Xs face when everyone else is paying a minimum of 10Xs if not 11Xs & was rude about it even when he was told a large amount & talking sh** as I was walking out the door, thats why I dont like giving qutoes cause there might be something salvageable.........IF ITS JUNK SILVER, ITS NOTHING OF VALUE OVER SILVER SPOT.......now either they dont know the business or theyre the prime example of what gives pawnshops a bad name, you pick.....Since I cant actually do a reply, heres an edit........anywhere else Ive EVER asked, theyve always been able to give a quote on 90% junk silver, even over the phone let alone in person without seeing it, even right here in town (wont name names because of that sake) but junk silver is that, junk silver nothing special like a 21 mercury or 16 D mercury or a 32 D or S Washington & theyd never be in a roll of junk silver coins........for the record, junk silver is meaning common date silver dimes, quarters or half dollars......if you happen to find a rare date in there, you got lucky......also I dont know of anyone whod put a rare date in there, so what you told me in person versus now on here tells me youre trying to low ball me, as I said walking out what everyone knows, buy low/ sell high.........thank you but I wont be back ever, 1st time in & 1st impression & you managed to burn this bridge......kudos to you
