Wow these guys are a joke, Complete jokes who just expect to make money off people that are unreasonably desperate for money to begin with, So I went into this pawn shop today with 3 items hoping just to get a small $50 dollar loan. I had a Brand New Casio G-shock watch, A $300 Bulova watch and a set of lock picks, The Man at the front proceeded to tell me they arent currently doing loans on watches but he would be interested in buying them possibly for the right price. He looked at the Bulova watch and said he probably wouldnt be interested in that one I said its a 300 dollar watch and he said no its not, I instructed him to look at the price tag on the back of the box, his words were "oh well usually the price tags arent correct" this didnt make much sense to me usually the price tags arent correct?? he then said okay let me take the G shock watch and the lock picks to the boss in the back and see what hes willing to pay, By this point I knew this guy or pawn shop for that matter arent very serious and I wasnt even willing to sell my items to begin with but decided to let him give me a quote anyway, So about 5 minutes later the boss comes out slightly laughing, hands me me lock picks and says "Im not interested, I can buy a brand new set online for $25" I told him I didnt intend to sell him my lock picks and that I had came in to simply try and get a small $50 dollar loan for 3 items with a combined value of about $350 dollars. He said "okay and handed me my lock picks I asked him to please bring my G Shock watch back. So about 2 minutes later the other employee comes out from the back with my G shock watch he makes a strange face and says "well this is a decent watch but lets face it G-Shocks just arent really in style today" I then said well this is the same watch Eminem wears? the boss then came over and said " Ill give you $25 dollars for it even though I should really only being paying $10-15 for this. At this point I started to find these guys to be humorous I said "how about $30" The boss then said "no $25 and walked away" the other employee still holding my watch said "what did the boss offer you" I said "$25" he goes you should take it man normally we only pay 10-15 dollars for G-Shocks so $25 is a great deal really. I then thanked him for his time and said that Ill pass and could easily sell this watch for over $50 on ebay. Now just when I think things are over the employee drops my watch on the cement floor behind the counter!! HE didnt apologize or anything. At this this point I said are you serious this is a brand new watch he just picked it up and handed it to me and didnt say a word, I noticed a nice scuff/scratch on my brand new watch now and said look now its scratched and he said "no that wasnt from that, we actually noticed that scratch before when we were inspecting it in backroom" At this point I had enough I took my watch and left and decided these guys are absolutely deserving of a bad review! They shouldnt even be called a pawn shop because they dont really pawn anything they just assume that everyone is willing to sell items worth a hundred to a couple of hundred dollars for $10-$30

I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to sell/pawn or buy items! They will actually take the time to research an item if your selling, and they will give you a good price for it. The gentlemen working at the counter was very nice and professional, the owner whom I spoke with briefly was as well! Ill definitely go back as I have other items Im looking to sell!

Always were nice to me. Wish they paid more for somethings, but we always made a deal.
