I was visiting Action Pawn, just looking around for anything that caught my eye. As usual, they didn't have a good selection. As I was leaving, a man walked in with a Schecter guitar and an old Line 6 amp. It was a beautiful guitar, but nothing that I would be interested in buying. I have an extensive guitar collection, and I'm only interested in rare guitars at this point. This man's guitar was pretty, but not rare. I asked the man if I could look at it. He handed me the guitar, and I told him it was nice. I thanked him for letting me look at it, and as I was handing it back to him, the owner of Action Pawn, a large Baby Huey-looking dude with near-zero communication skills, took the guitar from my hand and ordered me to leave the store. Surprised by this, I asked him what the problem was. He would not give me an answer. Apparently, he thought I was trying to buy the guitar from the man. He didn't bother to ask me. I said, "Dude, I'm not trying to buy the guitar. I simply asked if I could see it. I have no interest in owning that guitar." Baby Huey then told me again to leave the store, which I did. It was a weird and unnecessary situation.
This is my advice to anyone considering visiting or selling anything to Action Pawn in Easley, SC, don't do it. Baby Huey is known for paying the lowest prices for items brought into the store and selling them at much higher prices. Other pawn shops in the area offer fair prices and have a much better selection. The people working at the other pawn shops are much nicer and fairer to their customers, whether you want to sell or buy something. I suppose Action Pawn stays in business to serve the less educated, more desperate, and poorer part of the population in that part of town.
Do yourself a favor and avoid Action Pawn in Easley, SC. Instead, visit one of the other, nicer pawn shops in the area. It's better to deal with more knowledgeable and fair-minded store owners than the low-intelligence Baby Huey that owns Action Pawn. There is a good pawn shop only a few miles from Action Pawn, located between Easley and Pickens on Hwy 8. Greenville has some great pawn shows with fair prices and great selections. Whether buying or selling items, go to where you will be treated most fairly. Avoid Action Pawn at all costs. As long as Baby Huey can deal with the more desperate people in the area, he will, and they will be the ones missing out on being treated more fairly for failing to visit the other pawn shops in the area first. If you have junk you want to unload, then Action Pawn may be the store for you. But if you have nice items that still have real value, do yourself a favor and avoid Action Pawn. Take your items to one of the other stores that will appreciate your business and give you a fair price for your items.
I gave Action Pawn one star because they did not have a half-star option. Even then, a half-star would be too high. read more
