SPOILER: High prices for used products, sometimes higher than buying the item new!…read more I love pawn shops, and I found this one randomly on a bike ride across Esquimalt road one day after work. The store is actually really nice. Very good selection of guitars, tools, tvs, electronics etc, and tons of watches. They had some cool products, but being a knowledgeable consumer I was shocked at their super inflated pricing. Used G-shocks for $100+ I saw a citizen eco-drive for $525. You can easily purchase an eco-drive on amazon for less than $150. Very nice ones for less than $300. Used Swiss army knives for $30+, when you can easily buy them new at MEC, Ebay, Amazon for less or equal money. I could go into many more examples, but suffice to say in my opinion, the store was vastly overpriced for used items. If you shop here, make sure you know what you're buying because otherwise you'll end up paying more to buy it used than new.

They rudely accused me of being aggressive when my glasses fogged up, and told me I've been in telling him sob stories when I haven't been in the store in years. He then told me I was being ridiculous, and even said I was ridiculous to try and sell a camera so I can feed my kids! While I dont mind that he didnt want my item, all he had to say was "Nk thank you ma'am, I'm sorry " or whatever, not accuse me of bringing in garbage and basically throw me out! Looks like the ancient dinosaur that runs this place needs to retire.

He has a large array for sale, and there is a lot more than you see in the store. If you like Britains, this is the dealer for Vancouver Island,BC. Mike also collects other toys, models and is a huge Viewmaster enthusiast. It is a well organized and decent pawn shop, and doesn't have that smarmy feel a lot of them do. Worth a look inside if you're in the neighborhood. I'm not a gun fan, and kind of wish they didn't carry them. Just my personal opinion! A great place to visit!

About a month ago, I went into Bayside, coin and jewelry to sell a gold necklace and some silver…read morecoins. He said that silver wasn't selling now due to some thing with the refinery, so I set them down on the counter while he assessed the gold necklace he offered me amount that I trusted him with giving me a true value. I found out later that it was way under them. Anyway I didn't do my due diligence so anyway it's my fault too but I'm not the one who stole when he paid me he laid out the money and I wanted him to recount it and when he did the $20 bill fell out in the middle I believe he was trying to pass $20 is $100 bill when I was leaving I noticed the coins were at on the counter and I assumed I put them in my bag when I got home they were not there there's only one other place it could be in that was their store I called them and they had a big resistance to my claim they finally agreed to show me the video when I came in it was blurry and black-and-white and her finger was extracting some of the view and also her fingers was on the air where I could probably see what happened I mentioned that and she just went on ignoring me I left very unsatisfied so I called and asked if I can bring someone with me to look at the video together as I've seen that video before and it was very sharp and in color and I knew I saw something on was on the area where I could probably see whether the quee I called back and said I wanted to bring someone with me to watch the video I believe they took a vantage of me because I'm a senior and they probably didn't think I would be aware of what was happening they didn't want me to bring any buddy else they were very rude and they have absolutely no customer service ability I looked on the stock market yesterday and the value of the silver coins were $87 each so they were value as close to $1000 and there's really nothing I could do about it. I talked to a few people about this and they said well they've changed management. But this is a family business my best guess is that they switch managers managements between the family, which makes it looks like it was under new management and you can trust them I think when it gets too hot, they put managements name in another relatives, leaving the impression that it would be a better.
