Beautiful artwork in the business

Amazing experience! Vicky was so helpful and kind, will definitely recommend to friends.

The best place to sell gold/silver jewelry! Love the experience. Cole goes through each piece and has a unique perspective of what he thinks of the jewelry and what he would buy it for and what it Would sell for. Sometimes also helps me decide if I should keep something! My family has been coming here for years and I come from out of town as I trust what he offers. Having his adorable German shepherd in the back is always a plus too!

Their nice soothing waiting area

I swear I must always in need of cash. I find myself coming here a lot to turn my golds over for cash., and the same 2 wonderful people now know me by my first name is there to greet me with the same wonderful, cozy smile. Short chatting and remember your stories. Yet straight to the point. More money for your gold. No middle man... This time, I optioned to received my return in cash instead of check. They charged me $10. Well worth it to me. With that large amount I'm walking away with. My check would be sitting in the bank for 3 days before it clear. Umm I have things to buy. I can't wait!

It took me a little time to find a place where they buy silver (not just gold). I found it here. In a very safe area near Montford. Nice building. Free water. Quick quotes. I think they buy most monetary thing of value. Silver, gold, coins etc. Check em out if you have a ton of scrap silver like I did!

I was ready to drive away because I thought they were closed but called and they told me only the door by the ramp is open! I suggested a "use door by ramp" sign but they just laughed at me. Not only were they not very friendly. They weighed a big handful of all sterling silver (over 14 ounces!) and offered me $10, and when I complained that the going rate, as indicated online that morning, was over $2000 per ounce, they insisted that pawn shops only offer 70 cents on an ounce! And that's not the biggest rip off! I also had few small14k and one 18k gold piece to pawn - a few pieces. They offered me $300, which I also didn't think was fair. I then drove to South Charlotte Jewelry & Loan who loaned me $533 for the same gold (without the sterling silver) that Smart Pawn offered for $300!! So beware! I would never, ever go back to Smart Pawn and Jewelry again! Their prices are out of touch and they are ripping people off! At South Charlotte they were sweet as pie - like I was in a different world. They deserve your business and are only 10 to 15 minutes away from Smart Pawn but worth the drive!

Do not worry about credit checks because we don't do them. We also do not make you fill out any lengthy forms. At National Pawn & Jewelry, you will get your loan in cash in minutes. We want to earn your trust and your business. For decades we have been providing our customers outstanding higher loan values. Do you need quick cash? Come to National Pawn for a higher loan and a better deal than you will find with anyone else. We really care, which is why we loan more, and we pay more. And when National Pawn & Jewelry has possession of your valuables, we will take care of them and guard them until you come back to claim them.

We want you to be able to redeem your items and will work with you to make that a reality. It doesn't matter how little or how much you borrowed. We will work with you to redeem your items. Our decades of outstanding service tell the whole story. We are simply the best. If you find that you need money, you will get more at National Pawn & Jewelry. And when you want to purchase items, you will pay less at our many National Pawn locations.

The Central Avenue Jewelry & Pawn shop is such a representation of how the Plaza Midwood…read moreneighborhood and Charlotte as a city used to be during the '70s and '80s when there were many pawn shops and triple-x movie theatres. As Charlotte went through its boom in the '90s and '00s, many of these places disappeared as older streetcar neighborhoods gentrified at a rapid pace and were replaced by yuppiefied establishments. It is great that Central Avenue, despite the many changes of businesses that have come and gone, has been able to retain this type of business amidst the supposed upscale bars and eateries found nearby. Every time I walk past I always peer inside because there's always something interesting to look at. I recently stopped by and browsed through their assortment of items and saw that they have old estate-looking jewelry as well as random memorabilia, bicycles, musical instruments and the like. The young man working there was quite pleasant and amiable and told me that their Late Night Pawn, a well-known neighborhood joint in the rear of the building, has not been open recently due to a shortage of staff but I suspect that it is closed for other reasons. If you decide that you are interested in purchasing or pawning, there is no reason not to come here, especially since this place is not seedy like the other pawn shops remaining in Charlotte. I found a cool-looking old pendant that was well priced that I gave to a dear friend who likes these sorts of unique, and old, pieces. I give this place a 3.5 our of 5.

I brought my wedding band to this business to be re-sized. When I finally returned to pick it up,…read moreI was told it had gotten "misplaced". Because the owner and employees were very polite, I gave them an extremely generous amount of time and numerous second chances to find it; finally, many months later, it's clear they are just stonewalling, cannot find this object I entrusted them with (engraved, with sentimental value, and which my wife purchased for me for $3,400), but refuse to file an insurance claim (after telling me many months ago they would, if necessary). Now I'm told they want ME to file a claim on MY Homeowner's Insurance, which is ridiculous and which my agent verified. Even though the employee I spoke with today (whose name I shall withhold here at least at this time) claimed to have the ability to hack into my personal financial information on the computer, and threatened to do so, after I explained that I would be taking this very step in posting my experiences, I am doing this anyway because I think this business's practices should be exposed. (I wouldn't want to be him after his statement if it turns out, coincidentally or otherwise, that I ever DO get hacked.) Be VERY wary about who you entrust your valuables with; based on my experience I STRONGLY suggest you avoid Central Avenue Jewelry & Pawn.
