Initially there was a mishap here at elite pawn and I purchased a necklace that turned out to be…read moreless carrots than what the purchase price indicated, and in a knee jerk reaction I posted a bad review on this company and it sat here on Yelp for 3 years, and I have to be brutally honest about the fact that I feel guilty for that review because I honestly did not give them the opportunity to make things right with me before I wrote that review and I could have in hindsight brought it back to them and they would have gave me every penny back that I lost it's obvious that they purchased the necklace that was tested using the old acid test method which had its deficiencies, they now use a element analyzer that they invested at least $20,000 in and it allows them to analyze gold and each of its elements in the gold that give it its carrot designation and for that reason and several others they are Now experts at analyzing gold when it comes off the streets , better than they ever were before ,they have made their entire process much more efficient and accurate and if I'm honest with myself and the community I have to admit that after reading the return policy at elite pawn, and to be fair, they have a better return policy than any other pawn shop I've ever seen but yet and still I was concerned that if I was honest with them about the fact that I had that the chain tested and it wasn't the carrot designation that I purchased the chain at, I was worried that elite pawn would not give me my money back, and the reality of the situation is irrespective of that I should have gave them the opportunity to make things right before I wrote a review and for that reason alone I am publicly eating crow at this moment and I am feeling very guilty in this moment because 3 years later I reached out to Moe and tried to express my standing on the situation and Moe and the rest of elite pawns ownership had no contractual duty to refund me anything in that moment however ,they did, and it shocked me because I'm not used to seeing businesses that are obviously trying to survive in a rough economy out here like everybody else, still go the extra mile like that for a guy that in reality didn't deserve it because I left a review on Yelp for 3 years that I should have not written , until I gave them and honest and fair opportunity to make things right .....I just assumed that they wouldn't make things right because I'm jaded like everybody else out here and I've been done bad by so many companies that I just didn't think that one would actually do me right and it was for that predisposed bias from past experiences that I didn't give them a chance and you know what that's on me because they did make things right with me and they paid me every penny I lost and so for that reason alone I am publicly saying I believe this company is solid company they employ people in the neighborhood that desperately need jobs with living wages they bring commerce and economy and funds into a community that is struggling and they're just generally good people I mean when I went in there last night to pick up the remaining $1,200 that I lost on the purchase of a chain I fully expected the staff members and the owner and everybody to be mad at me and and not treat me with much hospitableness however even that predisposed expectation was erroneous because they were nice to me even when I didn't deserve it and so they're very courteous they're very professional and stand up guys they're always happy in there and they're always nice and I honestly feel ashamed for writing a bad review on this company I would advise anybody that needs gold or would like a pair of Jordans , want a loan , or for any reason ,, to go to elite pawn shop,, these are good people, these people are solid, and I was out of pocket for writing anything bad about them ...the ownership in the management in this company are excellent and I wish I would have never wrote anything bad about them and I intend to do business with them in the future they were gracious enough to allow me to come back in there and still do business with them and I intend to I would recommend anybody that needs anything that they provide to go in there and get it because these people bring jobs and money into our communities I am sorry I wrote anything bad about them,.

I guess I interrupted her day because she proceeded to look down her nose at me, and only give me short, snide answers to my questions. I asked her if she could do any better than $25 for my gun and she looked at me like I was speaking Elven! This is a normal question that a pawn shop worker (oh excuse me, the owners DAUGHTER) should be used to answering. Then I stumbled over a large item in their floor and she LAUGHED! She was rude and mean and I truly hope her and her "momma at the other store" go bankrupt. Please don't shop here Centralia. I'm not the only one that they have done wrong, but I hope to be the last.

I went in there with my wife and daughter , my wife looking for an Nintendo switch remotes , and I…read morelooking for a new shot gun. (Keep in mind we are latinos and both serving in the military)Walked in the lady infront was super nice , welcomed us amazinglady , we walked around and found the switch remotes we wanted . So we walked to the gun counter saw the shot gun and 2 other weapons I've been looking for a while waiting for at least 20 min to get helped and the guy has seen us and just walked away after we made eye contact. After a while of waiting he came back . I was going to buy all three wepons and the Nintendo switch remotes but im not sure if its with what is going on with I.C.E or what ever . The guy at the gun counter was a straight ass hole being rude to my wife when we would ask questions. I assumed he was having a bad day so we brushed it off . So when I asked to see one of the wepons I was interested in , right when I asked , another gentleman same race as him " white". The worker straight ignores me mid sentence and immediately offers the other guy to hold/see a wepon when we have been waiting for a good minute and where ready to buy . So immediately I noticed it was a race thing because when I told my wife let's leave ,she questioned me if I was going to get them after all and I told her no because we just waisted time there because immediately the vibe changed and we where not offered to see or hold the wepon but to the other guy right away he was offeredsnd his mood switched up so quickly, so we'll just buy else where . And I said it loud so the worker can hear me and when he looked at us , he laughed n said " we don't like your kind anyway " under his breath. Keep in mind a grown ass man acting like a kid so we just left . So therefore I wouldn't recommend this place at all save your money and time and try somewhere else . We drove 30 min here just to get treated like this . Super bad customer service on his end
