Enya Hannah & Daniel are the staff that makes a business run itself. Best pawn shop hands down. 10/10 recommend. read more

Chesapeake Square Pawn - Pawn Shops Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I had a very frustrating experience at Chesapeake Square Pawn. The wait time was extremely long, and there didn't seem to be any sense of urgency or organization among the staff. It appeared that many of the employees were new and unsure of what they were doing, which made the process even slower and more confusing. What really stood out to me was the inconsistency in their pricing. Designer items were quoted significantly lower than expected--far less than what I was offered for gold and silver. That lack of balance and knowledge in evaluating items was disappointing and made me question their expertise. Customer service overall was poor. The staff was not very attentive or welcoming, and there was little effort to make customers feel comfortable during the long wait. If you're going to have people waiting for extended periods, there should at least be basic accommodations like seating, Wi-Fi, or access to a public restroom. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional, unorganized, and lacking in proper customer care. I would not recommend this location based on my second and final visit. read more

Daniel was excellent and had wonderful customer service skills. Everyone was very friendly and greeted each customer as they entered the business. I have purchased here before and the staff is always amazing and the products are reasonably priced and good quality They are the best!!! read more

Another Great experience visiting the folks at CSP, especially so with Enya giving her time and attention to see that my visit was Perfect!!!!! read more

Do not pawn your guns here. I went in to pay to get my gun out of the pawn shop. I provided my driver's license, which is out of state because I'm prior military (not in the state of Virginia). The employee told me I needed documentation from the address on my ID. I handed him my Washington State fishing license, which has my ID address. The employee said no, you must have a Virginia ID to be able to take the gun out. I said, I was told the last time (I've pawned this same gun 3 different times at this same pawn shop before) that in order to take the gun out I needed some type of documentation that had the same Washington State address on it. I said, this is the documentation, a fishing license. He said no, you must have an ID from the state you are currently living in to use to get out the gun. He said I was misinformed by one of the employees. I said the last time I used this exact fishing license to get out the exact same gun before from here. He said no only people with Virginia IDs can be used to take out the gun. I said, you are not the DMV, you don't have that authority to change policy to me, for employees to tell me different information then not allow me to take out my pawn item. Chesapeake Square Pawn changes policy on gun items and use their word of mouth from misinformed employees as policy. They change their policy so I'm not able to take out my gun when I've been told what to use and I provided exactly what I was told. They are quick to take the item, with the exact same ID as I've used 3 different times and then change their policy not allowing me to get my gun out. By the pawn company changing policy, not being informed, using my same ID, I'm accumulating excessive charges. I tried to take my gun out but now I can't, so they are continuing to take my money. The employees acknowledged I got the exact same gun out with the exact same ID in the past. The employees said I must get a Virginia ID and that's the only way I can take my gun out. read more

Ezra's customer service was amazing, I came in not exactly knowing what I wanted and he stayed patient, guided me in the right direction which ultimately led me to buying my first rifle. Would highly recommend read more

I reached out about selling our Asus ROG G750 gamers laptop. It's in impeccable condition. 4TB. I received an email to please bring it in at anytime. I got asked how much I wanted for it. Of course I'd love $1000. My husband bought it for $2500. But I told the associate I recognized it was 8 years old, taking into account depreciation - the lowest I'd like to go is $500, but to please make me an offer. The associate then told me that they don't take computers older than 2018, or with the windows update mine had (Windows 8). I'm giving 4-stars because the store was clean and even though I couldn't sell my computer, the associate was very nice and even suggested other options on how to sell it. My only complaint (hence the deduction of a star), is that I wish someone had maybe asked me a few more questions in the email, prior to coming over (what year is the computer, what's the latest windows update on it, etc), because then it would have saved me a trip. Gas prices are incredibly high, and I burned some driving over :/. Maybe disclosing it's store policy to not take computers older than 2018... In the end, not selling worked out for us. I updated the 2014 Asus ROG to windows 11, and I will use it for my boys to do their homework on. read more

They are very professional and kind people and will help you with all your needs. Don't go no where else to pawn sell or buy. I have purchased a lot of stuff from them and they were great prices. read more

This day was pretty hectic for me! I had the best experience at this store in Chesapeake! Thanks to Christian W. and another lovely coworker. Very friendly customer service and clean store. They were very patient with me. I will return here for sure! read more

Got my watch battery replaced and watch still didnt work. Took watch someplace else and they said the new battery didn't work amd replaced it for less. Went back to chesapeak square pawn amd told them the situation amd he said I couldn't get a refund. Nice business practices, I won't be doing any business with chesapeak square pawn again. read more

I'm reasonably knowledgable about guns and a very respectful person. 5 gun shops in Virginia Beach treated me badly either for my young appearance, or because I'm skinny, to the point they refused sale. The dumbest reason to deny sale. Anyways, this is the very first gun store to treat me like a human being and to return the respect I offer them. Highly recommend this place. It's worth the 38 min drive to buy ammo from a store with employees that treat me how they want to be treated. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

See all

The staff and general manager sold me the worst and most dangerous (to the user) firearm. When I told him I would be willing to sell back two of the firearms that I purchase the day prior in exchange for a more dependable AK, (which I would've been happy to pay the difference for. I just needed a gun that wouldn't potentially explode in my hand as I used it) he said he could give me 50% of the value of those brand new guys that I had purchased previously from them. Both of which were completely unfired. Save your time and spare your valuables. I highly do NOT recommend this place. read more

When I called they said they do not know how much they will buy 14k gold for per penny weight. He said without seeing it he does not know how much he would pay for 14k gold. They claim they give the best prices, but some how don't know what they will pay. Sounds conditional to me, which is not sound business practice. read more

Chesapeake square pawn has excellent customer service. They have a great selection with a little bit of everything for everyone (jewelry, electronics, firearms, handbags, power tools and even 4 wheels for your kids) We went to look at their jewelry selection and were very impressed with the price and quality. The owner of the store was actually working in his shop and was very knowledgeable and helpful and helped us personally. He told us They are in the process of expanding the store to about a quarter of the size of the whole shopping center. What I enjoyed about it most, most pawn shops aren't in nice areas and this one was and you felt safe we will definitely be going back! read more

If you're buying a firearm, save yourself the hassle and don't go here. They don't have a clue what they are talking about, and just argued with me about the gun I've been researching for weeks. The man behind the counter was extremely rude, unapproachable, and argumentative. They clearly don't need business if they treat a potential customer so poorly. They have the firearm I want at a good price, but lack of customer service killed any chance of me ever shopping here again. read more

I got great help from Jamieson...he was extremely helpful...I recommend everyone goes and ask for Jameson is he is very knowledgeable

I would have been happy to give them 5 stars if they wouldn't have taken my money!! So my story is I put 2 guns on layaway in February. I paid over the 10% down for both of them! About 3wks ago I went to purchase one of the two... great (no issues) I walked out with my gun. Well 2 days ago I went to purchase my 2nd one ONLY to be told it was sold and the money I paid down wouldn't be returned me because I didn't come in and make a payment last week. I told them I was sick and told to self quarantine so I didn't leave my house. Needless to say I wasn't thinking about a pawn shop because I'm scared I might have this nasty virus (Covid-19) But the owner refused to come out the back and talk to me and sent her employee James out to tell me pretty much I'm not getting my money back that I've already paid towards the gun!! I think this is bad customer service in every aspect!! Ppl are losing their lives, jobs and everything and this business uses this time to take money from a paying customer that was going to bring them plenty of business! I have told my military friends to not go here!! I won't purchase nothing else from here again!! I found a great gun store in Virginia Beach, I'll take my money/business there!! I love BOTH of my new guns NO THANKS to this pawn and gun shop!! It's sad to do people like this in a time of crisis and this store isn't hurting for money cause everytime I've been here over the last month it's full of customers buying guns so why take my money???!!! I'm a mother of 6 kids so every dollar counts!!! NEVER AGAIN will I spend another dime here or any of the other stores!! Sincerely, TaSheira C. read more

My favorite place for fire arms. This place affordably built and over time allowed me to affordably modify my rifle. The services they offer are diverse when it comes to arms. They also have many other things like jewelry and recreational vehicles. The thing I don't like is how fast the antique arms sell. I recommend saving and keeping your eyes out if you want one, or just ask someone there to see if they can locate one for you. In short, all my arms needs are met here beyond expectations. I really am impressed with their transparency in prices too. read more

Great selection and prices. But what sets them apart is the customer I received. They provided above expected service and they will be my first choice when I need anything. read more

The owner is knowledge and personable and very helpful ,he fixed what needed fixing ,bought old gold from me ,what I bought from him was very reasonable, and they get new things in a lot read more

Bad customer service, nonchalant attitudes, rude, not worth your money, go somewhere where they value their customers

I was referred by a friend who had dealt with the owner, Maurice, previously. I went in looking for a specific item as a Christmas gift for my favourite hunter and was pleasantly surprised by how clean the store was, how friendly and knowledgeable the staff was, how great the prices were, and how much I enjoyed dealing with Maurice. I had only planned on getting a single item that my friend had checked out for me earlier in the week but ended up grabbing a few things after chatting with Maurice. When the background check took a little longer than anticipated due to the large volume of requests so close to the holidays, Maurice took care of us. Noted how great all the employees were when interacting with other customers, both sellers and buyers, and we are definitely returning for other purchases. read more

Would not recommend bringing ANYTHING here. After they scam you into thinking your item is only worth 1/3 of its value they'll take their 10% extra on top. Not to mention their payment contract for pawns is ridiculous. If I could put 0 stars I would. read more

Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Definitely going back to pick a few more things that the owner and I talked about!

This is the first time I've ever sold anything at a pawn shop and I will say that they are the nicest people. I had 3 computers and 6 monitors that I was going to sell on Craigslist but didn't want to hassle with posting it and then not knowing who I was going to meet up with. Maurice walked me through the entire process and gave me a fair deal for all of the computers. If I have anything else to get rid of I will definitely use them again! read more

I would definitely recommend taking the trip to visit this pawn shop. Their prices are reasonable and they are very acknowledgable and wonderful people. read more

ok guys , this is the real scoop on this "place" . I walk in this place for the first time , I bring in 4 sterling silver desert cups , with each cup weighing 20 grams of sterling , and 2 silver half dollars , each weighing approximately 14.5 grams of 90 % silver , the "man" working there weighed everything himself and says , ok I can do 8 for everything ! with a smug smirk on his face ! and I look at him like REALLY !!!! I proceeded to tell the ( for a cleaner choice of words ) "guy" that I could get 10 dollars for the 2 half dollars alone ! not counting the 4 desert cups that weighed 80 grams of 92.5 percent silver !! He says , what were you thinking !! I said I was thinking 45 dollars !! he shook his head like "you must be dreaming " I said , well like I said , I can get 10 bucks for just the two half dollars anywhere ! even on craigslist from random people !! he said "well I dont know how they stay in business ! " well , maurice , I can tell you how they stay in business! BY BEING FAIR WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS !!! Needless to say , I left that failing establishment fast and drove 2 miles down the street to my local coin shop and the owner "ray" gave me 42 dollars for my items within 5 minutes !!! that was 110 grams of over 90% silver that chesapeake square pawn wanted to buy for 8.00 dollars !!!!!! I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE BEEN TO A PAWN SHOP THAT WANTED TO RIP ME OFF SOOOOO BAD BEFORE IN MY LIFE !! IT WAS TRULY AN EYE OPENING EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL TELL EVERYONE I RUN INTO THAT WILL LISTEN !! AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME , OR ANYONE I KNOW EVER STEPPING FOOT INTO THAT PLACE FOR ANY REASON !! ALTHOUGH , I DO NOT THINK THEY WILL LAST LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO TELL TOO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT IT , BUT I WILL GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT ! SELLERS BEWARE !! I MEAN REALLY BEWARE !!!!!! read more
