Had a home burglary in Kensington. Went to this pawn shop with a list of my stolen items, including…read moreserial #s. Was told to my face "we'll let you know if we get anything in." Sure enough, never heard a whisper from the pawn shop, but I had also made a police report & when my serial #s pinged back at this pawn shop, they acted like they had no idea what could've happened, completely dodged the responsibility of contacting me, & then made me buy my stolen goods back (this is PA state law, and a flawed one at that, but still added insult to injury.) So I guess no big surprise that this is a shady af pawn shop, but if your items go missing, be aware that they may end up here & the people working here will lie to your face about it.

Far from what I ever expected a "pawn shop" to be, this shop is more of a little art gallery &…read morefashionable jewelry store. The young man & woman that run it were laid-back, informative & very welcoming. Their prices for precious metals are right there on the wall and they inspected everything in front of me while making pleasant conversation about how they came to open up in Fishtown.

I visited Precision Watches looking for a pre-owned piece after spotting a Breitling Navitimer on…read moretheir website--which is impressive in its own right. Upon entering, I was greeted by Maddy, who ended up being my personal guide throughout the entire visit. Given that they're an authorized dealer for heavy hitters like Rolex, Tudor, and Omega, it makes total sense they maintain a secure, high-touch environment rather than letting visitors wander freely. Maddy took me up to the second floor where their pre-owned selection is housed. Wow, what a setup! Having around 100 pre-owned watches under glass was a pleasant surprise; most authorized dealers keep only a handful on-site and store the rest off-premises. Maddy was exceptionally patient as we pulled several pieces to try on. When none ended up being quite the right fit, she brought me back to the main showroom to explore new pieces from Tudor and Omega (since Precision isn't a Breitling dealer). The facility itself is gorgeous. The entrance features a double-glass secure vestibule with a buzz-in system. The main showroom is impeccably laid out with distinct brand spaces, and the floor-to-ceiling windows flood the entire space with natural light. Even though it sits right on busy Route 309 in Lower Gwynedd, the acoustics inside make it dead silent--you don't hear a sound from traffic. The only reason for the 4-star rating instead of 5 is the complete lack of post-visit follow-up. I left my name, phone number, and email expecting at least a quick note or periodic check-in. Instead, it's been total crickets over the last few weeks. With such a high level of concierge service in the showroom, a brief follow-up text acknowledging the visit or keeping me in mind for future inventory would have made the experience seamless.

The owner of this shop is ridiculous he say one thing and does another. I taken my Sony A7iii with…read morean $1,000 lens attached. I was given $500 and told i need $575 to pay to get it back. I was told if i dont have the funds on due date i can come in and pay $75 for extension. Sometimes they give me 3weeks to come back and sometimes 4weeks. For the last 5 months I been paying $75 to extend my time. Last month he told me I had to June 22 to pick up my camera. So i always ask for something in writing they never give it to me im always told sir your good we have it written down. So i write reminders in google calendar before i get in my car because it just seems weird i get no copy of receipt or anything... On the 21st of June my phone beeps...its the reminder to pay for another month....So i say to myself maybe i can go now and pay the $75 but it was closing time.... So i called and said my camera is due tomorrow i was tryn to make it today but i see u guys close at 5:30pm so i be there in the morning to pay another $75. So he says what are u talkn about.... I repeat my name and my camera so he says hold...owner comes back on phone and says we pulled your camera on the 16th its sold already. So i said see this is why i always asked for something in writing because i had a feeln u guys would try something. I said sir i was told i have until June 22nd. U told me your going to give me a couple extra days because i been so ploite.... Now u telln me u sold my camera... He says i didnt say i sold it i said i pulled it. So i says sir any other pawn shop calls or notified the customer before their merchandise is sold... He asked who does that? I said Lou's Pawn shop does it because they done it to me....He says well im not a pawn shop i only pawn jewelry electronics i buy and the customer has to buy it back....So im like thats weird ya business name is Darby Pawn but your not a pawn shop....so he asked me what made me call on the 21st if the due date is the 22nd. I said sir my phone just reminding me to pay on camera tomorrow. I have it set to alert a day before and 2pm the day of. So it reminding me but its already 5:20pm i was gonna try and come today but u close in 10mins no way i can make it. Beings that i already feel skeptical i always call u guys ahead if time. So where going back & forth on date so eventually he says give me ya number and I'll check around my other stores....so I say ok sir......Today he calls me at 1:33pm and says Jameel i say yes he hangs up. I call right back someone answers i say hello someone jus called and ask for me and hungs up..... He says yes it was me im the owner.... He says Jameel I have your camera... He says u know no one is perfect i made mistakes before and I could have told u the 22nd and wrote something different...He said i was telln my guys Jameels a great guy he comes in he's respectful he keeps his word so his camera is here he can pick it up......So i say thank u sir I will be there today with $575 to pick up my camera. He says no problem....I called back at 5pm and say this is Jameel I be there in exactly 8mins he says ok......I arrive with $575 I see my camera box sitting on his counter....So some short beer belly guys walks up and says let me see ya phone.....from that point i knee its something shady going down. I said sir u just called me and apologize and said u not perfect ppl make mistakes. So he says no one called u.....im like yo are u serious so short beer belly guy asked each employee did u call him they all replied no....I said sir someone from this shop called ...then he say it was me im the owner.....So im like why are u playn games u just no one called me...i say the other day u told me u not a pawn shop now i get hear and it says Darby Pawn...so i asked sir what is really going on here because u doing a lot of playn... I said why call me and apologize and say these nice things about me if u gonna scam me when i arrive.....then he says no one called u i said u jus said out ya mouth u called me....the entire time im there im recording because buy this time i realized something shady is going on.... Even his employees were didnt agree what with he was doing to me.....So the short big belly guy that kept sayn he called me then say he didnt call says the only way i can get my camera back i have to show him my calender on my phone....i go to my car first i grab wrong phone so i see my other phone on floor....i grab the phone and started opening up google calendar the short big belly guy standing right in back of me. So i show him june 22th it clearly days sony camera darby pawn.... Then he says i jus wrote that... I said are u kidding me your standing right in back of me and who can unlock there phone because my phone has a code to get to home screen. This is a cheap samsung A20, its not a galaxy 22....Sir it take 10 seconds jus for it to load before u can open any app. So how can i jus write a reminder in 3-5 seconds with u standing right in back of me....
