I went in to sell some jewelry I hadn't worn since my "power suit" days and not only was treated with much greater courtesy than I would ever have expected from a pawn shop, but also had a really fun and interesting conversation with the owner while he tested and evaluated what I'd brought. The price I received for my jewelry was fair and paid in cash, the experience was very positive, and I look forward to returning as a customer.

I actually had to make eye contact and greet the associate myself since he was so interested in this womans couch. Upon stating that I was here to turn in my slip and redeem my tablet he asked for the slip, took one look at it and requested the total for redeeming. Because this unprofessional associate failed to do his job and ask me for proper identification to verify i am in fact the slip holder, literally any person could have taken that slip if it was misplaced and redeemed my tablet for themselves. I will never shop here again and i hope you get sued for having irresponsible employees.

I really wasn't looking forward to the task. At first, I took some collections of medallions my mother had collected over decades. I was given a direct, informative description of every item. It was delivered in a polite, but concise manner, pleasingly direct. They told me what it was worth and what they would pay. I accepted their offer, which I thought was very fair. I was impressed. Over the next 4 months, I took more and more items to them.... more, jewelry, silver dollars, etc. In the end, I think we did somewhere around $10k worth of business together. I was very impressed, pleased with them. Quality organization!.

The wonderful ladies working there took the time to explain why my ring actually felt too big, and it turned out I didn't need a resize after all! They offered an alternative adjustment I didn't even know was possible, suggested more cost-effective options, and even tightened my prongs at no extra charge. My ring was ready within just a couple of business days and looked absolutely gorgeous when I picked it up. The staff was so warm, friendly, and genuinely made me feel comfortable and cared for. I'll definitely be coming back to them for all my future jewelry needs--wedding bands, gifts, repairs, and more. Highly recommend!
