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 say this sincerely and with 100% transparency

I had a gold bracelet I wanted to sell, so before I went into this pawn shop, I weighed the…read morebracelet myself and looked online to get a rough estimate on how much scrap gold was going for at that time. ​Based off the online price of scrap gold at the time and the weight of my bracelet, the bracelet was worth $300.00 I knew that the pawn shops price for scrap gold would be less than the online price, so I used the online price just ​for a rough estimate to keep in mind. ​I went into the pawn shop and spoke to the guy behind the counter for a few minutes, and I'm assuming the few questions I asked him about gold gave him the impression that I didn't really know anything about it. Which is true, I don't know anything about it at all, except for the scrap value of it online. T​he guy offered me $150 for it and told me ​they offer 10 to 15% less than standard scrap value because of the time it takes them to prepare gold to be scrapped , I told him that when I looked online at scrap gold price and ran the numbers, the bracelet is worth around $300. He proceeded to tell me that the most he can give me for it is $150.00 I was going to accept it because I needed the money, but when I handed him my driver's license to finish the deal, he reminded me that my license was expired and I would need to come back in with a valid form of ID to go through with the deal. ​All and all, my driver's license being expired that day kept me from losing out on $100.00 because a few days later I went out to a gold buyer in sequim and he offered me $250.00 for the exact same bracelet!!

I'm on a fixed budget and needed food bad. It helped me get a couple meals needed to get to the first. However the second time i came by i was offended by how dismissive and felt talked down to. They informed me they are no longer buying sterling silver???? just gold. IDK it sounded like a lie, but he didn't even look at what was brought and was a different person than first time. I don't understand a company buying gold but not silver? Wouldn't they just be losing money, out the door. The store looks like its dying by lack of inventory for such a small space. He said not interested in meta oculus virtual reality or any VR. BTW what is going on with these pawn shops around here, all they want is gold and they look like dying. sux cause i sell online but when you need quick cash pawning helps. And my stuff is legit i have copies of my receipts. But at least capitol pawn not down right wanting to sock them cause so rude, like I've ran into in the other pawn shops in Seattle. Telling me "I just don't think your coming back" when i got $40 on $700 of items pawned (when attitude should be they hope i don't come back, so they could profit more). The other two pawn shops owners are rude and looking at their shops how dare they!!! and ones a horrible stereotype,, i almost thought he was doing a bit.

I've been using other FFL dealers and heard the price here is better. I thought I wanted to share…read moresome feedback about my experience today because the situation was pretty frustrating and I think it mostly came down to communication. About a week ago I had a firearm shipped to your shop for transfer. Earlier today while I was working out in downtown Edmonds, I received a call from your store letting me know that my firearm had arrived and that I could come in anytime today to start the transfer process. Because I was excited to get the process going (10 day hold) and had been waiting for it to arrive, I actually stopped my workout immediately and drove over. It's about a 30-minute drive for me to get to your shop since I chose your store over others that are closer to me because your transfer pricing is better. However, when I arrived around 1:00 PM, the door was locked with a sign saying "At lunch, be back at 2 PM." What made this frustrating is that the call I received earlier was around 12:30 PM, and at no point during that call was it mentioned that the shop would be closed for an hour shortly after (I told them I'd see them soon today and and they told me "see you in a bit!"). If I had known that the store would be closed until 2:00 PM, I simply would have planned my trip differently or come later in the afternoon. Instead, I ended up driving 30 minutes only to sit in the parking lot for an hour (literally 58minutes) waiting for the store to reopen. Because of the distance, it doesn't make sense for me to drive back home and then return again. I completely understand that staff need lunch breaks, and that's not the issue. The frustration comes from being told I could come "anytime today" without being informed that the shop would actually be closed for a period of time shortly after the call. A simple mention during the call like, "You can come today, but we're stepping out for lunch from 1pm until 2 PM," would have avoided the entire situation and allowed me to plan accordingly. I chose to have the transfer done at your shop even though it's farther away because of the pricing, but in this case the extra time and inconvenience ended up outweighing the savings. I just wanted to share this feedback because better communication could prevent this kind of situation for future customers. I'll will say they are very friendly tho and the process was relatively easy.

You get a $1 "Pawn Buck", lol wait wait that's not a loan offer, its a bill, we actually spoke to a customer??? Ok ok heres your imagination participation trophy for showing up with something valuable. The ticket says I'd need $64+ to redeem it after 90 days, highlighted by a big purple-circled $16.25 "itemization of the finance charge" that feels like they just made up a number and hoped I wouldn't notice. Storage fee, doc prep, the whole menu of "because we can" charges. Meanwhile, another buyer on Pacific Ave offered $68 on the spot. $68 vs $48, and zero chance of my coin becoming their new wall mount. This isn't pawning....this is comedy hour with your assets as the punchline. Washington has rules on these fees for a reason, and the $16.25 line smells like it's doing the cha-cha around them. If you're in the olympia area and enjoy losing money with a side of creative accounting, go right ahead. Everyone else? Take it to a legit coin shop to at least get spot prices... You'll get actual spot value instead of this financial stand-up routine. Do better, or at least be funnier about robbing people.
