I noticed the caveat Austin Cash 4 Gold left at the bottom, wanting people to take a look at the…read morepast positive reviews that Yelp has since filtered out. It's really important to understand why Yelp does this, and why a customer should be careful when considering these reviews. When so many positive reviews share the same theme ("Oh My God, ELEVENTY ONE, thi$ place is THE BOMB, YO!"), and have reviewers who have only left one, but no more than three positive reviews for other companies (making Austin Cash 4 Gold their one and only transaction... EVER. ANYWHERE.), Yelp becomes HIGHLY suspect. There are a LOT of places, out there, where services like this can be purchased (Fiver, Ebay, etc.), where a company (say Austin Cash 4 Gold) hires someone to run a program called a bot to create hundreds of unique Yelp users (registered and everything) who'll then put a comment into a template ("Hey, just dropped by [insert store name, here] today!! Had the BEST TRANSACTION EVER!! OMG11!!1"). The person will then run the script and as many companies as the person has been contracted with will then get that exact comment. The process can be arranged differently, too, so that the person makes hundreds of unique users who comment to that one business (for example, Austin Cash 4 Gold), with a database of different (yet incredibly similar) customer messages. Yelp filters these comments out for a reason. A suspicious pattern has been spotted, and while they can't really say the user is fake (because, let's face it, they did provide a unique email address (remember there are thousands of places you can get a free email account out there... it's so easy to do) and did confirm it), but they still see the reviews are hinky. Problematic. Which is why they aren't counted. This store is really small. That they'd have 35 comments that are considered questionable enough to be stuck on that list... really raises more than a few questions in my book. Shopper be ware.

They send me e-mail notices when payment is due. This is the best pawn shop ever!!! I'm still shopping here. Every time I go in, the guys are friendly as ready to answer any questions I might have. What I really like is their text alerts. If you have something on lay away, they'll text you to make payment without you loosing it! Today I went in to pay on a layaway and ended up getting more tools on layaway. They have great prices on the tools I need to fill out my tool chests. They remind you via text message to come in and make a small payment. They use modern technology to help their customers. I recommend this shop over any others. It's in Hutto but worth the drive!!

I read the review by Halstead and feel the need to update my review. I want to state that I gave…read more5-stars based on my experience, not my friendship with Ryan. I'm sorry if Halstead had a bad experience, but I can confirm that they have bullion available and on-site. The problem he had appears to be due to the fact that he thought ARCI operated more like a pawn shop. They don't. This is a much more upscale experience. Sometimes, you have to wait for product if the order is large enough. Their inventory changes hourly. They carry LOTS of rare coins that would require traveling the globe to locate. They lock the rates at the time you indicate, so I'm not sure why anybody would need to receive the product any faster than they deliver it. Finally, I want to point out that I made a spreadsheet of all of my purchases historically. ARCI has always charged me the least. For reference, EBay is the most expensive place to buy, so don't do that under any circumstances. I'm available to answer any questions, as I stated before. I like to think of ARCI as the private club version of bullion dealers, yet anybody can join for free. If you want a pawn shop, go to a pawn shop.

Huge upsell here on silver when the GSR is 55:1, down from 65:1 in less than a week. Their profit…read morespread on 90% constitutional silver is nearly 30%. Meaning, they will sell you $1 face value in constitutional silver for $60, but buy it back at $40 with the excuse of "the refiners will only give me $50 for them." But there hasn't been an ounce of silver that has left this store to a refiner in the 3 months I've been coming here. So they are lying. So when silver is overvalued, like right now when the GSR is 55:1, they will try to steer you away from gold and push 90% silver. Because that's where their profit margin is highest. I don't like being upsold, and I don't like being lied to like I don't know how this industry works. I spent way too much money here to be lied to like that. I'll be going somewhere else from now on. Do yourself a favor, buy your silver from Costco, you can buy it at spot price or even back of spot price and it's .999 pure silver, so when you go to sell it, crooks like these won't take you for 30% on the value of your silver. Crooks. There's also some weird fat guy that likes to sit on the sidelines commenting on everything that you say. He doesn't work there. He never says anything correct or accurate. Everything he says is a lie, I don't know why he's even there. Just a fat dude that hangs around the shop. They have several of those "regulars." Hanging around like bar flies.
