5 /5 Robert Kruse: Ive visited these guys here and there for years now. IMO, the biggest selection, floorspace, and well priced items. Best Pawn Shop in GR. I had visited the one at Leonard and Alpine a few times, and they were close, both in selection and service, especially in tools, but as that one was torn down a year ago, these guys now hold the crown.
Ive seen them work with people if they needed a few days to make a payment, in my experience theyve been knowledgeable, and if not, not scared to say so, then accessing the internet for information. Friendly bunch of guys, who give a fair price, IF one understands what to expect from a Pawn Shop.
In case someone reading this doesnt, if one is going to pawn or sell something, keep in mind they are a business. They have to keep the lights on, and make a profit FIRST!! As a general rule, one can expect to be offered about a third of what an item is WORTH if one goes to pawn or sell an item. (Watch Pawn Stars a couple times, same general percentages)
Keep in mind that because YOU bought that TV Four years ago for 5k, youre not getting 4k, or even 3k.
Yeah, four years ago, that TV was worth 5k. But with advances in tech, it MAY only be worth 1k now. As such if you go to pawn youre probably only gonna get an offer for $250-$400.
If you keep your expectations realistic, youll understand these are a good bunch of guys who stand behind their product, offer and have decent prices, stand behind their product, and have good customer service.
Best in town.
