it is very good no problems with the staff
Went to look at a ring that was 1525$. I brought 1400$ cash in my hand and asked for a deal. They looked at me like I was an alien as if bargaining isn't what pawn shops do. They weren't interested in working anything out expect no tax which is expected if I pay cash anyway. Snobby unhelpful staff refused to work out anything.

I checked out the reviews before I visited this pawn shop. I was sadly disappointed, I thought I was walking into something I wouldn't regret.

I've been a few times with 2 different clients. One client has bought rings there and the other client was getting something out that he had gotten a loan for. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. Very nice store with lots of selection.
