    Never thought I’d rate a pawn shop 5 stars but these guys really are great! Excellent prices, great selection and outstanding customer service.

  • Adrian A. ★★★★★

    Wonderful and very professional. Best in the area.

  • Alan H. ★★★★★

    So glad I stopped in. Everyone I talked to was very pleasant to deal with. I’m new to collecting silver and they made me feel at ease and beat another pawn shop by a lot.

  • David L. ★★★★★

    Great group of people. It is a pleasure working with the staff. I have bought a few items from them.

  • Daryl W. ★★★★★
