G & G Pawnbrokers

I had went to my regular pawn shop back doing the summer, to get extra cash for my laptop (pawn) and they did everything but electrics. So I googled pawnshops while I was out and about and found G & G Pawnbrokers.
I called and the Guy on the phone was very friendly and told me to come on in. I made my way there and was able to get enough cash to hold me to payday.
I went again and G&G Pawnbrokers are under new management! Interest rates are lower! The young lady I dealt with was very nice. All and all G&G Pawnbrokers will work with you to get the cash you need. FYI, they have layaway for TV and Jewelry! Thanks G&G Pawnbrokers!

After reading a couple reviews I had relatively high expectations for this place. I remember reading things like, «they won’t take advantage of you», «they are reasonable», «will work with you».
I went here with some electronics that I had received as gifts but never used before so I thought let’s see if we can make a deal rather than have it sitting in my garage collecting dust. I walk into the shop and notice they have a police officer on duty, though he is more focused on his phone than observing the store. After a couple minutes of standing there with my items a man with a goatee (who I assume is the owner of the shop, or manager) approaches me and without even greeting me just looks at my stuff and says, «I’m interested in these two, but not this.» then takes the boxes to the counter and he walks to his computer in the backroom. Ok, so I follow him and wait for him to come back out of the backroom while he’s googling my items in order to make a proposal.
He comes out from the back and says,“I’ll offer you $ 10 for those. I have a bunch of stuff like this and people want things cheap around here.” LOL… I respond by saying, «you don’t have anything like this in here, $ 10 really?» Where he then responds with, «People want things cheap around here.» He was serious, and not open to negotiating. I pick up my stuff and walk out.
The total retail price for the items I brought in were over $ 200. I understand the guy’s motivation for wanting to make a profit, but to downright lowball me and not even consider negotiating was just insulting.
I suppose I’m too idealistic to think people can be honest and fair with you in a transaction like this. It was a definite mistake and a waste of time to drive to this place rather than doing what most folks do which is sell it on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, and Wallapop.
Unless you’re extremely desperate for a couple dollars, and do not have time to sell your items through the online merchandisers, and even after asking your network if they’re interested in purchasing your items, and only if your life is on the line then go to this place. But I warn you, this place preys on the weak and despondent. You will be treated disrespectfully, and lowballed for sure.

I went in here to look at estate jewelry but was told they don’t sell jewelry. What I did see was mostly musical equipment, so if you are in the market for instruments, you might check here. Otherwise, the selection seemed very limited.
