Best shop in town, hands down. Very professional and reasonable. Unlike other shops around town, The owner is fair and will work with you rather than haggle you.

Rick is a genuinely nice guy. Ignore the haters who posted. They all have obviously never been to a real pawn shop before. If you are expecting Macy's, then Oaks Mall is where you should be just remember after you buy it from Macy's and all your money is gone. Rick will be there for you to give you some cash and get you going again. I hope the haters take that to heart and delete or update their posts. TO Rick: Keep up the gift you give to the community, you helped me and my wife get through some hard times.

Possible fake gold seller or scammer, buyer beware. Owner is highly insecure and suspiciously hostile toward anyone who wants some type of verification of the authenticity of his gold before buying it. Owner claims to stock various gold coins for the literally unbelievably low price of just $20 over spot for any coin he had in stock (including a variety of maples, eagles, mexican coins, etc.) Owner was extremely verbally abusive toward me when I asked to see gold coins on a precious metals verifier, claimed verifiers don't work, even though this is what almost any reputable gold dealer uses to test coins before buying or selling. Instead, to instill confidence in the authenticity of the coins he was selling, he showed me he had the materials required to perform the acid test. So I said ok fine, show me the acid test, but then he told me he can't do the acid test either because he doesn't want to damage the coin. (I believe this is hogwash because I once saw a jeweler perform an acid test on his daughter's wedding right in front of me and it did not damage the ring whatsoever nor did the jeweler appear to perceive any loss in value of the ring.) At this point I became highly suspicious so I asked if I could even perform a simple flick test (any gold bug knows the characteristic ring of a gold coin when you flick it) yet amazingly, this shop owner would not even let me flick a gold coin in his shop. This is EXTREMELY suspicious. Then he proceeded to get angry and start cursing me out and eventually kicked me out of his shop. All the while I maintained a calm demeanor and even made sure to show him the cash so he knew I was a serious buyer. I have been to many gold dealers in many different states and never witnessed anything like this before. In my opinion the only logical reason for this level of insecurity would be a lack of confidence in the authenticity of the gold he's selling. Buyer beware
