These people are shady, and dishonest. If you come here to sell something or pawn something theyāll tell you to look up the eBay value. They purposefully select the CHEAPEST broken listings that donāt represent the actual market value, and base the price off of that. Unfair and dishonest. Tried to sell a 2k wide screen monitor. Resell was $1200, and he tried to tell me it was only worth $100 on eBay, (he didnāt know I was on the eBay as he was telling me, and the listing he pointed out was BROKEN, even the broken ones were going for a minimum of $400. All the working ones are upwards of $1000+, I even heard him say oh wow as he was browsing eBay).
Recently tried to give it another go for my 2021 MacBook Pro 1TB. He said the eBay worth was less than $200ā¦.š this place is an absolute joke. To the people that work at the pawn shop. Youāre 100% justified in giving me the price you want to pay, but donāt sit here and lie to me and say the value is under what itās actually worth to swindle me into selling or pawning my itemsā¦. The dishonestly is what gets me. Donāt do business here.
RESPONSE TO OWNERS RESPONSE
I hope you guys see why this is a terrible pawn shop. The owner clearly didnāt read my review at all. Iām not knocking you guys for the low price. Itās the fact you guys are deliberately lying trying to swindle. I understand pawnshops may only pay 10% for the item, I donāt understand the shady lying involved in trying to justify unfair valuation of items. But the owner canāt comprehend that, or take accountability. He instead assumes Iām in a āfinancial situationā lol just disgusting and exactly the character Iām talking about. Me not liking your price is my opinion. Thatās fine. But you guys lying about the market value is bad business and shady! Be honestā¦. I would have pawned them for the exact prices you guys asked for. But, not about to get lied to, when hundreds of other pawn shops will pay the same price and be transparent. We live in an world where a little honestly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI've done business at the Palm Coast pawn shop a few times, and I've spent more than I've pawned. I always retrieved my items, however when I went in the last time the younger guy acted like the one thousand dollars was only worth $150.00 and was talking down like everything was junk, when in fact the items have barely been used. I paid 500 just for the two ladders, and 350 for the airless spry rig and 150 for the cobalt circular saw. And even if you don't want something you don't insult a person by talking down to them just to gain a financial advantage. When people come to your pawn shop there pride is probably not in the best shape. I have several hundred thousand dollars in IRA's, a 401 k that exceed's over 200 thousand, but it takes s almost a month just to get the money; not counting the penalties for withdrawalling before completing the maturity of said investments. So I am not very pleased with the young man that I spoke with. With much respect the father that owns the pawnshop is very respectful and both of the younger men are a bit hot headed, and somewhat disrespectful. Anyway that's why I only have two stars. As I don't want to take away from another persons business, I say what I mean, and have never had to be as described for...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe've used Palm Coast Pawn & Jewelry for years. From borrowing quick cash, purchasing jewelry, having jewelry repairs done there, selling items, and more.
Shane, the owner, has always been extremely generous and fair with us. We are seniors and feel safe doing business with them, and would not even think of going somewhere else.
When my entire office/studio was hit by lightning, he gave me the most incredible prices to replace my equipment.
The other day, when we went in there for the 3rd time in a week to fix a couple of watch bands, I realized that the business we give him probably can't even pay one single bill for them, yet he treats us as though we are big spenders.
I love to leave positive reviews when they are deserved, which in this case they are, and I hope others will do the same. We highly recommend Palm Coast...
