We Buy Everything Pawn Shop - Somerdale — Attraction in Somerdale

Unless you're dope sick and need to re-up desperately, do not sell items here. They do not negotiate. They offer you bottom dollar. I've been there four times with unopened electronics. The average they offered across 4 items was 11% of the product's MSRP. All unopened electronics. For instance, I had an unopened, unlocked mobile phone. Online it says $400 at Best buy. $350 at Walmart. $325 on eBay. I'm figuring I can get at least 150 for that. They offer 35 bucks and wouldn't budge from it. For something they can turn around and sell easily for $300. I understand the need for immediate cash that's why I ended up doing the deal. They even ask you how much you expect to get out of it. When they make their counter offer, if you want to call it that, it's literal crackhead prices. I know you guys are in Somerdale but I mean really, there aren't that many open-air drug markets or trap houses in the area unless I head down 30 and hit a dope set in East Camden or something. The lack of fairness is shocking, and considering they also had me sign a check made out to me, for the amount they gave me in cash, then take the check back, and tell me that it was for "bookkeeping purposes" or something? Seems shady. If that's for documenting the transaction it's like, you ever heard of QuickBooks? Weirdest, most archaic, backwards bookkeeping practice I've ever heard of, while it's not illegal, as a reformed cybercriminal that did time in federal prison, and then cooperated with the FBI to get my prison sentence reduced, in my experiences, accounting practices like that, are done for deceptive purposes. Considering they also make you provide a copy of your driver's license, made me very uneasy they had me sign a check that I'm not cashing. And I only say that because I have seen that accounting practice out in the real world several times. And every single time it was for either cooking books or laundering illicit funds. Not alleging these guys are involved in that, but as an individual who has been around many shady, as well as many legitimate, individuals and organizations, I've never seen that practice performed by a legitimate entity or touted as an accepted bookkeeping practice by any auditor or accountant that I've ever done business with. It's a common practice with shady individuals, who either do it for money laundering or defrauding the IRS and having "proof" for accounting audits in the form of an altered check. It's weird bro really, it's just very strange. I needed cash, the few times I went there, so I ended up just doing the deal, putting my head down and getting out of there, but seller beware. It is Shade Ball City up in that biz. Nice people though. I will say very social very communicative if I had to give one good aspect of my experience, the guys were very nice. Nice people to talk to and they make it easy to hand over your stuff for that...

I normally don't write reviews but wanted to help out a fellow shoppers for the future. I first wanna say I have shopped and sold with somderdale pawn in the past and was happy with all the previous transactions. I am not sure if I was dealing with the wrong staff or if it being close the holidays made it different but my last 2 visits left me unsure if I will use them again in the future. The 2 things that I just wanna inform fellow patrons with are the following things that being a former customer had me scratching my head on. The first thing was gift cards. A couple months earlier I learned they purchased unused gift cards; something that we all forget about over the holidays or special events. I am not a person that ever uses some or any of the gift cards so to be able to get cash for them was really great. The reason I am bringing this up is bc a month before the holiday I went to cash 2 cards in and all of a sudden there was a large drop in the % they wanted to pay for the cards. Obviously, it is a convinence for me that they even buy the cards but I felt a little handcuffed when all of a sudden the cash % for the same gift card just a couple weeks earlier had dropped considerably. To the point I didn't even accept the offer. Again I do appreciate that they even buy the cards but beware that your gift card values can change at anytime with them. Secondly, also be aware that depending who you deal with at the time of your transaction; if you are selling an item to somerdale pawn and for whatever reason decide to come back a day or two later you will be subject to paying a 80% mark up on that item to buy it back. Again, yes I do understand it not my business and they are there to make money. I totally understand and agree that they should make money on anything they are putting money out for or putting on the shelves, etc. The reason for this review is to give you fellow patrons just a heads up because what I was told when the item was bought from me from somerdale and when I actually came back a couple days later to buy back my item were night and day. I could understand interest of 10, 15, or even 20% but I was charged 80% (on top of original purchase price) to buy my item back. Lastly, I am sorry for the long review and I had good experiences in the past but the last couple really put a damper on my previous transactions and probablity...

I’ve sold to pawn shops a lot of times and at the end of the day most pawn shops aren’t gonna give you nearly as much as you thought based on what ever your trying to sell to them. I have tried selling things to this specific one a handful amount of times and each time I keep asking my self why I even bother bringing my things to them. This pawn shop is incredibly cheap to the point where some of there offers are just straight up disrespectful, there better off just saying there not interested but they don’t because they know most people are hurting to get rid of things for quick cash so they low ball you to make way more profit. Also I know it’s not policy for any pawn shop to give you a price over the phone, but when I have something that is a pain to bring to the shop I would like to get a low and high estimate at the least of what they may pay if my description of that said thing is exactly what I’m telling them. Everything is gonna have a price change of either high or low mostly lower than what they say over the phone. But for them to have an attitude when I’m asking a simple question very nicely as matter a fact it’s really bad customer service and honestly is a turn off from the beginning which completed detoured me from even wanting to try them out. I called another place in Morrestown and they were completely helpful over the phone and gave me an estimate of what they could potentially pay for my item. And also told me about platforms I could use to seek my item if there estimate is to low for me to bring in. So moral of the story is this place...
