Uptown Trading — Attraction in Wethersfield

The owner paid to have his google rating fixed in order to inaccurately reflect the quality of business he conducts here. My personal experience is that if you are looking to sell or pawn anything then your best bet is to travel an extra quarter mile down the same road this store is located at and go to "Silas Dean Pawn". For what you spend in gas you will make back tenfold by getting much better rates at that place instead. The owner here is the stereo type of what you would expect from someone who owns a pawn shop. He exploits everyone he can just to keep the lights on in his tiny little store. The selection of things to buy is equally as disappointing as the prices he offers. When you have a store like Silas Dean that has 7 diff. Locations, it becomes clear their sucess over his own isn't dumb luck. Being someone who buys and sells items as a second source of income, this gentleman always without failure comes up short everytime. I am not affiliated with any store, but I am rather a consistent customer of them both. I would hope that this review will save numerous people both time and money in the future. Seriously be your own judge, both on the business and on the individual who owns it as well. He will come up shorter than he stands tall, which isn't...

Additional review:

My family and I are so greatful for Uptown Trading and the excellent adventures we have when we come here. Great finds and an extensive collection, they will go above and beyond to help you get what you need. I honestly have had nothing but amazing experiences here. I can not begin to tell you how amazing these guys are. They will honestly treat you like family and go above and beyond in making each customer feel welcomed, valued, respected, and give you the best customer service anyone could ask for. An awesome place to buy, sell, and trade. I will never go anywhere else. Definitely one of those places that deserves much more recognition and attention. Go there today!! :)

Awesome experience! So helpful, professional friendly and clean. Such a great place to go! This is going to be my Go to place!! They make it their goal to get your needs met. Even made a point of reaching out to make sure I was able to sell the things I had needed to, when other shops had misled me. Thanks to Bill the manager, and really awesome staff and owner! and I couldnt be happier with...

Was driving by and figured I would stop by with some various rings and jewelry. Parked, had a quick smoke and walked up to the door literally one minute after closing today and the owner or worker couldn't be bothered. After seeing me first and nodding (in aknowlegement, one would think) I stood and waited about 5 minutes at the door as he went into the back with the drawer to count it and he came back and did the hand swiping across the neck motion (as in no more or closed I guess)...I then tried to ask "even for trades?" to which he did the same rude hand motion. Well this will be my first and last time trying to stop in as clearly business & customers aren't truley valued here. I understand that the drawer was counted and door locked but maybe at least see what I brought by; a quick trade or sale wouldn't hurt right? A minute past closing and this guy couldn't take off any quicker: I'm no expert by any means- but that is NOT how you run a...
