Wizebuys PawnBrokers Outlet — Local services in Highland Charter Township

I have never given a review prior to this. However, after having a brief encounter with this establishment, I honestly feel the need to. Okay, so appropriately a week, or so ago I had stopped by Wizebuys Pawn with 27.8 grams of 14k gold (a couple necklaces, a bracelet and three piece heart charm). The Spot price on 14k per gram on this day had been $62.23. Meaning, I had presented a little over $1,700 (spot price) worth of gold. One of my first questions to the individual who had claimed to be the owner, had been. What were they offering per gram (14K) on this day? The response I had received had been that he does not price per weight, but by what is presented to him. Even though I had never heard of such, I had thought that this could possibly be better for me. Being that the four pieces of jewelry that I had presented had all been in like new condition. I had then watched him check the purity and weight, and then had been asked if I wanted to pawn, or sell and how much I was looking to get? After responding that I would like to sell, and asking how much he was offering? He had stated that he would give me $400. I then waited for a "just kidding" or for someone to jump out and tell me that I was being punked or something! However, this had not happened, so being the nice, self controlled person, that I sometimes am. I just told him no thanks, and waited for him to return my items. Instead though, he had again asked me how much I was trying to get? I then stated that with the price of 14k gold being $62.23, the least that I would accept would be $40 per gram, which I believed was more than fair. I was then basically laughed at, and told that "that's not how he rolls." I then asked for my items back and as I began to exit, I was then offered $30 per gram, which I guess is better than the less than $15 per gram that I had first been offered. However, I had declined and continued my departure. Now I fully understand that money needs to be made inorder to sustain a business, but I also know that there is a big difference between making a dollar (profiting), or that of attempting to oppress, or taking advantage of people. This being stated due to the fact that the vast majority of individuals whom find themselves needing to frequent a pawn shop inorder to either pawn, or sell their belongings are doing so, due to being in a financial hard spot. For ones who attempt to exploit/take advantage of this I believe just goes to show their true character, which I believe can simply summed up as "less than". Also, just a little FYI ... If you are reading this for the purpose of researching the best place to pawn/sell your gold (jewelry), or any other precious metal. Not only avoid Wisebuys Pawn, but also check out Andres Fine Jewlers (Brighton). No one even comes close to...

With all due respect (and there's not much) you guys suck

I walked in with a perfect condition "ASUS ROG ZEPHYRUS G15 GA503R" this gaming laptop was worth 1300-1500 3 years ago when it was new and i saw them selling on facebook for around 600-700 so when asked how much i wanted for it, i figured 550$ was a fair starting offer and i was told that they wouldn't even be able to give me A THIRD of that (less than 180$) because it was 3 years old and because it didn't come with the OEM charger (50$ on amazon) they even wouldn't take it at all and when i looked at the laptops they had on display there was CHROMEBOOKS up there going for just as much, i went to the pawnshop instead of selling it on facebook because i was tired of waiting and being lowballed and desperately needed money, but i just said forget that and sold it for 500$ on facebook NOT EVEN 24 HOURS LATER

And i know my anecdotal evidence doesn't matter but they were condescending to me the whole time and just came off as sleezy, i feel like they tried to take advantage of me because im young, uninformed about electronics and because they overheard me talking to somebody i went there with and he told me that i should just take what i could get and leave

A pawn shop is a store only for the poor, stupid and or desperate, i only went out of desperation because im in a bad financial situation right now, NEVER AGAIN just cut out the middle man and sell the...

EDIT: 3/16/2018- I have discovered that David "the owner" of this location has dealt with the issue at hand immediately after finding out about it back when it happened. Upmost professionalism at it's finnest! Great ownership

Where to start... So I walked in exactly at 6:26 pm today and talked to the bald guy "no offense, I didn't get your name" and asked a simple question of ideal places to get a conceal carry license and he was extremely nice & helpful. He said he thought there were business cards up at the front counter so I then asked the front counter "mind you I was 5 feet away from the front counter so there was no way the other 2 employees did not hear my original question, and asked if there were any business cards up front and the brown haired employee just said "go to Peacemakers in Howell" I then said "wow that's really far" then at that point the young brown haired girl with the nose piercing rudely interrupts the other employee and me to say "JUST GOOGLE IT" first of all I have and google isn't always the most helpful, secondly your shop was RECOMMENDED to me by my mother in law. I would also like to take the time to inform you that I am a Marine Corps Veteran and it took every shred of self restraint in my body to not embarass her in front of everyone. I refuse to step foot in your establishment again and will absolutely make sure that none of my fellow Veteran Brethren will...
