Olathe Trading Post & Pawn — Local services in Olathe

I used to go here in my younger years, haven't been in a decade. Walk in, same old, very RUDE man was there. Claimed my gold was no good. Besides calling my dad a liar, had the nerve to say my silver was bunk. Rolled down the counter making it look/appear as it was fake. He's the liar. Tried giving me a lecture about how long he's done this. I don't care. Maybe it's been too long. I had my gold and silver checked out by a PROFESSIONAL. It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. Obviously the old man either holds grudges, or is a liar himself, or both. The man NEEDS to brush up on silver, gold, etc. Much has changed in the market, especially as long as he's done this, I'd 3cpectva professional to know what he's doing. Apparently this man doesn't keep up on silver rounds, distribution of, the silver content due to the shortage, AND 'rona. Maple Leafs weight EXACTLY 1oz, not more, not less. It's a COINas well, NOT a round. Learn the difference old man. My gold is from an IRA/401k. They do NOT make mistakes when it comes to that. It's ASSEYED. Signed and NUMBERED for retirement purposes. I hardly believe Credit Suisse would produce fake gold to fill IRA accounts. That's called FRAUD. On a massive scale. People go to FEDERAL prison for such crimes. It appears this old man is WAY out of touch with reality. Gold and silver are NOT sold like they were in old west times,bold man. Learn new mints,what they produce, and for God's sake, learn silver rounds and quit expecting the worst out of everyone. I understand one can get jaded in this business, but for God's sake man, grow up, learn, and have some damn manners. You're an embarrassment to that establishment. You lose sales, call people and their dead daddy's liar,. Do you even know who Noble Gold is? Did you know you can cash in your IRA/401k for gold as long as it's assayed? I saw first hand, you sir, DO NOT. Time to retire old man. You disgrace that once beautiful shop. used to love this place. It's full of junk...

I had several games I wanted to sell. A sealed never used copy of Pokémon Shining Pearl for Switch, a copy of Rayman 3D, Super Mario 3D Land, and Super Smash Brothers for 3DS all used but still in box, as well as a PS4 Controller and a reproduction copy of both Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Leaf Green.

I took these to the Trading Post and ended up getting not only subpar service but also only 55 dollars for what would normally be, bare minimum, 100+ dollars. The man was very condescending to me and straight up lied to me about several of the games I had, stating things such as the 3DS games (that, mind you, included Super Smash Brothers which sells for a ton more money) only being a couple of dollars (as in 3 or 4) when in reality they sell for, at minimum 20, especially IN BOX, which all 3 games were. More insultingly, the man tried to tell me that the Nintendo Switch game that was sealed in box and had never been opened was only 11 dollars.

I'm not sure what site these people use, since that was the value their "site" had, but trying to pass off a sealed Switch game that released less than a year ago is absolute highway robbery. I understand they need to "make money as well" as the man put it, but 100 dollars for a set of items that, in reality, far exceeds what I was asking for isn't an unreasonable ask and I frankly feel cheated. This paired with the condescending attitude, the fact that I was ignored after my items were presented and the overall uncomfortable atmosphere the place had made the overall experience absolutely disgusting. These people were lucky that I was tired and exhausted otherwise the deal would've never even happened.

I beg everyone to take your business elsewhere when it comes to this dump. It's not worth your time at all and you'd basically be selling your items for free with the way they...

This is by far my favorite pawn shop due to its outstanding customer service! If you are straightforward with them they are straightforward with you! No BS here unless you walk in acting like a "pawn star". I've been a buyer-seller and Trader in the Olathe area for 15 years. These are good people trying run a pawn shop as they were meant be run. A place where they know you don't necessarily want to sell your valuables, but also understand people need money in a pinch. They have compassion when it comes time to make payments. As long as you show that you are doing your best to make them on time. They will work within your needs accordingly. Olathe Trading Post will keep your heirlooms safe, and return them to you in the same if not better condition than when you had to hand them over to make rent (etc.). I once had to pawn my grandfather's 12-gauge shotgun for a car payment. When I paid off my loan they gave it back to me oiled and stripped of all the rust from the barrel. It made my grandfather's shotgun look brand new! I was so thankful to have received the loan in first place. Then to see my grandfather's gun was not only fine, but restored to it's original Glory made this my go to pawn shop. It took away all negative stigma I had about pawn shops in my mind. Not to mention they have customer appreciation weeks with food and raffles! Best of all they hire my an old friend of mine, the Sean Mcnown band to to entertain the masses!! Keep it real OTP! I'm sure I'll be seeing y'all soon with my regular...
