We Buy Everything Pawn Shop - Pleasantville — Local services in Pleasantville

Went there today to test out something about this place. Had a offer from Sotheby's cuz a friend of mine worked there with a pair of first edition first year 1986 March air jordans. Literally went up there when I was in eighth grade I'm a 52 year old man now, and went to the Nike store to buy these. Woman there holds them starts looking at them and said "who painted these look at these they are painted"...LOL.

If anyone actually knows how to evaluate the specific type of sneakers especially as my friend at Sotheby's told me, the first thing you're supposed to look at are four different points of interest. Number one, startling is a manufacturing technique that is and was specific to the machine that were used back then is it an hourglass figure, fake ones will have a much thicker heal with zero hourglass figure. Number two the circle in the tag will not have a registered trademark symbol. Number three, the stitching along the soles are very unique, and are unique to the machines that were used to make these very specific sneakers. It's incredible how my friend showed me how flush it comes out and how no other machine can replicate this. The specialized two style black and white shoe strings or sneaker strings. Again these are extremely unique and can only fit in the actual real Jordans that were made in 1986. Along the side at the time the specific stamp was considered to be something almost like a widely held secret like the Coca-Cola formula. If you look at those that are fakes the difference between the stamp is incredibly different just like the Jumpman on certain Jordans have the arm different again these are stamps that are held and are made certain ways these would be noticeable to any expert to understand what these are and knows how to value these.

Anyway, back to the discussion because I want to be completely transparent disposed absolutely everything so I'm not being told that I didn't say this or say that and have the people who work there say I didn't do x y and z know I did everything but I want to be honest about what was said however the four points above plus several other things are things that cannot be replicated on fake sneakers, and if anyone actually knew that they would say like my friend said wow this is a steal. Anyway I replied to her as she had them in her hand and responded to her absurd first statement of who painted these said "they were in an attic for 40 years they were worn twice and put away 40 years ago almost." To be accurate it's 38 years ago this year. But again the confidence of knowing I'm getting $580 on this, I asked that woman to give me those sneakers back immediately I didn't want them in her hands anymore.

First edition 1986 Air Jordans actually have sold between $15,000 and $30,000 after auctions. The reason I got it for the price I did which wasn't bad was unfortunately I didn't have the original box, they were warned three times, and the manner in which I stored them did not prevent humidity from slightly damaging the interior part. Again Sotheby's is a primetime like investment banking place that really shows the details and how they evaluation of a piece of something is done. You go to a place like this you're going to have a person look at it and try to get it for $3 LOL LOL..

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE if you have something of true value, they will nickel and dime you, and quite frankly, as noted they do not understand the process of valuation of products such as these. If you need to get quick money sure, but you're not going to get the most for your buck here. There is no doubt in my mind the manner in which her eyes glazed over these sneakers not understanding what the points of value were on these sneakers and immediately what she tried to find which had nothing to do with valuing these sneakers showed me she's looking for something to say in order to get the least amount which I get. They are trained to look at stuff and try to get nothing out of it But i love the fact that I went in there like this and had the confidence behind me terrible...

I visited one day to get a quote on an item and was given a price. Michelle, who helped me, was kind and even offered a slightly higher amount than the initial quote. She encouraged me to shop around and see if I could get a better offer elsewhere. Before I left, I asked if the offer was firm, and I was told it wouldn’t change.

When I returned later that week to accept the slightly higher offer, the interaction felt very different. Michelle was now firm on the original quote and didn’t acknowledge the higher offer from before. I chose to accept the amount, so I take full responsibility for that decision. However, the tone of the second interaction felt much less welcoming—more transactional and indifferent—compared to the first.

Michelle mentioned she didn’t remember offering a higher amount, which I understand given how many customers they must deal with. Still, just because something isn’t remembered doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. That disconnect left me feeling like I had spoken to two completely different people, and that’s really the root of my concern—not the money, but the inconsistency in the experience.

I fully understand that this is a business and that decisions need to be made quickly. I was even told that when you see a deal, you should take it. But since I was told the offer wouldn’t change, I assumed it would still be valid when I came back. So again, my issue isn’t with the amount I received—it’s with how the tone and communication shifted between visits. That inconsistency is what stood out to me the most.

Response to Owner:

Thanks for the response, but it's clear you missed the entire point of my review. I never once complained about the amount I was offered—I accepted it, and that was my choice. What I did call out was the difference in how I was treated. One day it was all smiles and flexibility, the next it felt like I was bothering you just by walking in.

I was told the offer wouldn’t change, then came back and got a completely different attitude—and suddenly the higher number that was mentioned just vanished from memory. That’s not about the “market climate.” That’s about inconsistent communication and customer experience.

So let’s not pretend this was about price. It’s about how quickly the vibe went from “we’re here to help” to “take it or leave it.” And yeah, I left a review—because customers deserve consistency, not selective memory and a pat on the back for...

I recently visited We Buy Everything Pawn Shop, and I have to say, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. They immediately made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain the pawn process in a way that felt fair and transparent.

What really stood out was how reasonable their offers were. I came in with a few items I was hoping to sell, and the staff took time to carefully evaluate each piece, giving me a fair and competitive price. They also explained how they arrived at their offers, which helped me feel confident about the deal.

Additionally, their selection of items for sale was impressive—well-organized, clean, and reasonably priced. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, they offer a good balance of value without the pressure or rush that can sometimes come with other shops.

Overall, I highly recommend We Buy Everything Pawn Shop to anyone in need of a pawn shop that’s both professional and fair. They take customer satisfaction seriously and offer a much more transparent experience compared to some other places. Definitely a place I’ll return to...
