Plaza Pawn & Gun — Local services in Sylva

Meh, tried trading in some guns awhile back and they tried giving me rock bottom prices. It apparently did not matter that I was wanting to trade for another gun, they still only offered "cash value" which was less than half of what I could have sold them for on Armslist.

Offering $100 for the SAME GUN you are selling used in your display case for $300 is wrong, correct???

Anybody with even a little common sense knows to walk away from that deal....

And yes, I understand you have to pay employees and pay rent for the building, etc... BUT, offering less than 40% of my guns value is borderline morally wrong.

I guess I forgot how pawnshops work and I cant hold it against them.

Just do not expect a decent offer for your guns, if you needed cash immediately be prepared to take a bath on it.

Honestly you need to be more flexible when someone approaches you for a trade, try not to low-ball everybody or you might loose business. You need to make the customer feel like they got at least a half-decent deal.

Seeing how your respond to feedback reaffirms my commitment to avoid your business and discourage others from doing business with you.

I got the ring appraised by a certified appraiser, still have the paperwork. The...

I have used this pawnshop a lot over the years. Never really pawned anything but purchased a lot of things there. They used to take the power bills there. Today I went in there to pay the power bill and stood around while the employees walked right past me for about 20 minutes. I actually had my eye on a camera in the case. I was seriously going to buy the camera as well as paying the power bill. When I told the guy what I was there for he said “well hell we don’t do that anymore!”. And then he just walked off. I just told him “well, like I really wanted to buy that camera in the case, but you know what screw it!” I’m not saying they’re bad people but they damn sure blew me off. I had the money for the camera but I’ll find one on eBay before I spend my money there....
