Best Jewelry & Loan Pawn Broker in Gainesville, FL

After using several other pawn shops in Gville, Best jewelry and pawn gave me the best prices on gold and old jewelry. Nutty place and fun to do business there.

I just got done reading all of these reviews. Some of you people are talking like you’re going to a restaurant or you’re going to live there. Yes, the store can be cluttered at times. Yes, the owner can talk to you for a while. But, at the end of the day I go there when I need help financially, so all of those things are irrelevant to me. I have been going to this place for six years now. I have been treated with nothing but the upmost respect from everybody that works there. I never feel cheated out of anything. I usually pawn things not sell them. When I come back to pick them up he usually doesn’t even charge me the whole finance fee because he knows I will be back again, and I am a loyal customer. So to me that makes me feel as though he appreciates me as his customer. If he didn’t care then he would charge me the fee on my contract even when I came back a week after getting the loan because I agreed to that price when I got the money. I just recently bought my son a Spider Man Schwinn bike from his shop. I told him I only had a small amount of money for the bike, and he looked it up on his system to see what he paid for it, and he let me get the bike for the same amount. Nobody on this planet can tell me that any other pawn shop would have done that. Everybody else could care less that it was for my ten year old son; they just want to make money off of it. The owner obviously has a good heart, and that is hard to find now a days. If you want to deal with honest, good hearted people I would most definitely recommend this place. It’s hard to find that in people in today’s world.

Richard is the best pawn broker in town. He is fair to everyone. He gives the best price and really tries to work with anyone and everyone. He pays the best price for gold. Don't waste your time anywhere else!

This is a dirt hole don't let the other reviews fool you. I know that half of the people who wrote positive reviews are actually associated with or employees of this pawn shop. The dirty hippie of an owner, who obviously lacks good hygiene and respect, will tell you that all your stuff is worth way less than it is. Try and hassle you down to a fraction of what it is worth. This guy is a rude in your face kind of guy who obviously had way too many trips on acid back in the day. The rest of the staff is composed of an old idiot and a young idiot and one or two crack heads that literally just sit there and look at you and talk to the owner as he rants and raves about nothing. They try and constantly talk about the other shops and say they wouldn't buy half of the stuff i buy, which is because he mostly services neighborhood crack heads and basically stealing there jewelry because there are also too stupid to realize that he is a rip off. Well if your an idiot and want to get ripped off this is the place to go. This review is not inappropriate if you have ever been there and all those who have which is numerous people feel the same way. This is the real review of the shop not the owner trying to promote his junk yard of a store.

I would describe this shop as unorganized, unprofessional, and unhelpful. The place is an absolute mess, stuff everywhere in piles rather than displayed in any kind of arranged pattern. Clearly the store of a hoarder. What is worse, however, is every time I have gone in (4, in total) the guy behind the counter has been talking politics with someone and waited several minutes before finally asking if I needed any help. Furthermore, he seems put out, as if I am bothering him by coming to his place of business. Rest assured, I won't go in a fifth time. Any positive reviews I have read here contradict the experiences of anyone whom I have spoken to in person and I suspect that the positive reviews are written by the owner himself as it would be impossible for anyone but the owner or his weird friends to have a positive impression of this shop. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time.
