Windy City Jewelry & Loan in Elgin, IL

Went in with a 2.4 gram 10k ring. Scrap value would be roughly 40$ today. I asked for 20$. I kid you not the woman counter offered me 35$.

I love Windy City for the 3 months you can pay off yo loan, alongside their friendliness.

They gave me back a broke item I'm never going to this pawn shop ever again they use people stuff u Cannot trust them seen it too many times

If you buy from them, be your own professional at knowing what you buy. I bought a PS3 controller from them (with warranty) and took it home only to find out that it was defective. Took it back to the shop so it could get fixed and they so called "fixed" it. It they did something to the triggers so it would work for just a few button presses and then back to broken it goes. They would not replace the item with another controller even though I took it at least 4 times to the shop. They said as long as they can keep fixing it during the time of the warranty, they don't need to exchange it for another controller. Temporary fixes are not fixes, it's just more proof that you CAN'T fix something. If you buy from here, I advise you not to get a warranty, buy anything and everything cheaper than what they are asking, and know how to fix problems on your own. I will not be buying anything else from this place again. They don't care about customers even if they buy warranties, they just care for your money.

Had two one oz. gold coins I was looking to sell. Gold sells for the current melt value. I was quoted 700 dollars under melt value. If your dealing in coins and precious metals don't come here. They will screw you completely. I found a coin shop in Elgin that gave me the current value of my gold. This place is a joke.
