    Very rude employees, asked how they were and they rolled their eyes with me, very disrespectful in everyway. In addition, the way they spoke to me was cruel. Never come here, rude and arrogant people. Cheap people. In addition whoever mentioned they are hillbillies on a power trip are correct. If I had the ability to shut this store down I would, never coming back and hope you guys go bankrupt.

    Have been to this Buckeye Pawn on only 2 occasions, of which were enough for me to decide to NEVER deal with any of their stores or affiliates. My first visit I was met with a deplorable and poor excuse for a rifle and shotgun collection, that were strung with a cable bike lock against an ugly improvised wood shelf.These were also outrageously marked up given the guns value in at least a decent used condition. The handguns were a bit more professionally kept, but were also outrageously marked for their terrible condition. While looking at the firearm selection, my wife and 2 year old looked at the jewelry. We had to leave due to the terse and boorish tones we were met with my the staff. Far from a professional environment for a person to bring their hard earned dollar. My second visit was more recent. Being empathetic person I see myself as, I had assumed my first visit may have been just a bad day for the employees. I WAS WRONG. I had brought in a couple of watches to sell that I had inherited from my Grandfather, so that I may boost my saving for a house down payment. When my Grandfather had purchased the watches in the 70's, even I could not believe what he had paid for them. They were by NO MEANS cheap pieces. The heavyset and bald white gentleman had glanced them over, and held them for all of about 10 seconds before claiming that they were fake. I had asked the reason behind how he could tell such a thing, without testing/examining the gold or disassembling them to view their serial numbers. His response was "They ain't heavy enough in my mind." The man didn't even have the decency to use the digital scale 3 feet from him. Of course I had left very offended, and had posted the watches online a short time later. LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY SOLD TO A WATCH BROKER OF WHOM HAS RECOGNIZED THEIR AUTHENTICITY. I can understand if your company could not afford the items, but please do not tell someone an item is fake without doing a more thorough check than "they don't FEEL heavy enough."

    One of the worst pawnshops around. Very rude employees who rush you over everything. I called to ask questions about pawning something and they gave very little detail of requirements, and rush you off the phone but when I got in there they had a whole bunch of other requirements they knitpicked and bullshitted about. I would literally recommend any other pawnshop over this one.

    Wish I could give negative stars! This pawn shop makes you FEEL like you're less than them when you go in to pawn something! Will never go in to pawn anything with them, EVER!

    First time going in and it took about 5 minutes before they even asked to help me. Then didnt have what I was looking for and so I decided to look at the rest of the store and the lady followed me around like I was going to try and steal something. Wont be back and wont recommend this place to anyone. No wants to feel like that when shopping for something.

    Pointless to call ahead and ask if they take things drove 20 min for the guy to tell me no they don't take my stuff when over the phone they did then had a bad attitude. The older fat guy with 5 chins is an a** trying to show off in front of another customer. Plain and simple rude place and carry themselves like they are better then everyone in the store.

    They are the rudest people ever! Wouldn't even take the time to look up the correct info cause they just wanted to go home granted it was still supposed to be open for 10 more minutes! Offered me some bs price cause they didn’t want to do their job. Karma’s a mother! Hope they don’t end up in a tight spot and expect something from someone. If there was an option for negative stars I would definitely give them that. Also followed my husband around while he was just looking. Felt like some racial profiling in there.

    First time there. Took two items to see if they would buy them. Fat guy there was sooooo rude. Told me the item I brought in was only good for a wall hanging and closed the case with a bang. Then looked at rings and said they were worthless and tossed them back in the box. He had an attitude that he was better then me. All he had to say, politely, was that the items were not pawnable. Instead he had to make me look stupid and insult me in front of other customers. Will NOT recommend them to anyone.

    I'd honestly leave ZER0 stars if I could. Aside from all the similar 5star ratings left all at the same time 8 or 9 months ago, fake accounts and fake reviews the owners use to boost a very low overall rating, the majority of these reviews will tell you the same things...#1 Even over the money paid/charged is the short chubby bald guy and what a rude son of a who-are he is...and he is! He's a little fat sawfty with limp wrists and an eager mouth so GRNDR fellas hit him up. #2 the con-men business practices. I always thought that being in the edge of the hood meant they likely dealt with any number of headaches from a "rough" clientele but now I believe it to be the opposite and these scammers taking advantage of being located in such a poor and depressed area where they're very often someone's last hope for a loan. And #3 their joke of a sales floor. I realize prices and values change but the bulk of merchandise at this store hasn't seen the light of day in YEARS and because so is likely mispriced....so you might feel compelled to make an offer IF YOU KNOW AN ITEMS VALUE, don't. Your offer will be denied as that sorry, short fugly, bald virgin cannot handle even the suggestion that he's wrong and over priced something. I'd recommend staying far, far, far, far, far away from this location and I think it's a real shame that they do take advantage of the neighborhood and the vulnerable. ZERO STARS

    The action on all of there bass guitars are so low the strings flap, most need new electronics and I was harassed around the store my whole stay. Was gonna buy a bass but after my experience here I won't be coming back. If you want a guitar you have to fix and pay full price for, come here.

  • 1/5 Jx R. 4 years ago on Google
    A little annoyed. I dropped a ring off to get resized. First I called and made sure they did the service the lady told me it would take 5 days. Cool, I go in the guy tells me it will take 9 days. Ok whatever cool. I dropped the ring off with him after he spends about 5 mins inspecting it. I call the day before to see if it’s been done the lady says he’s still working on it it’ll be done tomorrow or end of business. Cool. 5 mins later she calls back and says he can’t do it because the ring will buckle. This is fine if you can’t you can’t but you literally held on to my ring for 8 days to tell me this? Why didn’t you tell me when you were inspecting it for 5 mins? Why didn’t you call me to tell me you couldn’t do it after a few days passed? Why would you waste my time? If I never called I wonder how long I would’ve been waiting for something that never was going to happen.

    My favorite pawn shop to go to. The staff is nice and can always find some great finds here. I definitely recommend stopping in and taking a look here.

  • 1/5 Holiver G. 3 years ago on Google
    If I could give a lower rating, I would. 😒 Simply rude! I would definitely go somewhere else if you would like to be treated even remotely well, with a hair of respect, and not belittled at entry.

  • 2/5 Mike O. 7 years ago on Google
    It was alright. But they dispite saying they take electronics, would not take anything older than maybe a year. So trying to sell a projector or TV media box or even a computer scanner was apparently out of the question.

    Wonderful place! I've done alot of jewelry shopping here and NEVER was disappointed. Jennifer is amazing, she helped me through my jewelry shopping and whatever I was looking for and if they didn't have she showed me books and we bounced ideas off each other and come out with beautiful jewelry. I was able to receive my jewelry within the next business day. It's a great place and they treat you like they have known you your whole life. Please drop in they have something for everyone. Men,women, kids shop for everyone.

    The workers there are very helpful. For jewelry needs ask for Jennifer and her husband, I asked for them when it comes to all my jewelry need. I love the pieces I have brought from them. They have a large range of gold, from diamonds to 10k and 14k. There not like other pawnshop’s where they try to over price used jewelry, all their prices are reasonable and when you become a regular customer they even will cut deals or take some off from the full price. I love buckeye pawnshop!

  • 5/5 Rita H. 2 years ago on Google • 8 reviews
    This is the best place to purchase jewelry and other items. The people are friendly and no matter how often I shop I can always find something I like. In fact, I can't remember when I last entered a jewelry store to buy something. Whenever I go into the store, I am made to feel like family and the experience is quite pleasant.

  • 1/5 Skyler D. 1 year ago on Google
    I went in there a month ago and the staff was rude me and my girlfriend at the time went in there to sale things to them I had a fossil watch and it worked told me it was fake even though I bought it from a fossil store. My girlfriend wanted to sale some jewelry and he didn’t even take a look at it and pushed everything too us and told us too leave. I wouldn’t recommend going here cause the customer service is terrible nobody should be treated rudely.

  • 5/5 M R. 4 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I have been a customer at this Buckeye Pawn for many years and have always been treated very well, regardless if I am buying or selling, mostly jewelry for me. I have taught my boys that before they buy a new “pricey” item at the retail store, to check the pawn shop first. Recently, my future husband and I purchased jewelry sets and found everything we needed and had the rings sized at their in house jewelry repair. Their jewelry selection exceeds expectations and the selection covers many different tastes. My youngest son likes to check out their cd selection, and recently picked up on a bunch of them for a really great price. My oldest son likes to check out the computers and tool selection. This is just a great stop for some really awesome finds.

  • 1/5 Sierra T. 3 years ago on Google
    My fiance went to go get his toolbox from there. And no one would help him put it in his truck. They could of helped him bc if 2 guys would of went out there and all 3 of them put it in the truck no one would of got hurt. So I called the manager and told him about it and he was being very rude saying im not going to sit here and talk to you about this and hung up on me. We never used to have a problem with them till now other than they used to follow us around the store when we was there looking around. Not a way to treat anyone no matter there skin color. I will never be going back to the one on Harrisburg Pike unless I'm getting what we have in there out.

  • 1/5 Kaylee W. 4 years ago on Google
    Tried to sell a class ring from class 2014 Grove city high school and I’m not sure if this is because they make them different nowadays so they look completely different from the class rings they were making in 75 or what. In other words you should probably get current because I went in & I was told it didn’t look real. I spent over 500 dollars on this ring . Real diamonds, 10k white gold and instead of testing it he decided to turn me away. Maybe if this place didn’t run their business on their ego’s then you wouldn’t have 2.4 stars . Never will I walk back into this place .

    Good prices. Friendly staff. My go-to pawn shop.

  • 1/5 Danielle J. 2 years ago on Google
    I went in here a couple of days ago with a Fossil watch to sell. The lady I spoke with asked how much I wanted for it and I said $60. She asked her manager over to take a look and realized that the battery was not working. They said okay to the $60 but said the battery had to be replaced. A couple of days later I came back with the watch and a new battery in it. The lady I originally spoke with said $25 right and I said no $60 that is what had been discussed. The manager came out and proceeded to tell me that I must have misunderstood and they would never give me $60 for the watch. He tried to give me $30 to pawn after the battery just cost me $13.96. I explained to him that I would have never replaced the battery if that is all I was going to get. He talked over me, was very disrespectful and kept arguing that they never agreed to $60. When I proceeded to tell him that this was terrible customer service and I would be writing a review he said he would right a review on me?! For what being a customer trying to sell something to them? As he proceeded to talk over me again I told him that no matter what I said I understood that the outcome wasn't going to change and I thanked them for their time. I understand now why their review rating is so low. No one should be treated this way.

  • 5/5 Connie T. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been coming here for a lot of years! This is the best, knowledgeable, friendly pawn shop in Ohio! Several locations and great hours to get you in and out in a safe manner. Carries a variety of items to either purchase or be able to get some much needed cash in tough times. Very friendly staff!

    All the employees were very polite and helped us with selecting the best item that they had at their store with a really reasonable price. They also gave us time to have the item checked out. I would recommend everyone to stop by and check out what they have, it's worth your trip.

    I was traveling from Montana to PA for a family get together. Stopped in here looking for inventory for my computer store in Montana. Was impressed by the selection and prices. I mentioned the deals needed to be good, since Montana does not have sales tax. He made a deal that made me feel like I had picked Door #3 and the big deal of the day. All units are in working order. I would have no problem buying from here again when I return. Great selection and great prices. Friendly staff as well.

Rob was very professional and there wasn’t a second where I doubted anything during the process. Would recommend...
