I'v lived a few blocks away from this place for 16 years. It's been the same guy running the place the whole time. Its always been a pleasure to deal with this gentleman.
I needed a quick short term loan. I had the expectation i might have to shop around pawn shops to find a reasonable valuation on an eclectic set of collectibles and a piece of computer equipment.
Raf was in the store, and despite the unusual nature of the items, he spent the time finding a valuation for a loan. He realized the value of the items, and he also spent the time online to find reasonable selling prices as well.
My entire dealing with Raf was a pleasant one. He was very cordial and easy to deal with. In the end the valuation on the items for purpose of a loan was right in the ballpark that I had expectations for. Raf saved me a trip shopping around pan shops. I'm glad I visited him first!
Great Western Pawn and Raf get two thumbs and 5 stars up for a hassle free, pleasant, and fair dealing. I would highly recommend them!
