BIG ED'S EXCHANGE REVIEWS

Well some of the staff are really nice and some of the staff can be right rude with people if they are in a bad mood but most of the time they are nice to you and some of the staff will give you what you are asking for when you bring something to pawn and if you are there to buy anything some of the staff will give you a discount on what you are getting it depends on who is working and if they are in good moods but it's worth going there to see what they have in the store.

Great bunch of people, fair deals mostly, sometimes a little light, all in all when the time comes when you need some extra cash, this is your Go Too.

Done business here on multiple occasions, buying and selling. Great service, and even better inventory at fair prices.

MAX PAWN AND LOANS REVIEWS

My first time going into a pawn shop to sell items and their customer service was phenomenal for a first timer in a pawn shop, all staff and the dog bear were very friendly! They paid very fair prices for what I brought in and even gave me a complimentary drink on this hot day! The artwork in there is also worth a visit alone. Such a great shop and I will definitely be back!

I have been shopping at Max Pawn for going on 5 years now maybe more. I have dealt with many pawn shops over the years, however, Mac and the rest of the guys at Max Pawn are legitimately the most fair and honest pawn broker I have ever met. I will continue to deal with them as much as I can in the future.

A large selection to choose from and the owner is very reasonable when negotiating prices. Always a pleasant visit here. Highly recommended.

BIG ED'S FURNITURE & CONSIGNMENT REVIEWS

I had tools and battery chainsaws stolen from my truck but they had address labels stuck all over them. The fine employees at this store recognized this and spooked the persons trying to pawn the items. The employee phoned me and I got back everything but the saw. Great guys.

Staff are helpful and friendly. During covid the store is currently limited to at door service. They will still take pawns and you can call to ask about product requests. They also display a lot of products and video games at the entrance, so always worth a look.

I go there all the time and its great they don't get mad if you just walk around looking st things and they gelp you if you need help and got a great selection of games and movies and music and everything including antiques.
