Nanaimo was my destination this day to visit my friend Karin for coffee and conversation…read more Our first stop was to pick up a CD player at StockXChangers. At first glance, I'm thinking "Hey, lots of stuff here, good store, lots of room." We look around and come up with a player to test. The salesman was very helpful, taking the unit over to their test room, and asked us to pick a CD from their racks for testing. After much thought, we came up with a CD for testing, unfortunately the Player would not co-operate and refused to recognize it. We located a second player, and took that in for testing. Another CD was gathered, finally it did work (in 1 spot anyway of the 5 ... it was a 5 CD player) OK, Karin pays for the player, and then asks the salesman to carry it out to the car for her. FIne right? Well, you guessed it ... once home the CD player did NOT work, and when Karin returns it to the store, she hears from the now tall blonde saleswoman "You gave our salesman a difficult time, treating him miserably", so they would NOT refund her $, giving her a voucher instead. Needless to say, I did NOT see, hear any such treatment. This is a store we will NOT be returning to , nor will we recommend it to anyone. Positives? There's a Tims nearby.

When i took some of my son's electronics to sell, they told everyone that i tried to steal the merchandice back after selling it. They never confronted me about it but told others.

I went into A1 on the weekend, as I was looking for a Mac. Mark was the person helping me. Really…read morenice guy, he listened to what I was looking for and my price range. Mark and I even joked about me being such a Mac geek while he was bubble wrapping the computer for me. Over his shoulder I saw an Xbox Series One X, so I inquired. We bantered back and forth a little, then agreed on a price. HOWEVER, when he plugged it in to make sure everything was working properly he noticed a flaw. He took down the price again and asked me if i still wanted it. I said "yes of course". Point is, most places don't care and sell it at normal price. Most places don't take the time to get to know what their customers are looking for. Mark took the time. I walked out of there a VERY happy customer. Yes, I will be going back there. I recommend you check out this place. PS. Mac and Xbox work perfectly. Thank you for your friendly service. Trena

The salesman took pity on me driving from Squamish (100 k) to buy a cheaper one he had just sold, so he gave me a 20% discount from his price of $1050. I have seen the same item on Amazon for upwards of $1600. I would certainly do business there again.

I had a gold bracelet I wanted to sell, so before I went into this pawn shop, I weighed the…read morebracelet myself and looked online to get a rough estimate on how much scrap gold was going for at that time. ​Based off the online price of scrap gold at the time and the weight of my bracelet, the bracelet was worth $300.00 I knew that the pawn shops price for scrap gold would be less than the online price, so I used the online price just ​for a rough estimate to keep in mind. ​I went into the pawn shop and spoke to the guy behind the counter for a few minutes, and I'm assuming the few questions I asked him about gold gave him the impression that I didn't really know anything about it. Which is true, I don't know anything about it at all, except for the scrap value of it online. T​he guy offered me $150 for it and told me ​they offer 10 to 15% less than standard scrap value because of the time it takes them to prepare gold to be scrapped , I told him that when I looked online at scrap gold price and ran the numbers, the bracelet is worth around $300. He proceeded to tell me that the most he can give me for it is $150.00 I was going to accept it because I needed the money, but when I handed him my driver's license to finish the deal, he reminded me that my license was expired and I would need to come back in with a valid form of ID to go through with the deal. ​All and all, my driver's license being expired that day kept me from losing out on $100.00 because a few days later I went out to a gold buyer in sequim and he offered me $250.00 for the exact same bracelet!!
