I was ready to drive away because I thought they were closed but called and they told me only the door by the ramp is open! I suggested a "use door by ramp" sign but they just laughed at me. Not only were they not very friendly. They weighed a big handful of all sterling silver (over 14 ounces!) and offered me $10, and when I complained that the going rate, as indicated online that morning, was over $2000 per ounce, they insisted that pawn shops only offer 70 cents on an ounce! And that's not the biggest rip off! I also had few small14k and one 18k gold piece to pawn - a few pieces. They offered me $300, which I also didn't think was fair. I then drove to South Charlotte Jewelry & Loan who loaned me $533 for the same gold (without the sterling silver) that Smart Pawn offered for $300!! So beware! I would never, ever go back to Smart Pawn and Jewelry again! Their prices are out of touch and they are ripping people off! At South Charlotte they were sweet as pie - like I was in a different world. They deserve your business and are only 10 to 15 minutes away from Smart Pawn but worth the drive!

The Central Avenue Jewelry & Pawn shop is such a representation of how the Plaza Midwood…read moreneighborhood and Charlotte as a city used to be during the '70s and '80s when there were many pawn shops and triple-x movie theatres. As Charlotte went through its boom in the '90s and '00s, many of these places disappeared as older streetcar neighborhoods gentrified at a rapid pace and were replaced by yuppiefied establishments. It is great that Central Avenue, despite the many changes of businesses that have come and gone, has been able to retain this type of business amidst the supposed upscale bars and eateries found nearby. Every time I walk past I always peer inside because there's always something interesting to look at. I recently stopped by and browsed through their assortment of items and saw that they have old estate-looking jewelry as well as random memorabilia, bicycles, musical instruments and the like. The young man working there was quite pleasant and amiable and told me that their Late Night Pawn, a well-known neighborhood joint in the rear of the building, has not been open recently due to a shortage of staff but I suspect that it is closed for other reasons. If you decide that you are interested in purchasing or pawning, there is no reason not to come here, especially since this place is not seedy like the other pawn shops remaining in Charlotte. I found a cool-looking old pendant that was well priced that I gave to a dear friend who likes these sorts of unique, and old, pieces. I give this place a 3.5 our of 5.

I brought my wedding band to this business to be re-sized. When I finally returned to pick it up,…read moreI was told it had gotten "misplaced". Because the owner and employees were very polite, I gave them an extremely generous amount of time and numerous second chances to find it; finally, many months later, it's clear they are just stonewalling, cannot find this object I entrusted them with (engraved, with sentimental value, and which my wife purchased for me for $3,400), but refuse to file an insurance claim (after telling me many months ago they would, if necessary). Now I'm told they want ME to file a claim on MY Homeowner's Insurance, which is ridiculous and which my agent verified. Even though the employee I spoke with today (whose name I shall withhold here at least at this time) claimed to have the ability to hack into my personal financial information on the computer, and threatened to do so, after I explained that I would be taking this very step in posting my experiences, I am doing this anyway because I think this business's practices should be exposed. (I wouldn't want to be him after his statement if it turns out, coincidentally or otherwise, that I ever DO get hacked.) Be VERY wary about who you entrust your valuables with; based on my experience I STRONGLY suggest you avoid Central Avenue Jewelry & Pawn.

The 8 Cash America Pawn stores in Charlotte NC all use the towing service's from Tip Towing of…read moreCharlotte NC to remove vehicles from their parking lots. I agree, and respect that Cash America Pawn or any other business hire a towing company and post signs in their parking lots. The responsibility falls on the business owners to know who they are hiring and it's a reputable company!!! I encourage Cash America Pawn to Google this company and read everything about Tip Towing of Charlotte. If you still use Tip Towing of Charlotte after what you read about them online, Shame on you Cash America Pawn of Charlotte NC for condoning the practices of Tip Towing!!! Tip Towing of Charlotte is not a reputable company or a legal entity. Tip Towing is a predatory towing service, are thieves who charge outrageously fees so high that people can't afford to pay to get their car back. The fees that they charged me were $7000!!! Tip Towing pressured me 3 times to just sign the vehicle title over to them. They give you 30 days to pay the fees, and if you don't they will sell your vehicle.
