This pawn shop has been here for as long as I can remember. I actually bought my first Clarinet…read morehere when I was in middle school! It was decently priced, and I still own it to this day. It has never given me any issues. Recently, we paid a couple of visits to sell some odds and ends just to make a few bucks. I honestly was a bit skeptical because usually pawn shops are pretty picky when it comes to buying items... But so far, this is the ONLY pawn shop in the area that doesn't rip you off. They give you your money's worth, and usually give you what you're asking. If not, they make an amazing deal with you. The staff are wonderful, knowledgeable and understanding. I'm so glad we made the choice to sell to Hickory Pawn! I'm not the only person extremely satisfied though, my husband, my aunt, my mother in law, and my dad all FOUR love this pawn shop!

I've driven past Gold King on Startown Road and Highway 70 for years but had never stopped in until…read moreI recently started downsizing. I had a few items to sell, and from my very first visit, I could tell I was dealing with someone who is honest, respectful, and genuinely kind. What really impressed me was when I found an old gold ring I no longer needed. I arrived at 5:58 p.m., just two minutes before closing. The door was already locked, but he saw me, came to the door, and took the time to help me anyway. He never made me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing him. I honestly thought I might get around $30 for the ring. When he offered me $230, I was absolutely floored! I'd heard people say Gold King pays some of the best prices around, and now I know it's true. One thing I really appreciate is that he's extremely knowledgeable. He clearly knows his business and takes pride in what he does. He's fair, honest, and respectful, but he's also experienced and knows the value of what he's buying and selling. That gave me a lot of confidence that I was dealing with someone who truly knows his craft. They also have a gaming store right next door, which my son enjoyed checking out. It's a great place if you're into video games and collectibles. If you're looking for a place that's honest, fair, knowledgeable, and offers excellent prices, I highly recommend Gold King. I'll definitely be back!

I found them to be very professional, honest and knowledgeable…read more I returned the next day with some old sterling silver goblets and again felt the price he offered was very fair. Would recommend Gold King to anyone looking for an honest fair evaluation. karen S

I asked if they know what breeds will be available & was sharply told 'we won't know that until we order them'. I said thank you & he didn't say you're welcome, but as he was hanging up he mumbled under his breath 'godamighty'. The least he could do if he was having a bad day or was frustrated by me or something else, is to wait until hanging up before cursing. It is like this EVERY time and I will NEVER do business with them again!
