I've been doing business with this pawn shop for a little over a year, and I truly believed they…read morewere trustworthy. Unfortunately, I was proven wrong. The staff saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation by dropping my items so they could purchase my gold chain themselves, claiming it had been sold to the original owner. I trusted this store with my belongings, only to feel like the staff manipulated the system to get my chain for the original loan amount. I will never do business with this store again. Trust is everything, and once it's broken, it's hard to earn back.

If one of the employees wants something you brought, good luck getting it back. Bad service. Go…read moresomewhere else.

When you walk inside you do not get the feel of being in a traditional pawn shop. It's very clean and well organized. Oliver and another gentleman whose name I can't remember assisted me during my visit. They were very kind and patience while explaining the process of how their store works. Although I was taken care of by these two gentlemen, I also met the rest of the staff in the building. They all came out to introduced themselves and say "hi". After my visit I received a call from the store manager thanking me for being a customer at their shop. I thought that was extremely kind of her to take time and contact me. I would definitely recommend this pawn shop and plan to do business again with them in the future.

SECOND FIVE STAR REVIEW posted 05/29/24 Last year, I went to…read moreHigh Grade Coins in Elmwood Park to sell my old coins. The owner, Mike, had been so knowledgable and pleasant to deal with that I decided to go back to High Grade Coins a second time, this time to sell some old jewelry. Once again, Mike was patient and professional, and the payout I received from him was more than generous. So, whether you are trading in coins or gold, if you want your transaction to be stress free and you want to be paid top dollar for your goods, I highly recommend Mike and High Grade Coins. Five well deserved stars.

Absolute Perfection! We had never been to a jewelry/pawn store, but highly…read morerecommended suggestions from a few folks suggested Berwyn's Sterling & Knight ~ it was and is perfection. We were welcomed warmly and immediately the crewe attended to our needs. We felt immediately safe and assured that we'd found the right place. Edwin, Elizabeth and the rest of the crewe are amazing ~ we felt comfortable and assured, we were informed step-by-step on each item that was examined, weighted & priced. We were always involved in the process ~ well over two and a half hours ~ we learned so much and we knew we were working together with professionals, honest and fair and also quite blunt about items that weren't suitable. The sense of honesty was amazing, that alone was a plus in their corner. The atmosphere was clean, bright, cheerful and welcoming. The men and women at the shop are gracious and welcoming, professional and sincerely honest ... along with a kind of joy in their work and undoubtedly their happy customers. Many bits of laughter and joy made the entire experience the absolute perfection. Thank you to the family of professionals who welcomed us in, went straight to helping us and kept the spirits high and encouraging. Thank you for it a perfect day! Cheers to Edwin, Elizabeth and everyone at Sterling & Knight! We highly recommend S&K in Berwyn. Barbara & William

We came in to get the battries replaced for our watches and within 15 minutes both batteries were replaced for $7 each and we were on our merry way. Besides the usual pawn shop fare, this one had plenty of DVD's and CD's on sale too, some for about a buck a pice. If you're leery about pawn shops, and you should be, at least give this one a try next time your priceless gold chain breaks. They'll fix it in no time and you'll still have enough cash in your pocket to buy some used movies.
