A-Z Exchange, Lafayette, IN

My favorite pawn shop in town. They have so much different stuff at amazing prices. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about their product. I definitely recommend them to everyone!

A little while back I took a 25 gram necklace and asked the old guy the value, liters what can I get for my necklace? He swore up and down $200 was a more than fair price. He only paid by the penny weight and the amount of grams was irrelevant. The older guy was training some younger kids and kept whispering to them and repeating, ‘yeah that’s a fair price’ I later found out, 1200-1590 was standard pricing to sell that amount of gold at any other shop in town. He pulled a good one on me. Well, it was gold plated on silver from a flea market I found out later from my friend. So I went back to clear the air until I saw it was being sold for $1600. I thought he was too enamored at the idea of keeping an extra $1400 that he forgot to test the chain, so that is the first warning when buying jewelry here. Some neighbors also walked in and let him throw out a professional estimate for their double plated items. Again, grossly under market value for solid gold but beyond amazing prices if you have plated jewelry that you can’t even get $20 at the other shops, he will snidely purchase your junk jewelry at a ‘fair market price’ Moral being, he has underhanded purchase techniques and at least a dozen items in the display are not solid gold being sold as pure karat items. He was not told they were real, he was clearly asked what material were the items made from and what value do they have? Please take your Real gold and sell it at other shops and get a decent bang for your buck. I was very disappointed that he tried to pull this scam over but we both agreed to the price. Fair is fair when you let the pawnshop throw out the top dollar they are willing to pay.

Best place in town, they are ALWAYS helpful and friendly and they know if you are trying to get a loan on your items that you obviously need money and they dont rip you off like every other place I've been too . Great place and even greater people work there.

These guys are really nice and will work with you. Not rude like most pawn shops. Really willing to help out when you need help. Also, have great deals on used merchandise. Highly Recommended!

Went in and got some video games and asked them if they worked which they had said yes they have to test the games out and we asked if they don't work if we could return them. A lady had told us absolutely we could. Coke to find out they don't take them back and after she sold them to us our receipt says no returns AND the video games do not work!!! Worst pawn shop ever such dishonest people!!!! Will definitely warn friends and family.

Stop ! Before you waste precious time and gas! I have brought numerous different items on numerous different occasions only to be turned away. Items like Battery powered tools, a gaming laptop , carpet cleaners , etc...all items every other pawn store on the planet accept as items to do loans on. Please save yourself the headache they don't want your business because they've had enough of it and Inventory is full. I'd be surprised if they are around in 5 years.

What a awesome place to get music gear, and other stuff you need that you don't even know you need yet !
