Top Cash Pawn ripoff- charge nearly new prices for used items, pay less than 10% Pflugerville Texas
Top Cash Pawn in Pflugerville, Texas and in Austin, Texas are big ripoffs. Most the things they have for sale used can be bought new for a few dollars more than what they charge. They charge 90 to 95% of new retail.
But when seeking loans they either reject without valid reasons good, working items, including working digital cameras [offered $15 for it], laminators, office machines, and jewelry [gold plated] because they were "old" and a windows 98 cd. Or pay less than 10% of what half-price value is. They pay less than half of what other pawn shops in the area pay for the exact same items.
They are a chain that have Rip-offs bigger than Texas. Their big signs advertising loans are dishonest, deceitful and carry about 500% interest. These folks are nothing less than down right crooked

My friend has a pawn shop, and he pays about 20% of estimated value, and resells at about what you stated. The money is made not on selling the goods, but by you coming back in and making your payment each month. Each shop tries to keep their regulars coming back and there is no point in "ripping you off." Think of it as a loan company that will still loan money to people that have a history of not paying their bills. Better to lose your daddy's watch than have a loan shark break your legs, right?
