A Cut Above Pawn - Home

everytime i have gone here their guns are more for a used gun than a new model and they wont really haggle on price,then i tried to pawn a gun and scope there when i hit rough times and they wanted to give me $150 for an $1100 set up.
same with beaverton pawn though,i know its a business and needs to make a profit but i would rather borrow from a mob boss
it would be easier to have your legs broken if you dont pay back the amount you borrowed than get raped by these two pawn shops.
i will never give either of them a dime again because they over charge but give no break to long time customers

Pawn shops are TERRIBLE for purchasing handguns, at least in medford. 5 different shops and every one of them sold their guns HIGHER than NIB price. Not only that but you never know what exactly you're buying. It could have 4k rounds through it. I saw a glock 26 that looked like it had been thrown down some concrete stairs and they were asking 499. I offered 325 and said 499 was the sale price, guns don't depriciate in value. I'm sorry but guns that look like they were sent back from Iraq do!

Nicely put! I never did understand why pawns charge more for a used piece then a new one. And how they felt right offering and paying so low for stuff then marking it up beyond belief! Sheesh...

Answer is because people pay...

I only use them for transfers. $20 out the door and no BS.

Their prices suck which is why I buy online.

Okay, I don't hate pawn shops. H*ll, I even watch one on TV! Times are rough, and they can sometimes be be a temporary, albeit expensive, solution in an emergency. Luckily, I've never had to scrape like that.

I have no gun experience (or any other) at A Cut Above, but they do something else that really turns me off. As a buyer/seller/trader of guitars, I peruse Craigslist a lot. More than a few times, I've phoned what appeared to be a private seller only to finally figure out (5-6 very deliberate questions into the conversation) that it's that d*mn pawnshop again. The fact that they answer the phone with "hello," instead of a standard business greeting (like the name of the shop), and then offer evasive answers, tells me they want people like me to think they're a private party, at least long enough to set the hook.

Maybe, just maybe, it's the actual owner of the guitar, who happens to work there, too. But I doubt it. Just to be fair, I went and looked once. The telling part to me was when the 13 year old with me asked why everything looked so "beat up and junky, with brand new prices." A cut below in my humble opinion.

But it's good to know they do transfers for $20. Maybe I will stop by again if I need papers. Thanks for the tip!
