Always Willing to Work

“Staff is great, knowledgeable, and friendly! I’ve been dealing with them for over 10yrs and I've NEVER had a problem with them and would never go anywhere else! They are ALWAYS willing to work with you on their buyback program! Even in situations where I was late on the payment, they worked with me to send my stuff home! (Which they definitely don’t have to do!) The whole staff knows me by name and vice versa and greet me as soon as walk in! I've been to all the other shops but I prefer the Swap Shop hands down! They are NOT out to milk you for every dollar you have like the others in this town. And anyone that tries to say they have had a bad experience definitely has more to the story! The owner and staff are always fair, and go out of their way to help you leave happy! Keep up the great work guys!!”

–Truexander

Keep up the Good Work

“I have been dealing with Steve since the swap shop opened. Steve and his staff have been amazing the entire time - even when I was late getting my stuff back, they always worked with me and I have never had anything put on the shelves. Whoever this guy is who says they put his stuff up for sale after one day late, give your head a shake, bud I’ve been over a month late and it just does not happen unless you never get back to them, or tell them to. Keep up the good work Steve, you and your staff are kickass.”

–Bram D.

Knowledgeable

“The guys in the shop are some of the best I've ever had in retail, and are actually knowledgeable in most areas concerning video games, so I always go to them! Also the fact that they double the prices from the hock shop is nice too!”

–Christopher J.

Visually Appealing Shop

“In my opinion, First Stop Swap Shop is the only pawn shop that gives a "small town feeling" by caring enough to get to know their frequent customers. The staff are down to earth, knowledgeable, friendly, and aren't out to gouge or rip off people. As well, Steve and his staff have ensured return customers by putting on an array of contests (I won an Xbox a couple years ago!) and by making the shop as visually appealing, clean, and welcoming as they can. After visiting other pawn shops in town, I now ONLY go to First Stop Swap Shop! ;)”

–Amber W.
