Cash Converters

Hi, I have recently been in my local Cash Converters in Bowthorpe near Norwich. Although I have had bad experiences with Cash Converters before, this shop is different. The staff are helpful and easy to talk to and with a range of aged staff from 17 to over 30 they have a wide knowledge of all the products. The manger is helpful and understanding often doing favours for customers that the Norwich stores wouldn't even consider. However there is an American member of staff which pays next to nothing for items and can be quite short with some customers. The salesmen are funny and are good fun for when you just want a chat. Generally a great aura. The ...  Read the complete review

I bought a DVD player for my autistic daughter to have in the car to keep her occupiued in a nerby Cash Converters . It came with a 3 month warranty but packed up after a month. Taking it back I was given a "credit note" , though quite who it credits I don't really know! and was told that I would be contacted when another came in stock. Not suprisingly this has not happened in 3 months , though they did call to apologise last week. However every time I go in the chap I delt with seems to be on a day off and today I was told with a shrug of the shoulders that I would "have to spend it here" All I wanted was my money back to go buy a new one which I ...  Read the complete review

Cash Converters is a modern take on an old fashioned idea - the Pawn Shop. Everyone needs a little extra cash when times are tight. Cash Converters serves several purposes. It can be a source of cash in exchange for something of value which you own. You can leave something of value with them, and borrow money on it. This is much the same as the old Pawn Brokers. You can get an advance on your next set of wages. This may be the only way some people can get a very small unsecured loan. You can go into Cash Converters and buy the pre-owned goods at prices that reflect their condition. You can find anything from jewellery, small electrical goods like ...  Read the complete review

I didnt know of this place for years until a friend of mine took me their to buy a guitar amp. It was a Marshall 50watt valve amp and was at a very good price! It opened up my eyes to the bargain he was getting and maybe I was missing out! Coincedently, the shop then moved more into the centre of town and was easier to get to, so I make quite regular visits. Being an audio and music freak, it was always the microphones, guitars, amplifiers, mixers etc I was checking out. Every so often I would just have a general browse too however. I thought how it must have been a one off that my mate got a bargain, because the prices didnt seem that great at ...  Read the complete review

A little saying of mine: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE,WAR AND RETAIL. I've been a regular customer of a couple of Cash Converters stores in Wolverhampton and Dudley, West Midlands and hopefully this review will provide some information and counter some of the slanderous and unfair statements made about them. Cash Converters started in 1984 as a small pawn shop in Perth, Australia and has now grown into the World's largest chain of second hand dealers with a presence in most main cities in the Western world. The UK has about 90 stores and is expanding all the time. They deal in Second Hand stock mostly although they sometimes offer New ...  Read the complete review
