Hodag Guns & Loan, Rhinelander, WI

This is a pawn shop so I'm aware that their whole process is to buy for a little and sell for alot. But they do it so shamelessly. They literally prey on people's desperate situations and use that to make money. I went in with several laptops, and I looked up the resale value before I went in. Note I didn't sell the laptops to them, I did get prices though. One they offered me $100 for, the resale on that was close to $400. I told the person I dealt with that I knew how this would work, they'd buy it from me for $100 and have it on their shelf the next day for $400. People are going to do what they need to when they're desperate, and I don't fault them for that. But places like this, they exploit people's hardships and take advantage of their difficult situation. They rip the people off and they do it with a smile. I know none of this really matters to most of the world today, but I can't understand how any human being can be comfortable screwing people over at all, much less in their hard times. In this world of apathy, self serving attitudes, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Perfect store if your looking for overpriced junk..!! Looks like they stock their shelves with what goodwill didn't take. Dont let the large amount of firearms on the wall fool you alot of those are overpriced junk as well. These jokers are not above selling broken and inoperable firearms..!! I suppose it's fitting tho, trash merchandise from a trash store in a trash town. What a joke..!!!

These guys are awesome! Husband and I stopped in and they actually had a firearm in stock that my husband has been looking for the last few years. Funny and laid back staff, easy process. I know we will definitely be back!

You can find tons of interesting items among the clutter. I like places like this. Lots of everything inside the store and out in their open pole building. Good variety of guns and accessories. I stop in to see what's "new" every time I'm in the area.

I liked my experience with these guys. I've been there 3 times now, bought and sold each time. I haven't been able to sell things to them that they specialize in, so I understand there decently low price they buy from me for, but I've bought 2 gaming councels from them for low prices now and both work great. I'd give 5 stars, but they are due for there staff to go through and reorganize there whole store. That would be an improvement for them and customers both. Thanks guys for being such a great convince for me!

We come here often and have purchased several firearms. Used to be our favorite place to frequent to see what they had in and to chat with the staff if they weren’t busy. Past 3-4 times we have gone, nobody has spoken to us or asked if we needed help or wanted to see something. My husband even tried to get someone’s attention so he could look at a rifle yesterday. We had fully intended to purchase a new rifle or two our past few visits, but since nobody wanted to acknowledge that we were there, we left empty handed. We will likely not be in again and will give our business to L&M or Ciminos.

Been dealing with these guys for many years. Never had a problem.
