Arcus Brothers Pet Shop

First of all this store is Insipid, they sell literal garbage. When you first walk in the door the guy behind the counter is starts asking you all sorts of unctuous questions. For example "what do you have?", "Let me see it.", and "Come here and let me see it, before you look around." Then he takes whatever you have and touches it all over, without even pausing to ask permission. I personally didn't want his hands all over my flute that I am trying to sell, silver tarnishes due to skin oil and now I have to polish it AGAIN. I also had some gold and he offered me half of what I knew I could get for it, I later got a quote on it that was 3 times his suggested price. Also he is extremely rude when you ask what he would pay for something. He will not quote a price... I wanted to know what he would pay for it as if the price is not right I will not sell. When prompted with the question, all he says is what do you want, and if you don't know or if he doesn't like your answer he will not give a reply. When I said how much I wanted for the flute he said "Not gonna happen" and then again "what do you want for it." Its almost as if he is attacking you. That being said I purchased the Yamaha flute for twice as much as I asked for it, and it was used then in a 9+ condition and it is still that condition. This man is obtuse, and I will never go here again.

Not only is the man behind the counter insufferable, he carries many distasteful things. I would advise that you do not bring children into this shop. Right next to the video games is a sign reading "ask about adult films and toys", that is disgusting. Also if you walk up to the glass cabinets the first thing you see are scales and calibration weights, the kind that drug dealers use. Right next to that you can conveniently find "jewelry bags"...... Clearly for the distribution of illicit substances.

Also he pushed me to give him my phone number for the flute when I clearly was uncomfortable. RUDE.
