With $2000 borrowed from his grandmother, Gary Potter opened Dicker and Deal, Inc. for business on June 12, 1973. Mr. Potter rented a small space in the building of 1701 S. Cedar St in Lansing. Originally, the entire business was confined to what now is our Audio Department. The rest of the building was leased to various small businesses. The Staff consisted of Gary, and three employees. Over the years he took ownership over the entire building, added five related locations, and now employ over sixty employees.
Dicker and Deal’s goal is to provide our customers with quality pre-owned merchandise at prices far below retail, and to create an atmosphere that invites all people to shop here, even those who would not ordinarily consider buying second hand.

Pawn broking is the oldest method of lending money; it dates back to early China 3,000 years ago. Pawnshops served as primary lenders to their communities and provided financial bases for some of the more important historical events of their times. According to the National Pawnbrokers Association, even Queen Isabella of Spain pawned her royal jewels to finance Christopher Columbus’ expedition to the New World.
The pawn industry came to America with the first settlers in the early parts of the 18th century. Pawn broking was regarded as the main source of consumer credit. With the rise of large consumer credit institutions, such as finance corporations, savings and loan associations, and credit unions, the pawn shop is no longer the main source of consumer credit but it plays a vital role in it.
Pawnbrokers loan money to people based on the value of the items they pledge as collateral. In recent years many pawnshops became an easy way to get rid of unwanted goods. Dicker & Deal is not a pawn store but is a second hand store that offers “pawn-like” services, and offers many services previously not offered by the industry. Merchandise loans, check cashing, bill pay, purchases of unneeded items, and ability to exchange items through the recycling program are some of the services offered.
The general public needs to borrow small sums of money that other financial sources are not willing to provide. What chance do you think you would have in securing a $300.00 or smaller loan from a financial institution for any period? The cost of the paper work alone prohibits them from making such loans on a regular basis. Dicker & Deal offers short term collateral loans ranging from five to fifty thousand dollars.
All items obtained by Dicker & Deal are processed through an Internet-based crime-fighting tool called Business Watch International, where information on all loaned or sold items is shared with police departments nationwide. All items are held for 14 days before cleared by local authorities, and then put for sale. Each customer is required to present a valid government issued I.D. and be fingerprinted at the time of business.
Regardless of what you see on TV or in the movies second hand stores and pawnshops are the worst place to get rid of stolen merchandise. We train our associates to be on the lookout for any stolen items.
