Bargain Pawn

I recently moved to Southern California from up north. my past experiences with pawn shops were they were complete ripoffs as a buyer and a seller. Items are overpriced, and they pay you fractions of a fair offer. This place has restored my belief in the Pawn Shop system.
I buy/​resell for a living so I was surprised to find good deals in this shop. I also overheard them buy some Tools for more than I would have paid. They are extremely fair. they look up prices to see the value of your item and give you a more than fair deal. They also helped me sort through a bunch of costume jewelry free of charge.
Realistically this is the way a pawn shop should be ran. nothing but good things to say about this place!

Never met such a nice group of people. Paul the security person was so helpful in loading the car. Ask for Dawn when you go in she is all knowing and gives awesome deals. The more you buy the better the deal.
Now Chris is a bit tough. But I got him to smile too.

Scott the owner went the extra mile to help me out. Nice clean store with good people and fair prices

Probably one of the smoothest, easiest experiences I’ve had a pawn shop. Walked in looking for a used vacuum and a friendly man behind the counter (I believe to be the owner) gladly pointed me in the direction & told me to take my pick out of a selection of vacuums which was a stellar price! Granted the vacuum only worked once but honestly what do I expect from a USED vacuum lol Either way, I saw another reviewer say she paid an ATM card transaction fee but I paid NOTHING and neither did the person before me? All in all, I was in & out in less than 5 minutes. Will definitely be coming back for any other «needs» :)

Just adding that the owner sent me a message claiming I was confused and must be thinking of a different shop. He said this was either spam or purposeful slander and asked me to remove this review.
My review is accurate to the time I was there. Also be sure to see the Jon recommended reviews below.

I would call this place as a rip off location. They would pay you ¹⁄₁₂ what your stuff worth and resale them for 80% of retail price. If you don’t need cash that badly, sell on eBay or yourself. They are sucks anyways. It’s like a joke. You might just give your extra stuff to good will then put in your next years tax return for some money back. Don’t come here if you sale your stuff!!!

Had a wonderful experience at this pawn shop! Came in to browse their diamond ring selection. After finding my perfect ring PLUS another stone ring Im now CRAZY about, they were awesome enough to give me a discount for paying cash on both. The staff was very informative, friendly and handled their busy shop alongside my transaction smoothly. Will DEFINITELY be back!

Having never been to a pawn shop before, I must say that this shop and its owners and employees are quite different than what most of us think of when we think of visiting a pawn shop. I went there on the recommendation of my son who suggested this for the purchase of game systems & electronics for a sons friend. The people there were friendly, honest and helpful and frankly they provided excellent customer service. I left with the game system as well as several purchases of my own. A great experience, don’t be afraid of this pawn shop, it is not stereotypical at all!

Stopped by today. I was looking for a Camcorder and a laptop. Was helped by one the employees Chris. Very nice, professional, and answered a lot of my question. I did not end up buying anything because I need to do more research to make sure what I buy fits my needs but if I do end up buying I will try to do it from them. Great customer service.

This is a great pawn shop. The owner is a really nice guy very willing to work with you, and the rest of the employees are very nice. They always give me a great price when i come to sell stuff. They have a wide variety of items there from jewelry to tvs to furniture. I highly recommend this shop.

I don’t even have words to explain how horrible my experience was. hopefully my experience, will keep you from making the mistake I made of, doing business with this sorry excuse for a business. first of all they have no way to get ahold of them. this is on purpose I’m sure. the phone number they do give, you, is a recording with their hours and saying not to leave a message they don’t check them. they leave a email address which I sent two emails they never got them. and I double checked the email address so, it was correct. I’m in the military sent to sd for a month do by the time I get back to this, side of town they are closed. I’d been trying to get ahold of then because I was going to be a day late getting my items that I had used as a Lohan. so I, come in today a Saturday and they pawned it all. the person I had talked to when I had profanely pawned it told me the 10^th and they gold it for a few extra, days. the, owner tells me they got rid, of it Thursday so 2 days before the deadline the already get rid, of it. what kind of business is that! and the owner was very rude. telling at me just saying horrible things. he’s the owner shouldn’t you be nicer to your customers! and now threw promise ring my fiancé Gabe me when we were dating it’s gone. I was going top turn it into a necklace and if we ever had a daughter give it to her. I will never see that ring again and it makes me sick. I was desperate I really needed money and I’m out here by myself so I had nobody to turn to. don’t be a victim of this business. and I can’t get over how just hateful the owner was to me. I will never ever ever go back. I hope I, have saved someone the grief I’ve gone through. if you have to go to a pawn shop don’t go to this one.

This place is a pretty big pawn shop. I’ve been going here for years and I always pick up something really cool when I’m there.
A few years ago, I bought an array of different instruments from there: and accordion, and acoustic Bass, and a Flute. Even right now, there is a French auto-​harp that I am interested in purchasing.
They have a DVD section that is only $ 3 each, and I’ve picked up some pretty animé and Japanese titles throughout the years there.
My last two purchases there were a $ 20 dollar Rice-​cooker (which works great), and a $ 400 laptop which I am very happy with.
The staff and management there is also really friendly and awesome!
