  Prejudice af. Be cautious. I traded in my old 3DS for a quick loan and they lowballed me but I didn't care as I was planning on paying the loan back in less than a day anyway (overspent that weekend and forgot to pay phone bill) . When I came back they made a scene and told me they'd call the cops. I calmly told them to go on ahead and they didn't and I had to call them myself to get my items back. Turns out they thought I was a different person of color who tried to sell fenced goods there earlier and apologized. Screw them, they upmark nearly everything anyway. Only good for loans, get your stuff on eBay instead.

  They tried to charge me twice what a brand new bass guitar was worth. And when I showed them and explain to them that it’s not worth that much they just ignored me and wouldn’t let me try it to see if it still worked correctly. but I don’t i’ve heard good things maybe I was just on an off day.

  These guys are top notch. My bass was stolen out of my truck and ended up at their shop, where they confronted the thieves, confiscated it and went through every avenue they could to get it back to me. I couldn't believe they would go through such trouble for a stranger. Just from talking to them you can tell they truly care about their community, and I can't thank them enough. The shop itself is killer too! Tons of music gear, tools, jewelry, you name it. I'll definitely be back soon hopefully under better circumstances. Stop in!

  We were shopping around for musical equipment and the prices were pretty reasonable, they ended up cutting us a deal on a beautiful, as-is Danelectro 59 bass. I’ll definitely be back to pick up an amp, they have an incredible selection of vintage amplifiers.

  Recently went into try and make a deal on a guitar they had in their window. I do lots of buy/sell/trading in the guitar market and knowing pawnshops I brought two guitars to sell/trade in. Staff wasn't terrible kind of the normal pawn shop protocol they look it up on ebay and offer what the lowest auction price is. Was given a pretty low ball price on an vintage Gibson and I dread to see what they'll try and charge for it. More interestingly the other guitars I brought in more mid level but still better than 80% of the guitars in the store he didn't even take a second look at. Ended up making a cash deal cuz the guitar they had was a dream guitar of mine but I wouldn't recommend going in to sell/trade musical gear unless ya expect bottom dollar. Still more than happy with the guitar I bought plays like a dream and I got an okay deal at the end of the day.

  Great stuff, good jewelry, can find some decent guitars and gear. Also, My car got broken into and a bass stolen. They took a description of the bass and serial # just in case anyone tries to sell it to them.

  Typical low end pawn shop. Not terrible if you're just buying something. But just about everything in there is listed WAY too high. I took my Gibson Les Paul guitar there on loan (a $900 guitar), their "guitar expert" said he could only lend me $150 for it because he sells them for $300. I literally turned around and saw a beat up Les Paul on the wall for $600. Its not their fault they're scumbags though, its the nature of the business. I've only been in one or two fair pawn shop in my life. This is not one. I'm pretty sure he wanted me to lose the guitar because he said I had 6 months to pay the loan, but when I looked at the paper work it said 3 months then they sell it.
