Alvarado Pawn Shop

"Place smells like 1000 cigarettes. My first time pawning in years so I had some questions and the guy was very condescending! Gave a fair offer but because of his attitude & smell I passed. Taking my business elsewhere!"

"don't go to this place it is the worst"

"These guys are crooks, they stole my 4gig memory chip out my Sony Cybershot I pawned. I confronted the thief, the fat Cuban guy with glasses and he walked away and his boss "European man" came screaming "was it on the receipt?" like he already knew what I was there for... like a crook. They told me to come back next week? These guys literally burglarized my property, and I even tied it in a Sony bag so it wouldn't be tampered with. I filed a complain with the LAPD station across the street (thank god). These guys have cruddy Jewelery, extremely old appliances with severe damage, lousy items. Looks like a bad movie setting, not to mention when I was asking for my property they obviously stole, my memory chip, they were offering me a 1 gig chip for free? And I asked them, "if you say I'm lying about you stealing my chip... why you offering me a 1 gig worth less for free?" And one guy had his hand under the register insinuating he was grabbing his firearm like he was ready to shoot. These guys deserve the worst in life, not only thieves... but complete cowards who can't keep their composure when confronted by a legitimate man who threatened to sue them. Karma gentlemen.. avoid this burglary store. They probably do the same to Jewelery... thus their display case is empty, and lacking nice Jewelery. Look how they dress, and that tells you how these men carry themselves... like crooks."
