Bay Area Pawn

"I stopped in while visiting family. Lots of cool things! And both folks was super nice and a pleasure to chat with."

"I met Frank & Linda at a gun show 4 hours north of my home. By the time I got to their booth I had spent most of my cash but they had a great revolver I wanted at a fair price. They said they would take a small down payment and deliver the gun when paid off when they're in my area. They lived up to their promise and I hope to see them again at the next show. Thank you!"

"My dad had called and asked me to pick up a gun from here. They were great to talk with. They treated us really well and we're thankful for that. It's an older couple running the place and we had a good experience there. Lots of stuff"

"A few yrs ago tried to sell item purchased new for 600 , Still in perfectly good shape (genuine gold/gemstone) ... offered me 40, would not go up. Sold it on eBay for almost $200. Absolutely is just sitting there preying upon addicts and the desperate. Nothing of real value seen in the store while browsing... pure overpriced garbage."

"I stopped by looking at 30-30's. The owner said he had one I might be interested in buying, but it was in the back. It was a model from 1945, good condition. The price on the tag was $395.00. As I always do, I told him I'd be back this afternoon. I just wanted to think about it and not impulse buy. I should have bought it. In that time, he looked up comparable guns and raises the price to $750.00. That's right, a nearly 100% increase in price from what was on the original tag. I promptly declined the new price and left. Sure, his original price was low, but this will cost him more than the few hundred bucks he would have lost on the sale. I would have been happy to buy from him in the future, but not now. Lesson learned! If I can't trust you, I will not buy from you!"
