Pawn King, Jacksonville, IL

This place is awesome and has been a treasure for me. Erica is great to deal with. She knows her stuff and is always smiling. I find my self coming back here every week because there is always something new to buy.

Well first off I went into the pawn shop which I frequent all the time. I buy things on layaway all the time. Usually bigger items that are around $250. I go into the pawn shop to pawn and sell some items. I had a Ryobi 1/4 drive impact and a circular saw matching and a chroded Ryobi saw that was like new along with 3 batteries and a charger for the Ryobi stuff. This guy insults me by offering me $25 for the whole bag of tools. I laughed at him and asked for Josh because usually he treats me right. He wasn't there. So I also brought in a Strother compound bow...(which they don't make anymore) with a brand new string on it new kisser button and fully dressed bow with sight and arrow rest.... everything. Even had a soft case with it and 4 blood Hunter arrows. This Shylock offered me $50 for my bow. I laughed at him and I noticed some gentleman looking at Ryobi tools. So I sold them my tools for what I was asking....$60. which was fair. Needless to say I doubt I will be doing anymore business with them in the future. Oh yeah! They forgot to give me back my ID so I'll have to go back for that because the guy who helped me was so unprofessional he didn't even give me my ID card back. PS.....he said he wasn't buying tools so that was the pawn price. What kind of pawn shop isn't buying tools when there are people looking at tools? Makes no sense. $50 for a $450 bow. Yeah....they got the Jew Shylock racket down at this pawn shop.

They are friendly and nice but it would be better if they loan anything you bring in and they do not always take Silver cause I brought a Silver Necklace in and he would not take it so don't be fooled they do not buy everything including Silver you. You should be able to get a loan on what you bring in. Now if your selling it that's different if they don't want it but I needed money so I just wanted a loan that is all. Thank you Sherry

Always friendly and knowledgeable in their business dealings. Good people own and run this establishment, atypical to many other pawn shops I've been to. I enjoy giving these folks my business.

Wonderful people to work with, very helpful. Josh was extremely helpful with my order and purchase. They went above and beyond what was expected of them. My order was mailed promptly and I received it quickly. I can't say enough good things about the professional manner in which I was treated. Keep up the GREAT work. I will be purchasing different items from this business in the future. Great work guys. Frank from Alabama.

I attempted to sell a brand new oculus and a gold necklace here. The lady who helped us, who didn’t wear a name tag, had reddish brown hair, glasses, tattoo on the back of her neck. While the other lady, Tiffany, was very kind and tried to help us and figure out how it works, the lady who was originally helping us was very rude, unprofessional, and straight up mean. Not only did she try to tell us there was no way of telling if it worked (when it was lighting up as we were speaking and I attempted to explain how it works) but also said they wouldn’t know how to use it and wouldn’t give us much for it. After this, the lady was talking about how she didn’t understand the brand or manufacturer of the necklace we brought in, and continued to act like it was a problem, saying “I guess…”, “I don’t know…” instead of trying to figure it out. While we did end up selling the necklace to the shop, our experience was unpleasant and I do not think we will be coming back.

Unfortunately, this shop has went down hill with the new employees. This was much better when Joshua was manager. Employees there have been incredibly rude, and callous. Will be letting people know to try the new place in town and to avoid here.
