Loan Star Pawn - Port Charlotte Tamiami Trl, Port Charlotte

Tried selling my AR but they thought I was born yesterday only offering $200 for it. I paid well good amount for it never been fired. There site they use gunbroker said $450 but that was a lie it goes for $687-750 on that site. Nice people but rip off.

Awesome friendly staff makes you feel welcome to be there will do plenty more business with them they deserve a 10 star rating

I contacted Loan Star Pawn (LSP) for an online order from Locked & Loaded (L&L) as they were listed as an approved FFL, but then L&L emailed that they needed LSP's updated FFL info. I contacted LSP and they said they would send it to L&L, but didn't. I contacted LSP again. This time they sent it, but everything was expired. L&L tried contacting LSP multiple times to get their updated license info with no luck. Here we are 23 days later and I'm starting over with another FFL. I will not give any future business to this company and I requested that L&L remove LSP from their FFL list due to my issues and L&L's issues getting the info from LSP.

Ive always had a stigma about shopping at pawn shops but after stopping by loan star pawn shop, my option has drastically changed. Their vibrant employee david, showed me around and informed me of all the amazing deals they offered. I had an amazing experience and with all the cool items they offer i know I will for sure be returning!

I was very impressed with my experience. Amy assisted me and went above and beyond the standards you'll encounter anywhere else and her work partner Bianca was a delight as well. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Great prices, extremely classy atmosphere and high quality merchandise. I won't go to another. Keep up the great work!

Very nice people to deal with. I have always been treated fairly. Most of their prices are good, others, not so much. It's like that everywhere though.

David is a new hire as he was letting me know but man was he a total Professional! Great kid and hard work ethic, can’t wait to come back and be not only advised but treated super well. Admire the confidence in this young man.

With everything going on in the world it's easy to understand that sometimes you just need a little cash to float you until your next payday. Well that's exactly what the folks at Loan Star do. They are really willing to work with you and take their time to go over their policies and what you can expect. They even offer a mobile app in which you can pay on your items or even shop their wide selection of goods. You can find some really great things, from boat anchors to Star Trek figurines, jewelry to rifles. They have sales frequently and almost all of their electronics are current. They take their time with you and accept a wide variety of items that they will pay you cash for. I've had to use their service a few a times and I won't do business with anyone else. They're fair, consistent, and up front. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and take their time with you. If you're new to the process I highly recommend them. I've been doing business with them for at least 2 years, both purchasing and loans. For a pawn shop they offer reasonable rates and many times if you're purchasing items they will work with you on the price. They have several locations too. Falling on hard times happens to everyone at some point. It's great to know that there are people who can actually give you a little help once in a while. I'm grateful for the staff and urge you to give them a shot. They offer layaway or cash and carry and you never know what you'll run across in the store.

If I could have given 10 I would. Great customer service from Bianca, she was extremely knowledgeable, attentive and kept me laughing. Didn’t know that a pawnshop could be so inviting. Will definitely be back.

Love Loan star pawnshop in PC. Very friendly, knowledgeable, with Immaculate customer service skills. Thnk u Tammie, u are awesome.

We came in to see bianca at loan star pawns today and she blessed us tremendously by giving us a great offer for the tools we needed a loan on. If you are in a bind and need a quick loan, Check loan star pawn out!

Went in for a gun transfer walked out with that and a precision ar the gentleman was running a sale and offered a great deal on a complete set up. I've shot 500 rounds in the past two days. He was very helpful and answered all questions. Very happy with my experience!

Got an amazing deal from the Saturday trio , specially Jeremy. Each were eager to help me with all my questions. A lot to look at in this shop. Not a typical pawn store nd thats a good thing. Nice and clean, friendly service and I’ll definitely be back for some good gun deals

Great variety and super helpful and knowledgeable folks. Luke in particular goes above and beyond with his explanations and strives to be fair and helpful in an industry that sometimes isn't. Highly recommend seeing Luke at Loan Star Pawn!

Great customer service, helpful and professional. You’ll find what you’re looking for here.. great variety of quality items available. Thank you Luke for your assistance. I’ll be a returning customer!

I have visited this location on a few occasions and won’t go anywhere else! Everyone is super friendly and very helpful. A pleasure to do business with!

I would highly think twice before spending money here. Example. Black cruiser 4 sale, with dented rim and sun faded seat. Same exact bike BRAND NEW is $154 @ walmart. Get the heck outta here! Dont be a fool.

Great place and excellent prices. Worth stopping by when looking for something for a good price

Aaron at loanstar is real knowledgeable and professional he's damn good at his job and reasonable I highly recommend him

Great place. Always there to help. Best pawn shop around.

Called earlier in the day so i could plan when to leave work.. was told they were open til 6. Walked up to the door at 4:20. Open sign was still on. Door locked. Looked through the vinyl and saw 3 people standing inside. None of them acknowledged me. After 3 minutes of standing there, waiting for any sort of communication or acknowledgement, the open sign turned off. No communication at all. A simple "sorry, we are closing early for labor day," would have gone a long way. The 3 employees there today need some customer service training. If I had known they were closing early, I would have planned accordingly.

Amazing experience here! I came in looking for my very first gun with not much insight as to what I was looking for, but a very knowledgable and kind employee by the name of David found the perfect fit for me! He recommended a Glock 43x that they had just gotten in which happened to be the perfect size for me and just what I was looking for. I am currently saving up money and will be returning very soon to purchase!

Really nice people. Called beforehand with the product I had to sell. They did some quick research and told me to come in. Paid my asking price. Great gun selection and also have ammo! Recommend this shop to everyone in the area!

Really great place and awesome staff members who are really helpful and full of great energy. I needed help picking out my item and Luke Q went above and beyond. In times like these it's nice to have someone be kind and understanding. I will definitely be back, thanks to Luke and his courteous help.

***BUYERS BEWARE *** Surely Staff is very friendly and polite. HOWEVER, when it comes to appraising they either not experienced enough or lowballing on purpose. I randomly select businesses to visit to review their services. Was very disappointed with the offer they made on the gold and silver items I told them I wanted to sell and acted like I had no clue how much my items were worth. I had over 10 items and decided to start with what I knew was less expensive. After I was told that each of my gold items was between $10-50 when in fact I knew the true value of those items if sold as a scrap I decided to show them the 3 very expensive 18k rings each valued and appraised over $4,000 and each ring has apprx 1.8 ct certified diamonds in it. They offered $200 for each. Even if you remove diamonds and sell it as a scrap, still it would value over $700 for the total weight and today’s gold price for 18k gold. I highly recommend to take your gold and silver elsewhere and make sure to weigh your gold and know what is the gold value is not to let them fool you to give up your gold penny’s on the dollar.

(Great staff very helpful and best place to find items you want) is what I said before! I have to change my review for them after doing some research on the camera I bought they are a rip-off they will charge u full price for used items or even more then if you buy it new! DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!! Also they ask for 5 star reviews for a discount on purchase

Luke @ loanstar pawn is a fair, caring man who (unlike some in the exchange business) treats people like human beings and not dollar signs. He gives a fair price for goods. Great place to go when you need cash and like to be treated with dignity and respect.

Great staff and team. They did a great job helping my replace my daughters iPhone and were knowledgeable about the whole thing. Amazing selection of things in the store as well. Check it out!

These guys are absolutely the best! Tammy and everyone else there have gone out of their way to help us every time I've been in the store. My family has suffered one financial blow after the other and no matter what the situation they've always been there and helped us. I'm definitely not accustomed to finding that kind of compassion at a pawn shop. It's obvious that the employees genuinely care about their clientele and they're not trying to take your stuff. Loan Star has won my loyalty for life and I'll tell everyone that will listen. Thanks again guys. You've made a very difficult time in our life a little easier.

We got a PlayStation 4 on 5 minutes notice after going to other pawn stores, one sold us a PlayStation that didn’t work. then we came to loan star and got a functioning ps4 for a good price, also gonna be back for other stuff!

The employees that work here are very courtesy, and very helpful. The prices on their power tools, or any other tool you want to buy, are priced to move. Have purchased tools from them and you cannot beat the other prices. They will even deal with you if you're not happy with the price you see, just simply ask them and they will work with you. Always remember to when you bring something to pawn it has to be yours. You cannot Pawn items for somebody else. Nor will they take anything if you cannot prove it is yours. Just remember don't get upset with them if they won't pawn something for you if it is not yours, for that is the state laws. Stop by go on in. They have a lot of items to choose from. From televisions to a screwdriver. I gave him a five star, which I'll give them another five star. Just on the courtesy of the employees, that makes the store.

Luke is the man with the plan, very helpful and knowledgeable. Make sure you go and see Luke for any your pawn needs rather buying or selling. Great Job Sir. Will return.
