Mr Pawn Lake St, Forest Lake

This shop is great, I don't normally post reviews but after my experience on Saturday I have to, I deal with alot of social anxiety and don't go out very often, the employee and one of the owners were very nice and funny, the employee even spent over half an hour to find some harder to find proprietary plugs I needed for my amp. Most shops wouldn't go through the trouble to dig through a bin of parts for something that costs less than 5$. They did so with no hesitation... awesome customer service and will definitely be bookmarking this shop as a must visit every time I'm in this area.

Out with my youngster looking for hidden treasures, stumbled across Mr Pawn. My boy love pawn shops and this was no exception. Really eclectic store with huge variety & they are willing to deal. The two Owners were working and I have to say how impressed I was by both of them! They were extremely friendly, they were very professional & knowledgable, and above all they spent a lot of time indulging my son’s interests & questions! We will be back😁

I recommend you avoid purchases with this pawn shop. I'm disappoint and feel deceived. On October 02, 2019, ten minutes before Mr. Pawn closed, I found an ad posted by Mr. Pawn on Craigslist for a Yamaha A-S1100. The price was AMAZING (half of the retail price listed on Yamaha's website). Over the phone, the owner and I worked a deal, and he asked his crew of two to stay a little late, so I could buy the Integrated amplifier that evening. I bought the amp. I was told I had thirty days to return it if I was not happy. This, of course, made me feel good about the deal, because I did not know if this amplifier would work well with my speakers, and room acoustics. I was reassured about 3 - 4 times before leaving that I could get a refund, if I returned within 30 days. Today, the writing of this review, is 15 days. I tried real hard to love the Yammie, but the vocals seem shallow and distant compared to my other equipment. I decided I did not enjoy the sound as I did with my other equipment. Today, 15 days later, I called the shop and the phone was given to the owner. The owner literally stuttered through his refusal to refund me the money, yet he said he was willing to give me a store credit, or he would take the amplifier back and, when it sold, he would give me the money. I wanted my money. I politely, and it was difficult being polite, declined his offer, and told him I would sell the amplifier on my own. I no longer trusted him, nor did I trust Mr. Pawn. See the deception? I will NEVER buy anything from this pawn shop, nor will I ever shop at another Mr. Pawn. Every negative prejudice I have heard was confirmed by this pawn shop. I highly recommend if you plan to do business with this pawn shop, do so cautiously, or not at all. Thank you for reading.

I have been doing business with Roy for almost 20 years. Roy has always been excellent to deal with and have gotten some really good deals over the years. ! I have always had good luck with the things I have bought and it sure is nice saving money to boot !

Hi! My name is Steve Peterson I own All Seasons Peterson Snow And Lawn Service LLC I currently snowplow for Roy. I use all my money I make from plowing to purchase things right back from him. He is a stand up guy and I would recommend him as a pawn broker to anyone I know. His prices are very fair and he stands by his merchandise. If there is ever a problem during the period of warranty he fixes the problem right away. This is the kind of guy that would give the shirt off his back to someone just to help them out. If you are looking for a place to either pawn your personal items, sell your items or buy something this is the place to look FIRST not last. Hope this helps you soon to be customers of MR PAWN!!!!!!!

I love this shop. The guys that run it are great. They are fair with their prices. Unlike the huge corporate style pawn shops I am an avid rock collector and they have a HUGE collection! They have so many more things! Anything under the sun! They for those that are complaining about the shop obviously don't understand the concept of pawn shops. Especially if you are pawning an item! Check out Forest Lake pawn, I bet you will find what you are looking for!

don't pawn or buy from this place they rip you off pay low and sell high no fair deals here! You will get better quality stuff else were and make more pawning at other places. I bought something there for 300 and they wouldn't even buy it back for 50 said its not even worth buying after they had sold it to me in the first place! If I could give minus stars I would!

Bought a snowmobile from Roy and had a great experience. The choke control was broken and he had already ordered a replacement and said he would mail it to me when it came in. He texted me a few days later and said it had arrived and he was forwarding it to me. Good service and fair price.

Overall a great experience. I was able to get a fair price for the items I was selling and the staff at the shop were knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to my friends. Overall 5/5 stars.

These guys are very fair, give you the best prices you can get for your goods. we checked them out and the manager was very helpfull. if your looking for a pawn shop near forest lake, this the place to go.
