Orlando Frati Pawn Shop State St, Bangor

I have had several dealings with this particular shop over the years. It's never a good situation to begin with if I'm bringing something to pawn, because that means money is scarce. There are two gentlemen I've talked with there, and The man who is slightly older is a very helpful person to deal with. He never tries to offer a price on something that is insultingly low, and will do anything he can to help you and be fair. The other of the two gentlemen is a bit different. He doesn't bother to look up anything I bring to decide a price, and because of this I have gotten poor estimates on items I have brought. You can expect an offer of about one third of what your item is worth at any shop, but because of the lack of knowledge, or maybe just trying to make a buck, he has given offers on things that are ridiculous, even insulting sometimes. The guy is usually fairly rude, and I get the vibe that he doesn't want you there and almost resents doing business with you. I have had good and bad experiences here, so just be aware of which gentleman you deal with there. good luck everyone!!

I came into a unique situation where I wanted to pawn some items for atound a month so i called up Frati's he has been a long time business man and the first pawn shop i can ever remember growing up in Bangor in the 80's. I called and explained my situation the man treated and talked to me like i was a long time friend. Highly recommend this shop .

Went into the place looking to find out how much a firearm transfer would cost. Old man who runs the place didn't acknowledge me for 5 minutes and kept on gossiping with his old buddies. They don't do firearm transfers apparently and their wares were overpriced. Would not recommend.

Literally, the worst pawn shop. I had to walk up hill with my arms full of electronics for them to both give me a dirty look, and say everything I brough in was “too old.” I had a Xbox 360 slim, 4 games and a controller, 2 working laptops, an electric guitar. They did not look at anything or take anything out of the box. unprofessional atmosphere, and looked and smelled dirty. Employees are less than pleasant, I wouldn’t reccomend.

Great store great deals and the best part is the conversation! The owner lover photography and has some amazing personal photos that he showed me. Must see for sure. Looking forward to going back to shop again

Terrible experience! Save your time go to another Pawn shop. Poor service. Rude and disrespectful. Low bottom offers.

Very nice guy. Hope to do business with them again.

Interesting store. Nice place to go if you need equipment. Handtools and some guns. One thing I enjoyed was having a conversation with the owner. Learned quite a bit.

Great guys to do business with. Pawned, sold & bought here. Love it!
