The King's Pawn Reviews

I’m in awe with place! I still CANNOT believe it! If I could give them a million star review I would! I had a 2001 Mid Set 2001 Lady Rolex that I wanted to to sell since it was only collecting dust on my nightstand. And got such a great offer that I was dumbfounded with what a great deal I was getting. Also had a 18K ring that I sold here and got ANOTHER great price!! This is the place to sell your gold, Watches, and more! Jose and Paul are such great people to deal with. They are 100% honest, trustworthy, and professional!

This place is smaller than it looks and less well stocked than you might imagine if you're just looking at the outside. There are, however, a lot of parking spots behind and next to the building. Inside it's the all too typical low ceiling, bad lighting and inartfully stuff piled all over that most pawn shops are. Add to that, if you're selling something, pretty much the same fumbling with and mumbling about whatever it is isn't what it seems to be nor worth what you thought. This is a tired game and it's on TV and on display at King Pawn in a big way. The guise is, careful purchasing but one look around the shop and through the display cases and you'll see that's not the case. It's just part of the game to get you to take whatever terrible offer they make. Also, enjoy the damage they will do, and they will, to whatever it is you bring while they "evaluate" it. They won't ask. They'll just do it and shrug. Well, you weren't taking that thing to another store now, were you? In other words, they claim to be friendly and they are, but they're also not that good at what they do and they'll lowball you all day long. Sure, you think you're smarter but you came to King Pawn so how smart are you? Smart enough to walk out before buying or selling anything? For your sake, I hope so. The best way to beat this pawn shop is not to ever go inside.
Mr. Frost, thank you for taking the time to review us. We are sorry you had less then a 5 star experience, being in business for over 25 years it's obvious we take customer service seriously. If you would like to contact us with your date and time of your transaction we would love to review the footage of it to help us learn what we could do better and also address the damage you believe was done to your item. I am not sure why you feel our 9.5 ft ceilings are low or how there is poor lighting with our 8- 6x4ft windows, 4- 5x3ft windows, a glass door, 56 light fixtures including track lighting, case lights and 20 more light bubs in ceiling lights? But again, thank you for your input, there is always room for improvement.

Picked up a bass guitar here last week - I had visited a half dozen pawn shops and the service here was the best. Staff were helpful but not pushy, instruments were fairly priced, atmosphere was relaxed. Great store!

My Experience with Kings Pawn is always a Professional one. Everyone at this Company are Friendly and Courteous which makes my visit a happy one. I have been doing business with Kings Pawn for a few years and the Employees are wonderful on a daily basis, and that's my experience. I would gladly recommend Kings Pawn to my family and friends.
Thank you Maureen, we appreciate you as a long time customer of ours :)

I went in to King's Pawn today and it was my first time in a pawn shop! I don't really know what I expected but what I was greeted with was a bustling shop with friendly faces, an engaging staff, and a variety of items that were priced well. They also seem to have a ton of deals going on this holiday season (not sure how it is the rest of the year) and I'm really contemplating going back in the next few days to get some items 35% off and potentially win some prizes! Highly recommend King's Pawn for customer service, variety of goods, great deals, and some interesting items.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this awesome review Daniel! it's great to know you had a good experience here especially being your first time in. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

First class all the way! I needed a loan and brought in 3 higher end guitars. They gave me top notch dollar for all 3 of them so I could obtain a loan. Leaving my guitars in strangers hands makes me extremely nervous, but the staff was so kind and gave me reassurance. 2 and half months later, I went to pick them up and they were in perfect condition. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to work for you. I've done a loan with them twice now and they have been nothing but supportive and friendly. This is the only pawn shop I trust. Thanks King's Pawn. You are top notch.
Thank you for this review Todd. We are happy to help you out when needed and we are glad you feel comfortable leaving your items with us. We are always here for you in the future!

I had never been to a Pawn shop before, I called ahead of time to see if they were interested in a Guitar and other items. Ross was super personable over the phone, very kind and engaging when I got there and explained how it all works. I was really happy to have some extra cash for my sons medical bills by getting rid of material items laying around the house. I have a totally different perception of Pawn Shops now - this is a good one! Hoping to go back and get to shop next time! Thanks Ross!
Thank you for this awesome review Lorin. It is great to know that we were able to help you and your family out in a time of need! We try our best to be The Friendly Pawn Shop. Ross also says it was great being able to work with you. Thanks again, Don't be a stranger now.

Had a great experience at King's pawn. They had the best customer service of any pawn shop I've used. They were polite and attentive and they gave me a great price for my silverware and coins. I will be using them again in the future and would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
What an awesome review Brendan! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us one. You are truly appreciated. :)

Favorite pawn shop but also establishment in all of San Diego/north county. Everyone who works there has excellent customer service,greets you with a smile,straight up every time,and not only more than fair but also treat you like family an not just a quick customer. All of guys are awesome period., so for anyone looking for that special piece of jewelry,tool,game,electronic,etc or to get a fair honest loan or just to sale something... Kings should be your 1st stop every time. 5/3/21 Still loving the people here at Kings, you guys are awesome and will always be my 1st choice.
Ms. Godwin - this review means a lot to everyone working here. We are always happy to help you out when in need! And yes, you are definitely a member of this pawn family.

I love kings pawn, the staff is amazing. They always have something unique of your liking in there. Would highly recommend to ANYONE and EVERYONE.
Hi Prudence, we appreciate your very kind words. We're glad to hear you found some unique items. We hope to see you soon. Take care friend.

I had a stash of gold jewelry that I never wore and wanted to sell, and a friend of mine recommended taking it all to King's Pawn because they buy gold. I was so impressed with their level of customer service! They were so friendly and helpful, and there were even a few customers that came in who the employees knew by name. They also have an amazing selection of jewelry for sale! The jewelry they have is much more unique than what you find at big jewelry retail shops, and at a fraction of the price. Since I got such a great deal on the gold, I also bought myself the most beautiful vintage fire opal ring. Every time I wear it I get a compliment. I will definitely be going back whenever I feel like spoiling myself.
Thank you! We are glad we could help. We are so glad that opal ring found a good home! :) see you soon.

I've been dealing with Kings for a couple years now and every encounter has been great. This establishment is unbeatable and everyone at Kings not only are experts in their field but also give a quality service and attentiveness going out of their way to work with you. Which shows that they value you not only as a customer but also their ability to help someone. I recommend Kings pawn to everyone.
Thank you Tink! We appreciate you and your business. Hope to see you soon :)

These are my go to guys whenever I want to buy jewelry or even sell or pawn. Love their customer service and the environment they create at the shop. Real cool dudes. They understand the importance of not only providing service but how to keep them coming back. These rock n roll dudes are highly recommended by me.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Anthony, you also rock!

I had never been to a pawn shop before and I always thought it was like what you see in a movies, people trying to scam you or taking you for a schmuck like at a car dealership. It was completely the opposite of that. I brought in my jewelry and Paula, Ross, Pablo, and the owner Heidi gave me the best customer service I had ever received. They made me feel so at home and kept true to their motto, "The Friendly Pawn Shop". Thank you guys for helping me with such big smiles in my time of need.
Thanks for the great 5 Star Review!

Great experience, great hospitality, and great customer service. I always choose Kings Pawn because there the best. Always looking to help you with any items you have for loan or sell. No reason to go anywhere else, this is your one stop shop. The Crew there is knowledgeable and experienced.
Wow, thank you so much for the five star review. It’s always a please to serve you. :)

I had some old jewelry that I no longer wear and broken gold chains to sell. I shopped a few different pawnshops in the area and Kings Pawn offered me the most money. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
Philene! it was great meeting you. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. It means a lot to the whole crew here. We are also happy you enjoyed our prices!!!

The staff are so up beat and honest., gave me a honest evaluation & price on jewelry for a loan. Sent letter as a reminder of the due date and followed up with a call to avaoid default on the loan. They answered all my questions and gave suggestions to help determine the best pay off on the loan. Thank you so much for helping me in the time of need.
We are more than happy to have helped you Rosalie and look forward to helping you in the future when you need our service. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review.

Great friendly and helpful service. Scored a sweet deal on silver, would come back for more if I lived nearby. Looks like they have a lot of power tools if you're into that.
Hello Joseph, We thank you so much for your kind review. We appreciate your business and you’re always welcomed back into our shop amytme you’d like. We hope you keep finding those sweet deals on sliver coins. Take care friend.

I should have known better.... All pawn shops are the same, especially if your selling something. If you plan to sell just be ready to be low balled to the fullest extent. I'm talking less than 25% of whatever the neighboring retail stores are selling the same identical item for. Even if your item is still fully sealed & brand new they will tell you it's a "used" item as soon as it leaves whatever store you purchased it from even if you never even opened it. It's super disrespectful & straight up predatory how they treat people who are obviously not in the best of situations financially for whatever reason. Ripping people off who clearly are hurting for some money is a super messed up business. So 25 years of this place purposely paying a fraction of any given items worth only to turn around and sell it for double or even triple of what they paid. I do understand that often times any item will sit on the shelves for any period of time so that should be accounted for whenever buying something from someone but not to the extreme extent that this pawn shop does every single time. For gods sake is it that hard to be somewhat fair....my word. Quit being so greedy and preying on the people who don't have many other options and maybe try to be reasonable. You would probably be surprised at how many people would bring you their business if they felt they were being respected.

King's pawn is a great pawn shop I've been to a few before and they were pretty good but this place is by far the best they have a great selection of things very fair prices and the employees there are excellent I would highly recommend this pawn shop

Everyone who works there is awesome. They’re all very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Pawn shops can be an unpleasant experience but you kinda don’t notice as much when the folks you’re interacting with are good human beings. Thanks, you guys. See you soon for my Baby, and probably a pair of my RayBan glasses.
Awesome! We appreciate you and thank you for the great review :)

I love to buy vintage jewelry from yard sales and thrift stores, and sometimes I discover that I have something "real" that I don't necessarily want to keep. When I've gone to King's Pawn, they've been very nice about testing my jewelry, explaining the results, and then buying pieces from me. So far it's been really great dealing with them.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us this review Heather! Good luck on your next hunt.

I have had two great experiences with King's Pawn. Their staff is friendly and accommodating. I think the guy that helped me was named Jose?? I forget but I do remember the great service. He even helped me out by adding an extra $5 to my sale which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be going here for all my pawn needs!
Jose is the man! He was very happy to hear his name mentioned in this review. We are more than thrilled to know how happy you were with the service that you received here at King's. We thank you.

Thank you for your review, Teresa! We appreciate you and your time so much.

Love these guys! They are awesome. Super friendly and and so helpful in a time of need. They make you feel like their friend or family with no judgement. Ross helped me out both times using their services and is the reason I returned. The other employees are great and friendly as well! Awesome place to check out and their store has a nice selection of items common and unique enough for everybody. Check them out! Will be back!
Thanks for this review Danielle. We truly appreciate your business. Ross was happy to hear about this review. We look forward to seeing you in the future!

Always great customer service, prices, and selection. For more than 20 years I have pawned, bought jewelry, sold jewelry, and gotten loans for great prices and rates at Kings Pawn. If you are in North County do yourself a favor and give them a try at your business. You will be glad you did.
Thanks Randy, its always a pleasure working with you.

I’ve been coming here since I’ve moved to California and all of the people here are very professional and friendly; willing to work with you on prices and does such in a timely manner! They wanted to meet my dog so they allowed me to bring her in. Overall, my experience at King’s Pawn has been nothing less than excellent each time I visit. I recommend this Pawn Shop to anyone who is looking to pawn or receive a loan for any of their valuables. JaQuez A.

Never been to a pawn shop before except in another city and it was exactly what I thought a pawn shop would be like. I went into King's Pawn Shop yesterday. What a difference! Ross helped me and he was very knowledgeable. If I ever find myself in need of a pawn shop again, I would go back to King's Pawn, no doubt.
Thank you fro this review Cindy. We try everything we can to dispel any negative preconception of what most people think of a pawn shop to be. We strive to be the friendly pawn shop here. Ross was thrilled to get the head nod as well. We look forward to seeing you in the future if needed!
