They work like a clock and really just get you in and out and it’s appreciated because nobody wants to wait in long lines! The largest and most diverse selection in New Mexico and just fair prices ! Thank you so much valley pawn

Waited quite sometime before my number to be called but once I got to the customer service desk Troy was Amazing! He had Excellent customer service skills.. He made me feel super comfortable and was very knowledgable and attentive. I would definitely recommended coming here to pawn/sell your items.
Thank you for your business! Sorry we had higher than usual wait times! We will be sure to let Troy know of your compliment!

This was my first time ever shopping at a pawn shop, and it was a great experience! I have been calling all over town to see if anyone had a good price on any pre-owned Kirby vacuums (I'm not paying $1,500+ for a new one) I called Vally Pawn and it seemed that they didn't have their phone set up to receive calls, so I messaged them on their Facebook page. I got a message back saying that they do have Kirby vacuums, and they even sent me pictures of the ones they had. I went into the store and checked them out and tested the one I liked. It worked great! It just needed a good cleaning, and some routine maintenance. Once I got done cleaning and maintenancing it, I tested it out on my dog fur covered carpet, and it works better than I could have imagined! It got all of the dog fur out of the carpet that my old vacuum was unable to get. I'm so very happy! I am so thankful for all the great people who helped me in the shop today, you all are wonderful!!!
Hey Corin! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. If you need anything at all, you know where to find us! We are so happy you had a fantastic first experience, and we hope you return soon.

Not trying to sound like most folks who loose their stuff after pawning, every time I came here and pawned jewelry I was always compensated fairly. However this last experience really revealed how shady the employees at this establishment are! I pawned a 47 gram 14 k gold watch twice, and the first time I brought it they assume it was 10k, THEIR EMPLOYEE (JEWELRY TECH) TESTED it and confirm it's 14k. I lost my job due to my boss retiring and could not pay for the 2nd loan so I asked if they could give me the value that their employee quote (1300). They took 15 minutes doing whatever and told me it's 10k, wouldn't run the test in front of me and offered me 500. Sounds fair but burnt me for 300 , probably so their employee can buy it. Stay away from here with anything worth value that you want to keep. Karma is a
Wired Douglas – Valley Pawn appreciates the uniqueness of this watch and the circumstances regarding the 10 k versus the 14 k. We assure you that we did not try to take advantage of you and no employee is attempting to buy the watch. We still have the watch and would love the opportunity to discuss if you would like to stop by. Thank you!

Hands down the pawn shop I have ever been to. They have a fantastic inventory at very reasonable prices. Everyone that works there is extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and good at what they do!! Christina is amazing, and deserves her own special shout out!! Every time my husband and I go to Valley Pawn, Christina goes out of her way to help us, and always ensures we have a positive experience!! I legitimately don’t have anything negative to say about Valley Pawn.
Thank you for the review! We will pass this along to Christina for you :)

I have been coming here for many years now and have bought lots of things. only once did i get a phone that was messed up. the guy warned us about it so we werent mad at all. i have bought 3 mics from here including amps and pre amps. always works and they always give you room to work with. best pawn shop no doubt. TOO bad they don't have firearms anymore. please get them back valley!!!!!!!!!!!

Drove all the way from Rio Rancho after work in rush hour, showed up at 6 on the dot and they wouldnt let me in to get my laptop out of pawn. Bad business practice. If you want good business let in those last minute customers Update to Owner: At 6:10?? Well here is a message I sent my roommate at 6:04 after I went and asked if I could get my laptop out. I pulled into the lot around 6:01.
Hi Manuel, Im sorry that you feel that you wasted a trip, I understand how far Rio Rancho is. However, I reviewed our camera system to ensure that such actions occurred and was able to see that although we closed our doors at 6 pm, we did continue to allow customers in and out as we usually do. I only saw one female and male approach after hours at 6:10 pm but our cash registers were already closed. Please ensure that we always allow customers into the store after hours as long as we have one register open. Im sorry for the inconvenience and welcome you to return to Valley Pawn.

Unbelievable. I took an item into the pawn shop to pawn. . I was stopped at the door and was told they were out of cash and couldn't get any. Really? A pawn shop without cash is like Kentucky fried chicken without chicken, or Arby's without roastbeef. Is this place really still in business. The name should be changed to used merchandise or something other than pawn shop. Do they not know what a pawn shop does.
Unfortunately, Mike, you stopped by at the exact time when we were having to manage our cash flow differently than we normally would, due to higher-than-expected volume of pawn customers. The effects of the pandemic on Valley Pawn business have not been completely positive and sadly that does impact our customers from time to time. We apologize for your experience and hope you will stop by again sometime so we can show that we are, in fact, a pawn shop, just like the sign says!

Valley Pawn goes above and beyond when taking care of their customers.If your buying jewelry Kim and Christina are very attentive. They go out of their way to research anything you need, they are AWESOME... 😎😎😎.... Thank you VP for doing an amazing job!
C
So glad this place had to shut down. Guess the lies, stealing, and the rest of their terrible practices caught up with them finally!
S
First time ever pawning an item. Easy quick and awesome costumer service!! I worked with Vincent and he explained how everything worked and my options too! The woman up front was so sweet too! Thank you for a wonderful experience👍
We are so glad you had an excellent experience, Sophia! See ya soon! :)
L
Thanks for helping me Mari with my pawn and thanks Kim in jewelry and the other girls forget her name but they know me (Lynde) and also Ari. You guys are the best. They give good prices and fair prices in pawn.
S
I love this place. The staff is very polite and professional. The store is clean and inviting. They have a wide variety of quality stuff at fair prices. And the most important thing to me is, I always feel safe shopping there. It is the only pawn shop I am willing to do business with. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much, Stephanie! We work hard to make sure our customers have the best pawn shop experience in the world. We'll see ya soon!
D
This is my go to pawn shop. They are always polite and courteous and help me out when I need it. Not a single visit has been bad. They give the highest amounts in town and their staff is superb. If I could give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend doing business with them.
Thank you so much for the great review! We are the #1 pawn shop in New Mexico because of awesome customers like you!
M
Love it. Never been taken care of like I have been at valley pawn. Dina helped me out tremendously today. So thank you Dina and the staff at valley pawn. Sincerely, Michael Zamora
C
Broke my laptop and told me I am just stuck with it that way now. I have done business with them almost weekly for years literally spent thousands and was treated like they had never seen me before. I also work on computers for a living and was told I probably broke it or dropped it in the parking lot. They used to be great honestly the best in town but apparently customer relationships mean nothing.
S
They are always very helpful and also very knowledgeable. I have always been treated fairly and with respect. I HIGHLY recommend Valley Pawn for not only borrowing money when there is no other choice but also for their extensive inventory of just about anything you might need from jewelry to tools and firearms. Great people to do business with!!!!
J
Good service and fair prices on items that I have purchased recently and in the past. I do think that I was underpaid on some really nice items that I sold to the shop. The value of items were high even according to there system but negotiations were low. I understand the business and with that comes morals. Overall valley pawn is a good shop, my history with them has been more beneficial for me and with only a few disagreements. 👍🏽
M
This pawn shop is amazing!!! They have wonderful customer service! I have brought my family to come visit them from out of town because they always treat me with respect and like a friend. We have purchased jewelry ,cameras , And they have done repairs on my jewelry . In my opinion, this is the only pawn shop for me. They have a wonderful selection!
Woah! Thank you so much, Melissa! We are in business because of awesome people like you and your family.
J
Awesome people! Best pawn shop in town, and only place I put my trust in! Visit them, you will definitely have a great experience ! Paul in the guitar department is very knowledgeable, he goes out of his way to help!
Thank you, Jude! We will pass the message along to Paul!
C
I have been a customer with Valley Pawn ever since it opened. I recommend anyone to do business with them. They have been very nice & cooperative. Thanks again for your time.
M
Been a loyal customer to them for many years and they always have great deals on any item. Christina is very helpful in the jewelry department. Ask her for any help when shopping that area. Best Pawn Shop in NM. Highly recommended.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Matthew! We will pass this along to Christina!

Valley pawn really is a great place. The staff is wonderful very friendly and willing to work with you to the best of their ability. Great environment I recommend it to anyone...
S
Great service, strict adherence to covid distance and occupancy policies. Jacob's service was excellent, he took a lot of time (maybe too much!) Showing us the jewelry pieces. They also have sizing and rodium plating available. I ended up finding a tool I needed. Largest tool selection, all brands are available.
Thank you, Sudheer! We appreciate you taking time to leave us an awesome review!
J
I go to pretty much every pawnshop in town and I have a few of my favorites for particular things or purpose but without a doubt the number one pawn shop in Albuquerque versatility honesty and overall knowledge In all things Pawn from jewelry to musical instruments this is your one stop shop they do it right you’re not a number you’re not a cash ticket you’re actually a person that they are genuinely trying to assist whether it be with cash or merchandise.To all my Homies there thank you guys for always taking good care of me and helping me in times of need. If you haven’t been in a while definitely go back this is one Business here in town that is actually Striving to improve every time I’ve been in their props to management

Amazing people. Found the knife my girlfriend had been looking for at an amazing price. Very kind, very respectful people who are always willing to help! Definitely come here again!
Thanks for leaving us a great review, Roan! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
K
Went in to look at guitars. The guy was amazing. He sat with me and had me try a bunch of different guitars to make sure I really liked my selection. He was really nice and gave me pointers and sat and played with me for around an hour. It was awesome! He really gave me a great deal with my final selection and my friends were shocked how great of a guitar I got for the money. I have also been there for guns and the folks there were awesome! Great place to shop.
M
This is my third or fourth visit here. Friendly people, nice selection of merchandise, security on premises and tolerant of my puppy when I had to bring him in with me. Knowledgeable folks behind the counter, professional service and everything is very orderly despite the abundance of stuff. Very satisfied with my visits and I will continue to be a customer here, no disappointments.
S
We needed help choosing a TV and an associate, Paul LaVelle, was very helpful and made our experience much better. I also needed help finding good tools and he helped me find the best offer. He also tested our tv at checkout for quality assurance.
Thank you, Shawn! We will pass this along to Paul!
C
Just made my first purchase from Valley Pawn, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were very helpful, friendly and easy to work with. I definitely plan on returning in the future.
Thank you so much! We are so happy that you had a great experience! Next time you come in, show this reply to the cashier for 10% off your purchase. See you again soon!
J
It was my first time in a pawn shop I just wanted to see what things they have. And the customer service alone will have me only going to this one. Angie in the armory was the lady who helped me and talked to me like we were life time friends! made me feel really welcomed. I definitely will be back!
Thank you for your review, Jerome! We will pass this along to Angie for you.
T
Rings I have purchased are beautiful and have great prices. However the customer service team needs work. I was informed of wrong sizing prices and there was no possibility of accommodation. They also did not let me know when my ring was done being sized and I had to call and ask, then was put on hold for 12 minutes.
Hi Terese! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and we apologize that your experience with us was sub-par. We will be taking your review and using it for training purposes so that next time you do business with us, it will be an enjoyable experience. Have a wonderful day, and we will see you again soon!

Sounds like the owner/management truly cares here. At this time of this reveiw there are over 700 reviews and everyone I saw had a professional responce to it. That's a lot of time spent caring and understanding what the customer experience is here. Great job! I have been here multiple times shopping musical items and tools. There is always something new here is why I like to go at least monthly. The gun department always has something new as well and never miss checking it out too. I have a large commercial truck and park on the off street that boarders the property, if this is helpful to some. I reccomend this place due to having a large selection of items, clean atmosphere, and not a junky looking place at all.
Thank you so much for this awesome review! We have been working hard the last few months to improve our store image and professionalism. We have a goal to become the gold standard of the pawn industry and when our customers notice all of the hard work we have been putting into our store, it is very gratifying. We must be doing something right! Again, thank you so much and we cant wait to see you again soon!
A
We went to buy an engagement ring and had the best experience with Jacob. He was amazing at explaining everything we needed to know about our purchase. Will definitely be buying with him again.
We are so glad you had a great experience with Jacob! We will pass this message along to him for you. 🤗
S
Always busy, the staff is helpful and friendly, And the selection is amazing. 5 stars would of been my review, except that I found they have a tendency to have a ridiculous markup on everything being sold,
P
Great selection of an array of items from musical equipment to discounted video games. Went there for the first time and got three great PS4 games at a serious discount, no scratches on the discs, and the clerk even gave me bargains on the games original price. Had to leave a bit sooner than I wanted, but I definitely will be back to check out the drum sets, glass, and computers! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to peruse a pawn shop to find interesting items that fit your wants!
M
I really appreciate John in the music instruments section. I recently visited and found an older Japenese made Fender telecaster. John answered all my questions and even got me a better price than listed. Also love the gun department. Great prices and friendly staff all over again!
Thank you for the feedback Mike. We will make sure to tell John that he is doing a great job!
J
I went to pass sometime, I rarely visit pawn shops. This one was fun, enjoyable and the service superb! I was only browsing, ended up buying a pair of sunglasses for 1/4th the retail cost. I shopped the music instrument section, the sales gentlemen was knowledgeable and friendly. I shopped the gun section with similar results, top notch service with a glad you're here attitude. Cashed out with the same glad you're here. The security guard also great greeting both when arriving and coming.
V
I believe they do their best to be as fair as possible with customers. I appreciate the effort that bottle I've seen by Valley P. to move the line quick and assist each customer. Angie took the time to assist me this time she was knowledgable and very efficient at her job. Thanks for your professionalism!
S
VP is amazing! I've been going to Valley Pawn for over a year now and I've never had a bad experience. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend VP if you want to sell, pawn or are looking for something cool to buy. They have always met all my needs.

I always have a great experience at Valley Pawn. The best deals. The firearms department are always helpful when I pick up my transfer. The cashier Emma was very friendly and I appreciate that. You guys rock! Best pawn shop in Albuquerque!

I’m a middle class mom with an SUV. I took my 16-year-old daughter to Valley Pawn hoping to get a good deal on a violin. Although it is a pawn shop, they have created a welcoming and safe environment. The store is well organized and the staff is super helpful! John in the instrument department was very helpful and patient with my daughter. When she finally made her decision, he tuned it for her and gave her a short lesson on how to care for the instrument, hook up the amp, tune it, etc... In all we bought an acoustic/electric violin, an amp, amp cord and a sander for a total of $350. The violin alone would have costed me $400 if I bought it online. They have high quality merchandise for a fraction of the price. Take your family to check it out. It’s actually enjoyable bargain hunting 😀
a
I've been to many pawn shops but I'm satisfied with this one. I do most my business here and I can always find a great deal when shopping. Best customer service i have ever received. They always make sure that my questions are answered and that I'm taken care of.
T
Every time I go there I am totally satisfied with their merchandise as well as their employees they go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied and do their best to get you good amount of money on a loan. They are very knowledgeable! I do business at valley pawn and always will! Other pawn shops do not compare to valley pawn!
T
Absolutely amazing customer service! I am 8 months pregnant and was struggling in line and with the heat. The security guard got me some ice cold water, and Angie even gave me an ice cold Gatorade once we got to the counter. We laughed the entire time, and just had an all around amazing experience!
Hi Tara! Our customers are our #1 priority here at Valley Pawn. I am so glad you had such a good experience and hope to see you again!
G
I can't recall ever having a bad experience with any of the workers at Valley Pawn, I have always been greeted very kindly,what else could I say but I love this place, yesterday however I was promptly taken care of and was treated like my time was precious I would like to give a huge THANK YOU TO TROY, You/he was awesome not only did the system shut down for 30 minutes he and the rest of the staff were on top of helping the customer get in and out, I have been to tons of pawn shops from as far back as I could remember, But Valley Pawn is the icing on the cake, with more folks like Troy working for this amazing Pawn Shop believe me all the other Pawn Shops would have to hire some people with not only knowledge on everything in the shop, but his/her personality would have competition with this amazing man Troy. Once again Thank you Troy for treating me like a human not just a customer who's time or questions don't matter you rock keep up the Amazing work 💯💯💯👍 With all my respect and thanks, Gabrielle Tapia

I have been so pleased with Valley Pawn! First, when I pawned my ring the young gentleman was very professional and friendly. I feel he gave me an Excellant price for my ring. 2nd Avy made me feel like valuable customer. She was so nice, professional and quick (with a smile) as well as the 2 individual upon entering the store. The place is clean and they have tons of cool stuff. I would recommend this place!
M
The woman who work there judge a book buy there cover i have had multiple bad experience's when I have went pawn the two main ones are the young woman who works in pawn always with Vincent the manager also lady. Works up at the front entrance that greets people talk brown hair she has not only been raciest but has also been very rude disrespectful in business like an haas cost valley pawn many valuable costumer as well myself an a several friends who have been mistreated or have seen her mistreat customers.i think valley pawn needs too have a class for the employees to have proper costumer service so that so that they know that it is the customers who pay their salary by purchasing products from value pawn and without those customers they don't have a job. I have noticed that valley pawn has not been able to pawn a whole day due to lack of money. And I'm sure it doesn't help that they're losing out on valuable customers as ourselves that would be purchasing items if they weren't being treated Miss poorly. I myself friends and family wish it could go back to how it once was before where the customer Representatives were friendly helping and kind not just mental and kept the customers wanting to come I've been purchasing items from valley pawn for 10 years plus and now into the point where I refuse to purchase any items or even go to the store due to the horrible customer service I've experienced they still do have some good workers that are kind of respectful like Paul one man that works in the music not the short brown hair one but the one with blonde hair and tall and has a ponytail. Yet I don't seem to recall many more than those two. Last time I was there I was told if I didn't like I was being treated to just never come back again so I'm getting all of my items out of pawn and I won't unless things change quickly and the workers that have that poor customer service are trained or gone
Ms. Gray - We do apologize that you feel so uncomfortable when you visit Valley Pawn, however, you are known to frequent Valley Pawn accompanied by individuals that have actually stolen from us. The Valley Pawn team is expected to provide the best customer service in the industry and staying attentive and making sure customers know that we are available for all your questions is key. We are glad to hear that our customer service is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Thank you!
S
I bought a microphone from there and and that microphone is MXL 990 and the person who sold it to my dad saying that "The microphone been here almost for a year or year and a half and now" Til this day the microphone sound weird now when I speak into it
m
Paul is an excellent employee that really goes out of his way to help. Scored a great price on a great instrument
We agree, Paul is pretty great! Thanks for choosing us!
M
Always have a good experience here. I’ve pawned, sold and bought stuff from here and everyone is super nice and will try and get u the most they can for your items. Definitely will continue to do business here.
Hello Michelle, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Glad you had a great experience! Thank you for your business!

There is no better place to pawn your valuables. Valley Pawn always has given me the most money " sometimes even 3 or 4 times what others have offered". The staff is courteous and have the ability to drop prices here and there when you are a little short on money. But most of all through this epidemic when everyone was hurting for money they wavered their interest payment for two month's on my loans. No one else has ever been so caring and compassionate. Thank the owner's and staff for everything.
W
It was my first time pawning something and it was a great experience! Made me feel comfortable with everything! Troy was awesome!
Hello Wanya, we are glad to hear you had a great experience! It was a pleasure doing business with you!
J
Best pawn shop in the state, maybe even in the region. I’ve been to a lot of pawn shops from California to Texas and this one is awesome. Best prices, best selection, best customer service. If I could give you 10 stars I would. I’ve been shopping since they were in the small building across the street. I’ve purchased everything from guns, tools, jewelry, computers, etc.... I always go here and will continue. Best prices on firearms. I love this store.
Thank you, John! We love you too!
C
I lost one item at this pawn shop. They should have a grace time, and also should send reminders. I have been pawning my items now off and on for about 10yrs. This is the first lost I have had. I was only a couple of days late and they sold my necklace. It was very,very sentimental to me. But as long as Valley Pawn has their money because that's all they think of. They don't think about the people at all. Maybe a grace time because with the pandemic people are struggling. I will NEVER do businesses at Valley Pawn ever again.
d
Yes this place is great! Everyone there is so kind. Jacob is really out going and works very well to give you a fair deal. He’s always Help us to meet our needs and we’re really satisfied with the customer service we receive and the great deals we get.Thank you all ! You all are great!! I just love this place especially the jewelry department the people there are fantastic. See you all soon 😊
Thank you, Dolores! We will share this awesome review with Jacob!

I'm not much of a "pawn shop guy" as most of my experience buying items hasn't been great--until now. I've now bought two guitars from Valley Pawn and couldn't be happier! Great prices, great service and the guys there are super nice and great to work with. I hope to continue to add to my collection of quality instruments at a price I can afford. Thanks Valley Pawn!
Hey there Alonzo! Thank you so much for leaving an awesome review! We are so glad we could turn you into a believer. See you again soon!
S
Customer service is impeccable here. Each time I go in, or call, I am treated with respect and courtesy. Valley Pawn has a helluva team and I want to thank them!
R
I pawn my Navajo pearl and a beautiful turquoise necklaces and was treated terribly. They switched my Navajo pearls to a lower grade necklace and they switched my turquoise pendant out to another sky blue turquoise. Very dishonest people’s at valley pawn. I don’t recommend them.
N
I really enjoy going to valley pawn quality merchandise plus I have tokens to spend I have been saving. Thank you Staff for helping me out when I needed to extent my time with my jewels. Valley Pawn Staff are Great and Friendly.
M
Always had great service at VALLEY PAWN!! Reasonable loans and product layaways. I can't wait for them to continue with firearms. Quality new handguns and revolvers!!
D
First & foremost, this is not the typical pawn shop. These people respect their clients. It's clean. It's organized. There are plenty of staff members to assist you. They are always checking with you. It's like having a personal shopper. You don't get judged by your appearance. I shop there very frequently. I have yet to have a bad experience. I'm always allowed to test products (tools usually), if something isn't quite right, they try to make it as right as possible. Great customer service on the floor and at the counter. Thirsty, hungry? Buy a drink and a snack. Did I mention organized? No mass bins of misc. hand tools to dig through to find that sharp piece of metal at the bottom waiting to go up under your finger nail. I've been in many pawn shops in Denver, none come close to Valley Pawn. Women can find beautiful, high quality jewelry, Rolex for her man... why not. Looking to improve your car audio, sure! How about tools for your employees, available and ready to use!! Yes I recommend them. Thank you
F
Thanks to Will. He helped us purchase over 3 computers. 2 laptops and a desktop. I waited to write a review to see how long the computers would hold up since they were used. We have owned them for a over 6 months and have not had any issues what so ever. Thanks Valley Pawn for your discounted rates on top notch product's! Will refer friends and family and will continue to shop with you guys in the future!
Thank you so much, Felisha! We will make sure Will sees this awesome review!
R
With the largest selection of items at any pawn shop in the state and service that is exceptional I truly enjoy coming in regularly to see all the new items in stock. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Recommend Valley Pawn to all my friends and family. Great people, great prices, great selection, what's not to love.

I’m reading other people’s reviews and they all seem to be satisfied with the service from this place . I didn’t have the same great and amazing service other people did , as a matter of fact it was very disappointing coming in today I brought a paint sprayer to sell . The girl at the door made me an offer liked at the sprayer and even asked another employee about it and she said they will buy it . After almost 30 minutes of waiting my turn at the register the looked at the sprayer, take it to the back to test it and the guy comes out saying that they just weren’t gonna buy it . It took me about an hour to get fro. The door to the register just to get turned around. Then they tell me to just wait to the side and they completely ignored me until I ask another girl to give me my stuff back , can’t agree either reviewers
Hello Nathan, I apologize that you did not have a great experience at our store. We pride ourselves on our top-notch customer service and it sounds like we did not deliver on that front. I spoke with our pawn team to see what happened and where we could do better going forward. When I spoke with our team, they informed me that they did give you a quote and said that they would purchase the paint sprayer from you. Once the sprayer made it to a team member to be tested, they found that the sprayer was defective and we do not buy defective items. The quote that our staff gave you at the door was assuming that the item was in proper working condition. Along with this, our lines have been steady, but we have not had anyone wait more than 30 minutes in line for a long time. Our team is very efficient at moving the lines and although it may have felt like an hour, I can assure you that it was not. I am sorry that it took so long for you to get the paint sprayer back from our team; that was on us, and I once again apologize for your experience. If you would like to discuss this further, please send me an email and I will be happy to speak with you. [email protected]
J
I purchased ice axes and crampons via Ebay from Valley Pawn. All around an excellent experience and I will do business with them again. The staff communicated promptly regarding product questions which encouraged me to make the purchase. The products arrived on time and in very durable packaging. Trustworthy and reliable. Thank you!
Thank you, John!

We're from Santa Fe so pawn options are limited but also not so great in prices they give. We always pass by Valley Pawn when we're in town and thought to give it a shot and so happy we did. On both visits we were very pleased! Got top dollar for everything we took in! Angie and Scott we're great! We will definitely be back!

I came in today to purchase a 50th Anniversary Fender Stratocaster. The asking price was $1500 which was way over priced. After talking with the manager we agreed on $1250 with an authentic fender hardshell case. While trying to close the deal and already shaking hands with the manager they could not find the case. The manager was upset and said that was a $300 case. I told them that I would be ok with knocking off $250 and getting my own case. The manager would not even speak to me and he told the sales person to tell me I still had to pay $1250 without the case. They tried to stuff it in a Jackson case and the Fender was too big. I felt completely insulted and wronged. I walked out very angry and I will not be going back. I ran the serial number when I got home and found out that it wasn't even a 50th anniversary. It was a 2007 Deluxe model that goes for $1100 on Reverb. Not only was I insulted and wronged, Valley Pawn tried to Hustle me. The back plate had been replaced with a 50th Anniversary plate. I have been a customer of Valley Pawn for a very long time and after today I will never step foot in there again. I will make sure all of my friends and family know not to go there...

This is a happy place for both my husband and I. For him, there is a wide selection of quality fire arms and he is always happy with the asking price. For me, they have some beautiful jewelry pieces and good deals. I went in with my daughter and a dainty 10k gold ring caught her eye... $36! Sold! Also, the jeweler at Valley does gorgeous custom work and repair. He's very good at what he does.

I was pretty put-off today when the door man refused my re-pawn despite having borrowed countless times and never defaulting. I was ready to quit doing business with the place! I won't go too much into it but I have to give major props and shout outs to Mgrs Paul and Vince for their exceptional customer service and restoring my loyalty. Hands down, THE best pawn shop in Albuquerque! There's a reason they're always busy...
Thank you so much, Stacy! We appreciate you!

Valley Pawn is a awesome place to visit and shop. Their staff is always helpful and honest. I have been going to this pawn shop since 2008, when they were behind the boost mobile across the street. Always in a bind especially they are the most helpful. Thumbs up for Valley Pawn.
Thanks, Adan! We love all of our customers, but there's a special place in out hearts for the ones who have been with us since the beginning!

I've been going to Valley Pawn since they first open their doors in their first location. I have gave my business to Valley Pawn vs big box stores is because they treated customers with respect and they were willing to haggle like a pawn shop should. My last two encounters at Valley Pawn with Alex, Dina just crazy. They smile in your face and don't care about you.they just want your $ I will no longer take my money there!!!
Hello, Joseph. During our shut down, we went through our entire inventory and marked everything down as low as we could go so that our customers would get the best price without having to haggle. I am aware of the situation you are referring to, and I am sorry we were unable to give the price you were looking for. We are riding the waves of this pandemic like so many other small business and we are trying our best to stay afloat; we understand that our community relies on us for low-interest collateral loans to help make ends meet. Please understand that us not being able to give you a deal does not mean we do not care about our customers. Thank you for your patronage over the years and if you would like to discuss this further, please send me an email at [email protected].

This is the top spot for buying and selling that's NOT called eBay. In fact, you don't even need to go to eBay, these guys will probably have what you want, and if not they can get it for you. This review is more geared towards the warehouse and the professionalism I witnessed, most notably by Scott and his willingness to get my product loaded into my car. Scott seemed to not have a lot of help, although two other guys helped him load my product, Scott made sure that everything was in place and told me that if I needed any additional assistance they would be there. My hats off to Valley Pawn and more specifically Scott, thank you Scott!
Thank you, Andres! We will pass this along to Scott and we are so happy that you had an excellent experience at our store. We hope to see you again soon!

Valley pawn is pretty legit. Any interaction/transaction we’ve shared has gone smoothly. I think they’re pretty fair with their pricing when you pawn/sell with them. It’s my go to spot. And any employee I’ve encountered has been very professional, polite and helpful. Two thumbs up for valley pawn!
Thank you Chante Hill for the kind words. We are so proud that we can serve the public and continue to have customers like you.

I came in the other day looking to pawn some unique items. I’ve never been inside a pawn shop before so I was a little nervous. I was helped by Scott who made the process less nerve racking and made me feel valued as a customer. I was able to walk away confident and happy. Thanks Scott for all your help.

The women behind the jewelry counter are fabulous very friendly and helpful. The check out girl I dealt with was not very friendly and was slightly dismissive. I have been there twice in a month and she was the cashier i dealt with both times. Same experience both times.

Valley Pawn is my absolute favorite Pawn Shop. It's also my favorite firearms store. When anyone asks me where to go for a good price on guns, I tell them that Valley Pawn is great, and has a wonderful staff. The store is well layed out, the staff is SUPER friendly, I don't think I've ever gone in and not received a smile and a 'how are you today?' from someone; even the Security Guard is great. The only critique I have is maybe a couple more clerks in the Guns Department.

Valley pawn is the only pawn shop I go too if you see the deals there you will understand why always treated well by all the employees so if you need anything go to Valley Pawn I bet they'll have it

These guys are awesome! I had an item on layaway and moved out of town, they were willing to work with me on paying the remainder off and get it shipped out to me with a very low shipping cost. Can't thank them enough! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!! Thank you to the helpful and friendly staff!
Nikala McPartlin, we were so happy to help in shipping off your tattoo machines. We hope that you will visit the store next time you are in town.

My husband drags me into pawn shops, not normally my cup of tea. thankfully the young man that helped him was able to ascertain my position and took the time to get to know what might be of interest to me. The experience turned out to be enjoyable for both of us thanks to Jacob's caring and attentive manner. Next time we're in town it will be a joy to visit again.
We are so glad he drug you in to see us! Jacob is fantastic and we are happy you guys had a great experience with our team! See ya again real soon.

I’ve been coming here literally for years. I feel bad for not knowing their names but every single time I’ve come here they’ve honored really what I asked for when I pawn things. Primarily firearms. Interest is super low priced and on top of that they also carry quite a nice selection of firearms also! Can’t wait to pick one or two up from here!
Oscar Rubio, it should be much easier to get to know the employees at Valley Pawn now because they are wearing name tags!! We are always getting new and previously owned firearms in so don't forget to check us out! We can also do special orders for our customers.

Honestly the best spot in town for a ton of stuff. I've found only helpful, honest folks there! To name a few, Paul (both of them), Adam, and Paige are all superstars! But I havent had any bad experience with any of them!
Thank you, Cade! We hope to see you again soon!

Joe E was very professional and courteous. He even gave me three dollars over what they gave me the last time I pawned that same item. It's the only pawn shop I'll go to.
D
The staff was super nice and Drea was amazing! They provide super fair prices for items you’re selling. Overall great experience and I’ll definitely come back!
J
Lots of good staff. Juan and Jo are always hustling doing what they can to get their customers the best possible service. I only deal with them. Whoever they have taking care of Facebook and answering questions via Facebook is on point too. I harass that person a few times a month with a plethora of questions and they reply very thoroughly and very quickly. All that hard work definitely makes the experience experience so much better. Hats off to Juan, Jo, and Facebook person!
Thanks for the great review, Josh! We look forward to seeing you soon! -Austin the Facebook Person

I use Valley Pawn for FFL transfers and they've always been super helpful. They have very reasonable rates (currently $15.99, I believe), and they're friendly, responsive, and quick. Thank you!
Thank you, Chris!

Full transparency, this place use to be great when I was an active heroin addict. Now that I’m sober, not so much. Recently, I’ve noticed the way they treat their “customers” and needless to say, I don’t find it appealing. Honestly, I can go to guitar center and purchase the $500.00 “Valley Pawn” Epiphone for $350.00. I guess if you’re in a bind to sell stuff then you can use them, just know if you were to go buy it back, the guitar you sold them for $125.00 is going to cost you $500.00 to purchase it back. If you’re not in a bind sell it yourself.
Hi Jon, thank you for your review, and congratulations on overcoming your addiction. We know it's a tough battle, but you persevered and came out on top! We try our best to make sure our customers are satisfied, and we are in business to help the community when they are in need of a collateral-based loan or if they need to sell an item for quick cash. With that said, we are still a business and we have to make a profit off of our retail side so we can have money to loan people for their pawns. The situation you described above sound like it is based off of an experience you had with us. If you would like, please send me an email at [email protected] and we can discuss what happened and try to earn your trust again. Thank you, and have a great day!

If you need some extra cash in a hurry, this is an excellent place to go. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and with treat you with respect. And if you need to buy that someone a special gift, they have lots of items for sale. Thank you

I’ll miss the deals. Won’t miss the rude staff.

Always gives the best price when I'm in a pinch, and they never mind repeat customers! Absolutely worth the trip every time, and they have the longest payback limit I've seen!

I had an awesome experience searching for a keyboard in your music section. John did a great job helping me find the right one for my son all while proving exceptional customer service. The final transaction at the register was the icing on the cake. Keep up the good work Valley Pawn!

Every time I have been into Vally Pawn I receive professionalism and a really good exchange rate for the item I am either selling or pawning. My experience has always been a good one and i will for ever be a returning customer.
James Bitakis, Thank you for the great review. Please dont forget to refer all of your friends so they can get great deals just like you.
