Wooden Nickel Pawn U, Kalispell

Love this place! So much cool stuff to see! I've known Steve for years and although sometimes grumpy, he's a very genuine HONEST guy! Before going to retail check this place first I'll bet he has what you're looking for.

Stepping inside for the first time, an initial impression toward this pawn shop is likely to be summarized by the word "cluttered" - this is not a mark against it. The Wooden Nickel is as a pawn shop of the old-school in that it observably disregards the trends of other shops, foregoing "will this sell?" in favor of "is this interesting?" And if you look around a bit, you're bound to find much that is, particularly in terms of decades-old militaria and vintage video games; certainly worth mentioning is the attached Brute Audio shop, which bears a GLORIOUS inventory for vehicle sound systems. All around the prices are standard if not lower than general expectation; my only grievance is the location, which is isolated from nearby commercial centers while lying adjacent to an establishment apparently run by hoarders. A pair of previous comments regarding the proprietor are a little entertaining if disingenuous, for while he does state his opinions quite frankly, his character is true and does not suffer from pretenses. I should probably recommend that if your constitution is oily and favors revenge-reviews over straight-shooting & haggling with dealers, you might consider avoiding pawn shops altogether; otherwise, give this place a shot - it'll probably surprise you.

I don’t know what his deal was, but I had called to ask a question before I drove all the way down there and the guy on the phone was incredibly rude to say the least. This is not the first time I’ve been spoken to in a disrespectful way by this guy. He needs to learn some respect, or at least costumer service because I’m very, very pissed about the way he answered the phone. If you don’t like your job, you can quit because no one likes douche bags like you.

I had a great experience at wooden nickel I went in with my 2 year old and was looking to pawn my black and decker drill that no other pawn shops here in the valley were willing to take for more then $20.. I was determined to get more considering I paid $100 for it it took some negotiating but his price he offered me was very fair :) thanks wooden nickel!
