Best Little Pawn Shop

My buddy and I were gun shopping. We decided to check out this pawn shop, I always enjoyed buying smaller items from here in the past. I over heard a guy walking in and was selling a handgun that caught my eye. While the gun was in limbo, my buddy asked if we could buy it from the pawn shop. We were told it would be up for sale in about 30 days. The guy, original owner of the gun, asked if I was interested in "looking" at it, he was trying to make a quick sell. I said sure and the pawn shop handed the gun back over to the gun owner, since he was still the legal owner, to let me look at it. The lady, older, curly hair, told us that, "If he (gestures to me) wants to purchase the gun they could void out the agreement since he was still technically the owner of the gun, could go outside and we could make a deal. Just not in the store, thats illegal." I did not know that we could do that, and I had cash in hand with no loop holes, so We agreed to finish talking outside about the pistol. At that time another young lady brought a paper to finalize the transaction knowing it was going to be voided out. He signed the paper to finalize the transaction which in turn would be voided out. They went to get the owner to void it but he walked up and said "Im going to need both of your IDs to trespass you two for making a illegal deal in my building. I pay for the building and utilities and you two would not have known each other if I wasn't here." We told him that his employees said we could void out the deal and finish talking outside, not to buy but to talk. Both employees got loud and said "That's not what we said at all." Which is a lie. The gun owner said "I come here often, this is a store I love to shop at." Because of this i decided $200 was not worth the trouble. So I shook the gun owners hand and told him not to worry about it and to take his money and be on his way. They gave him his money and my buddy and I decided to continue looking at guns. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and asked to see other guns they had in the glass case. The curly haired lady called out across the room and asked the owner if it was OK for my buddy to see a gun even though he had nothing to do with the transaction that never happened. My buddy said "i had nothing to do with that." She then said with a smile. "You had it in your hands, touching it." He responded back "I did not touch the gun." and I stepped in as well and said "that I was the only one who touched it." We asked to pull up the cameras to see but she handed my buddy a gun to look at anyway. We ultimately decided to leave with this bitter experience. Im Officer T.Ortiz, My buddy is an Army Veteran of 8 years in the U.S. Military. We are owed an apology for how we were talked to by a pawn shop owner in an establishment that had multiple people watching. To the owner, I understand you have a business to run but the way you approached the situation was uncalled for. You lost 2 customers today that had nothing but positive to say about your business. I know you reply because I see you on reviews. Im waiting for my apology for myself, my buddy, and the other gentleman. What a way to treat Military, Law enforcement, and civilians alike. If I could put 0 stars i would have. I don't even talk to Inmates the way you talked to us. This hostility was uncalled for and unwarranted.

I recently went into this shop to sell a laptop and freaky boom box that I wasn’t using. Went in briefly to see if they sold these types of things there before lugging them in. A girl, Shelby, came out right after me and complimented my outfit, which I thought was really nice of her. Great minds, ya know.. (the outfit). After her and another guy there, also accommodating, checked out its value and what they could offer, it was a done deal. Easy and simple. The way it should be. Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for something to buy or , like me, sell. Lastly, Shelby is a memorable person. Nice, like I said and I’ll always remember her when I see the number 4. Especially 3 of them. Great place. 🙂
