  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.
