I dealt with Dana at Beachside Pawn when I needed some emergency cash after my cancer cat had his leg amputated. He was extremely helpful and professional and got me what I needed. I highly recommend Beachside Pawn to anyone who needs to sell their items. They also have a great selection of all different kinds of items if you're in the market to buy.
EDIT I am revising my review to reflect the second (and last) visit I had at Beachside Pawn & Jewelry. FIRST & FOREMOST, the reason why you see so many 5 star reviews is because if it is the first time you need to pawn something they will give you an extra $10 if you leave a 5 star review. In other words, they are paying for reviews while taking advantage of people who are in a desperate situation like I was when my cancer cat needed his leg amputated to save his life. That extra $10 was the difference I needed to pay for his medication when he was released from the hospital. The second time I went there I had a brand new $600 Kodak 4K 360 camera, along with several other electronics, all brand new in there original package. I had over $1600 worth of electronics and I was trying to get a $200 loan. They were arguing with me about the value of everything, including the camera. I realize that they can’t sell items at retail prices, even if they’re brand new. (If you don’t pick up your items when you pawn them.) However, they were trying to say my camera was only the $400 version. They were using eBay as a guide, but #1 they weren’t comparing MY camera to the cheaper version on eBay. #2 When they were using eBay they were looking at the CHEAPEST auction that hadn’t even sold yet. (And it wasn’t a Buy It Now price, it was an auction for bid that had just been listed. I tried to show them eBay auctions of the version of camera I had (with all of the accessories), that had already sold. After arguing with me and telling me how little my items were worth for 30 minuted, without looking at the facts that I was showing them, and them saying they could only give me a $50 loan for new electronics worth $1600 retail I finally just left. I’d like to also mention that all of the electronics I brought in were all of the newest models. Because they did help me the first time, but were so rude and lying to try to take advantage of me the second time, I think 2 stars is a fair review. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PAWN SHOP!!! You’d be better off selling your items on Letgo or OfferUp. If you’re not looking to sell, but just pawn your items so you can get them back later I would highly recommend finding a different pawn shop to deal with. The people here are nice the first time, but then they are unscrupulous and rude...
Read moreWent in to sell collectible cards that I have a vast knowledge about being in the top 100 in the world of the game. They extremely downplayed my intelligence of the price of one extremely rare card out of a large collection of cards that will never be seen again to public purchases. Told the manager to look up one specific card because he’d be in particularly interested in by searching specific coding and numbering on said card. The manager intentionally pretends to use a diamond eye magnifier to inspect the card and ends up typing nothing I told him to type on the search engine to pull up a similar card that isn’t the same card at all. Sure it looked the same, sure it had the same name. But he didn’t even try to look up the card I was presenting to him. The card he pulls up was listed on eBay (a lot) for 1.99. When I tell you this one is listed for over 400$, don’t down play my intelligence by $300+ because I instantly called him out on not following my instructions on how to look up MY CARD. Man thought he was slick showing me a reprint of the card on eBay instead of my limited printed version. I won’t be going back to this place. They give horrible prices and try to convince the customer that you have no idea what it is you are selling. They downplay your items just to steal it from you at a low...
Read moreI am always treated with respect and their customer service is excellent. People are always caught up with the bad stigma pawnshops have and yet, you can get the same item at a cheaper and fair price on used and brand new items. What sets this pawnshop apart from the other ones in this area is their willingness to work with you, flexibility and oh by the way, if you really want an item and it’s too much at that particular time, you can do their interest free layaway. They don’t put a timeframe on how long you’ll pay your layaway (as long as you don’t default of course). So, if you’ve been dreaming of that 2 carat ring or that rifle you’ve wanted but is too much to buy at once, go visit beachside pawn and look for Chad . Tell him Joey sent you and he will take care of you. All of them in that establishment are honest, courteous and will try to work with anyone within reason. SAVINGS PLUS GOOD QUALITY ITEMS - where else do you want to go? Try them. You won’t get...
