The absolute best pawnshop in Los Angeles. If you are pawning selling or buying, Elliott is always very fair on his loans and prices for the items he is selling. It's also like a museum when you first see Elliots Pawnshop from the outside. The inside has a treasure trove of really cool things you can buy for practical every day use. Elliott has been in the same location in West Hollywood for over 50 years. read more

Crazy cool and old school. Picked up a TC-Helicon in there today. Sweet people. Sweeter prices! I can't wait to get back in there! They probably have it. ...and I know want it ....or soon will! This place lacks that "Buy something or get the hell out!" vibe many other pawn shops seem to have these days. ...Thank God for that! Going in there is like time-travelling, yet when I exited, I felt .....a little younger. Debut album soon: read more

I cannot say enough kind words for the exceptional people at Elliott Salter's Pawnshop. Elliott and his team are always happy to help and have saved me numerous times during rough financial times.

Also, I love all the stickers and tchotchkes Elliott has on his counter and office. read more

*sigh* Walking around this shop makes my neshema happy :) Elliott Salter (the nice Jewish boy pawn broker) is a mensch among mensches. I, fortunately, have never had to pawn off any of my belongings (knock on wood), however it's a crazy world, and you never know what will happen. We all go through ups and downs, and I've seen uncle Elliott help those who are going through hard times. He's truly a mensch and a half! The shop of full of some of the most interesting tchotchkes and nick knacks. I could probably spend an entire day going through all of the stuff in there.... high end watches, gold, rare guitars, sports memorabilia, typewriters, deer heads, etc. You name it, and it's highly probable they have it! I can't imagine all the things uncle Elliott has seen throughout the years. There's SERIOUS history within the walls of this humble little pawnshop. read more

I have to say, I've been doing business here for years and I couldn't be happier with the service. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. It's one of the best shops in all of Los Angeles. Highly recommend! LaBrandon read more

Really a wonderful shop. Pawn shops have a bad wrap from stigma, but honestly these guys will help you out with stuff you have on loan and/or get things. I've done business with them for years and wouldn't hit up any other shop 100% without a doubt the most trustworthy shop in town read more

This is Trion (HalfBreed) and i highley recommend this shop because no one does it better than Elliots, him and his team genuinely care and are more than fair when doing buisness.... Ive been affiliated with this shop for over 11 years i dont need want lr havr to go to another place, here you are treated like family. read more

Walked in and just such a bad attitude from the broker. Definitely lowballed me on my item. The other workers seemed nice enough, but this one guy just dominated the room with his anti-vibe read more

Extremely nice people and they try to be very accommodating. I feel they work very hard to have satisfied customers

If you're looking to get ripped off and lowballed this is place for you! I took two very expensive cameras to be pawned on a loan.. both sell used on eBay consistently I might add for about $1000 each with a high sell through rate btw, these dudes at this pawn shop offered me $280 for both with such a straight face!!! It was sad and pathetic! Do the research find a pawnshops that isn't looking to rip you off they're out there believe me! Soon after leaving I found a pawnshop in Culver city that took my cameras on loan for $730! Which is still low but much more reasonable! read more

I've Sold all my Gold over the Years on Hard Times. Found this place while doing Laundry at WeHo Wash and have been slowly rebuilding my Jewelry collection with really Cool and Unique pieces. I can literally spend hours in here and still not see everything thing! Great Vibes here!! I try to come once a week!! read more

How many times has Elliot funded me? Everytime! Ask for David, Joe, Mark or Elliot himself. Totally edited collection of merchandise. You can reward yourself endlessly with the people of this great shop. read more

Elliott's Pawnshop is an amazing place to shop, and buy or sell . They are very friendly and provide great customer service .

My favorite pawn shop in LA! Thank you to Elliott, David and Joe for being such a joy to shop with and purchase from! You never know what you're going to find here and Elliott Salter Pawnshop is sure to deliver on your treasure hunting dreams! read more

Don't recommend this place very unprofessional the guy is very lucky he didn't get punched!!

If you are accustomed to dealing with pawn shops, I will assume that you know what you are getting into. If you are not accustomed to dealing with pawn shops (which I am not) you might be surprised, as I was, to find that this shop looks quite seedy / scary. Saw a Craigslist ad for a cello, which looked like it might be an ok beach cello. Called to be sure they still had it before making the trek up there. Arrived to find a huge cage-type thing barring the door. Apparently I do not know the secret hand signal which would persuade the man behind the counter to buzz me in, so, no beach cello for me today! Just as well as I was quite creeped out. Maybe I looked suspiciously dangerous, with my music books and tuner. read more

I would highly recommend coming down to Elliott's shop before hitting a big budget store. From jewelry to electronics to musical equipment, why pay full price when you can get it for much less. I have bought watches for a third of retail. Got a few pair of sunglasses. A couple rings. Got some quite a few gifts for family there. You can buy more when you are paying less. In business more than 50 years, this guy knows what he's doing. Bring a few things to sell and it will make your purchases even cheaper! read more

Love the place and the people working there. Elliott is amazing, spoke to him for a while and he is great. Thanks for helping me out!

This is NOT just another five star review of Elliott Salter Pawn Shop! This is a love letter! For nearly 25 years I have had occasion to unexpectedly need Elliott's help. My visits have not only provided short term assistance - occasionally even a sale of something - but, I'm treated with respect, understanding and compassion.- as the member of a very special family, a family I'm very happy to have become a member of over the years. (And, sometimes I've even gone in just to buy a little something - starter guitar for a young, potential musician, a fine gold chain to replace one I've broken - there are really some treasures for sale there as well!) Thank you for everything Elliott! read more

LaLlaaaove this place! I'm addicted.. thank you once again for my perfect hidden treasure!

These guys are awesome! And their shop is AMAZING! My best experience in a pawn shop. Very friendly and helpful, and we loved the shop dog too! Also very COVID appropriate with plexiglass screens and sanitizer available for making everyone safe and comfortable. I'd like to come back for some more amazing treasures. read more

This is the most pimp bad ass pawn shop in Hollywood, if you go anywhere else you are literally wasting your time!

By far one of my favorite Pawn Shop in Los Angeles. The staff is like your family, really friendly, super knowledgeable about anything that comes through their door, they always offer higher lawn amount than other pawnshops. Shop has lots of antique stuff but also lots of music instruments and music related things. Have been going there for 2 years now and these guys never let you down. Come check them out! read more

I visited there today, with my mom. 2 purchases made, everything was perfect. Great service, prices. Thank you!

Bought a nice old silver dollar here. Good service and nice quick transaction during Covid craziness, with solid plexiglass between me and sales person. Good deal all around. No nonsense, no fuss, no haggling, no grumpiness. Easy. read more

This is place is a hidden treasure, even thought they have been in business for decades!! I have procured some of the most unique and special items here at a very reasonable price. Everyone you encounter at Elliott Salter is very helpful and nice. I've sold and borrowed against some rare items I own and receive a very fair payout. Great people who care about there clientele and have amazing finds at excellent prices. Stop by and see for yourself! read more

Eliot Salter's provides really good service. Have been using them for years. Is a place I'd highly recommend to people, who need little cash. The staff is very friendly and are helpful. read more

I have been doing business here for at least 20 years. They are honest, friendly and reliable. Three attributes that are not easy to find with your average pawn brokers. No reason to go anywhere else read more

My husband has been a customer at Elliot Salter for decades. He raves about the service, how cool they are, etc, and has used them both to buy great finds and when in a pinch, to get a loan against an item. I was in there yesterday and can say i now understand what he meant. Great guys, great service, people oriented. The customer is king in there. If you need to do pawn shop business in LA don't go anywhere else. 5 stars. read more

1. This is the most overpriced pawn shop from a dozen pawn shops I buy from. I have spent a few thousand here in the past but not anymore. 2. I see items from 6 months ago completely overpriced by 50% and still didn't sell. Squash Blossom Necklaces seating on the shelf for 2 years and still about 200% overpriced and these are garbage comparing to wha to you can get online. 3. Watches are just a few and again way overpriced. I asked if they had same watch on ebay and answer was I don't know. (LOL you don't know if you have a 10K watch on ebay that is going to cost you 10% in fees?) 4. When I asked what is the best deal on the bracelet that was listed for $139 I was told that's it we just got it. LOL you are not a retail shop you are a PAWN SHOP you got it for $20 for it and asking the full price of retail. 5. White gold chain that is pawn they got for $300 and maybe worth $1,000k offered for $3,000 and when I asked price was told it actually is going to be more since gold went up. Really? These two owner and son or manager characters play theater one takes the piece to the other. Hey man what do you think about what can we do here ... well I don't know this is well priced we can't discount this. What a waste of time!!! read more

My triathlon bike was stolen and i reached out to Elliott. He could not have been any kinder. He explained to me how things work and some recommendations. While my bike has not been found, his compassion stands out. I had called many pawn brokers and very few actually spoke to me. His warmth and kindness was/is much appreciated. read more

Elliot and Dave rock! Not only do they have a gold record from the gypsies but they are super kind and give you a good deal. 5 stars

If you need some cash quickly, then this is the place. I first got a loan from them in the '70s when I lived in the area. I moved back a few years ago and needed some cash for a birthday present for my wife. I brought one of my guitars in and immediately got what I needed and Elliot and staff were great. This is the coolest pawn shop in LA ( being a musician I'm always checking pawn shops out for guitars and amps) and they have some really cool stuff for sale. Elliott Salter rocks! read more

Love this place! I've been coming here for almost 20 years now! Solid place where you know your stuff is safe, they will always work with you and are very understanding. Just left and couldn't of had a better vibe then with Joe and Dave. You gotta get there when Elliot is there too, it's like he's the perfect fitting character out of a Movie for a pawn shop owner. True Story. read more
