First experience ever at a pawn shop. The guy was super nice and explained everything. The place looked great. Would recommend. A+

I came to your pawn shop on el cajon Bl. , was looking for a guitar. You didn't give me time to look it over or play it as you said you were closing. That's the 2nd visit. I said I had 200.00 and I was looking for a Gibson. You said this is the only one I have. It's 350.00. I can't go any lower. I got it, but my friend came over and it's very clear the top of the neckstock is cracked and someone tried to fix it and paint it, and the paint is a different color. Are you going to exchange this for a different guitar? I will come up there this week as I talked to Seth and he said Tom is a nice guy, he will do something for you. Tom .I'm 70 and I just want a good playing guitar to have something to do. I'm on S.S. and I'm disabled. Please do the right thing. Chris. I will leave you really good feedback if you exchange this guitar you sold me for 350.00 that's cracked. read more

Got a nice electric guitar at a great price. Go see Seth, he is an awesome salesman and I was happy with the experience overall! Thanks.

From my recent experience, these guys are Good, solid people that try to help you out as best as they could. Easy to deal with and straightforward read more

This place was awesome. I was in and out with ease and stress free. It was my first time going to a pawn shop and I was really nervous but the person who helped me, (Seth)was kind and very helpful. In need I appreciated everything. Spanky's pawn shop is the bomb dot com! Amazing customer service! read more

Great selection and friendly staff. Seth, the guy working, answered all my questions and was very helpful.

Super cool guys, have helped me out with loans many times. Good pawn shop. Try them out if you need some help.

I came here because of the reviews but the guy wouldn't even look at the bag of electronics that I had brought in. He was giving me attitude with a nasty look on his face. I would go somewhere else if I were you, unless you want to be treated like garbage. read more

Nice and very helpful. I checked a few places out to sell my t.v of course i'm not going to get what its worth they have to resell it but the other place i called was trying to give me way less. Spanky's actually gave me what i was trying to sell it for. The dudes were awesome. I Had been trying to sell it on letgo,facebook ect for days now. Nothing wrong with it people just not interested i guess. Anyways its a good pawn shop to check out. read more

They didn't seem happy to see me as I came in with a smile on my face. I wanted to sell my Nikon D5200 camera and I asked for $300. With an annoyed look they told me "Nope" and told me to sell it myself. They also said my camera was cheaper than the offer I asked for and said $75 was it's worth. I searched online and a USED body of the camera alone is worth $230 not including the lens I had one which was worth more as well. Would not visit again. read more

A rare pawn shop that has a heart. These guys are great and much more fair than most others. It's a smaller establishment but lots of great items. Times are hard right now and I felt a little embarrassed to have to take an item in to them, but they were very nice and made me feel comfortable about it. I would recommend them to anyone. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. read more

Guys were totally professional. Great customer service. If i ever get into a bind this is the shop for me. Good selection of used tools. I guess they've been here for years. Who new? read more

Came in to sell some jewelry. I don't remember the mans name that helped me but I think he was the owner. He was brutally honest on the price and told me I could get more online, like ebay. He knew he would lose the sale but wanted me to get the best deal I could. That's reputable and I will be back. read more

I don't care how much they smile, I don't like going there. Probably not a place for females to expect a good deal. They don't explain the "process" well. It was not a good experience for me. read more

I must say that Spankys Pawn Shop is the best! I have been to several East County pawn shops and they are rude and unprofessional! I highly recommend that if you need to visit a pawn go to Spanky's. They provide excellent customer service and extremely professional! Diana d read more

I was in a big hurry and needed a man's wedding band - size 12.5 or larger. (Most jewelry stores only carry up to size 12) I called around and talked to Tom. He was awesome! By the time I arrived at the store, he had already put all the rings in the appropriate size together for me to choose from. I was in and out - and he recommended an East-County jeweler to do a same-day sizing. I was quite happy. Highly recommended. read more

Got myself into a jamb and needed money saw Spankys add on CL about large collateral loans went to the store total man cave but when I looked at all the Rolex's and Diamonds I couldn't believe the quality merchandise that was in the case any way I showed Tom my engagement ring and asked about selling it or borrowing money he asked me what I needed and I told him first months rent and a deposit Tom told me that I should probably just borrow the money and think about things before selling it and offered me a $2500 loan I took his advice and I am sooooo glad I did my ex and I have worked things out and I now still have my ring and now just go by Spankys to see what kind of treasures I can find.... read more

Very friendly and accomodating. Gave a reasonable loan amount for the jewelry that I brought in. Extremely helpful especially during times of emergency! read more

Spanky is the man. He made me feel very comfortable that my things were in good hands. No question I would do business here again. He also has a great collection of luxury watches at unbelievable prices. Might pick up a Rolex there soon! read more
