I've been visiting pawn shops for 60 years across the country, and this is BY FAR my favorite. Tobey is a brilliant entrepreneur, and Rachel and the entire staff are both delightful and exceptionally knowledgeable. (I can't help but wonder if "Edward H." was involved with one of the competitors that shut down because it could not compete.) Among its many other strengths, Tobey's has become my favorite firearms shore in the area--with new and used rifles and handguns, ammo, and a good selection of silencers as well. A former Army captain who served two tours in Vietnam, I've been a certified rifle and pistol instructor for more than 50 years. I have met few gun salesmen who can match Rachel's expertise, and none of them can rival her charm. On a scale of 5 I would easily give Tobey's a 7. (Check out their web site where you can check their inventory from the comfort of your home,) read more

I go to Tobey's for my firearm needs. I have always received excellent service from the ladies here at the Rio Road branch. It would be great if there was a wider selection of firearms but I know there are space limitations with a small business. They do have what I need and the service is always excellent. I appreciate how they walk me through the required forms to ensure they are completed accurately the first time and Rachel was able to answer all of my questions about the ATF forms. The folks here are indeed a pleasure to work with. I also feel I received a fair trade-in value. I might have been able to sell my item for more but not having to deal with the formalities of a person-to-person firearm sale was huge for me and I truly feel I received a good value for my trade-in. read more

I've known Tobey himself since he Opened his Original Store a few years back, He's very Friendly, Very Cool, knows how to compromise, Very Hilarious, Can spit out a Innuendo when you get to know him lol I'm one of his Favorite customers and his Prices are Compromisable and Tobey & his Staff have actually treated me like family T-Bone as I call him is a True Blue Guy with an Amazing heart My Last Item I bought was a 32 Inch TV. Its amazing! I Definitely Recommend THIS Pawn Shop instead of Snooky's. Also, This Shop is defo in walking distance. Tobey keeps it Real ^_^ Mike read more

Went in for the first time today. Bill and Rachel were both very helpful and friendly. The store was clean and well organized and we could see the available inventory clearly as well as the price of each item. We didn't expect to make a purchase but both my wife and I left the store with a purchase that we are very pleased with. The prices are extremely good and we fully expect to return in the future. As Tobey says "This isn't your father's pawn shop" and he is definitely "changing pawn, for good". read more

I made an NFA purchase today from Rachel. It could not have been handled in any better fashion. She made what has been a complicated process at other dealers smooth and easier than I could have imagined. Her knowledge of both the product and the process were exceptional and her personality was delightful. I will definitely be returning for future purchases! read more
