Joe at the gun counter was great! Very chill guy, super knowledgeable, even took the time to show me some cool stuff he had in the store. I was given a trade-in price for a firearm that I was very happy with, and the prices to begin with aren't bad. Highly recommend read more

I have always been treated fairly and received a fair amount for items that I have sold to them. They provide a great service and treat you with respect. Sincerely Alvin Balerio read more

Tiger Pawn - Pawn Shops Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

I put myself into a jam and needed about $158 bucks for rent fast. My jam was using up my cash to pay for books and classes, and not use credit cards, thus leaving me with no $$ for rent. I could have and should have put at least a few hundred on the card, but I wasn't thinking and used debit. So now my account is near empty and I have rent due that day and my paycheck not for another week and half. I know I fudged up. Just wasn't thinking. Maybe I thought I would get a check prior to rent, anyway.... I enter the store with a almost brand new tv that they could have easily gotten several hundred for, so I told them $200. Nope. The guy knows I'm in such a spot that he says not a dime over $65. He's smiling the entire time I'm putting stuff on the table. I learned a lot that day. About money, about life and most importantly, about assholes. read more

Went here to purchase a fire arm filled out paperwork and everything was told it was taking a bit to get a response they will call as soon as they get one when it was time to pick it up was told they sold it the day after I came and it was nothing to do I was never told to put it on layway to hold it or anything they just shrugged me off like I was nothing and also I came in day before date to pick up to check status on paperwork was never told anything then either about them selling it maybe since I'm not the right skin color they could care less about my business anyway but poor communication and customer service read more

Not nearly as good as family pawn. This is what you expect of a pawn shop: small, dirty, cluttered. A few hidden gems once in awhile of you are really looking. read more

I wanted to sell a rifle and thought that I could get around $100 dollars for a Mossberg .50 cal. The man behind the counter offered $15 dollars. When I said I thought it was worth $100 he laughted and said out loud to a co-worker that I was dreaming. I left and returned about a month late and saw that they had the same rifled that I had for $350 dollars. You tell me what kind of idiot would do bussiness with these misers. read more

I got a diamond ring that was brand new as a gift... and I didn't need the ring but I really need the money from it. The retail value is around 4k. It's was a .75 ctw 7 stone Round diamond wedding or anniversary band with 14k white gold. I have taken it to a couple different places in Columbia. I was thinking I could get 1-3k for it since it was in mint condition. I took it to Hurst fine Diamond Cash for Gold sale... they only offered 200... I took it to the Diamond Bank on 9th Street... they only offered 200... I talked to Tiger Pawn on the phone and they didn't think they could do much better than 200. I have learned a lot about the ridiculousness of the jewelry price mark up at retailers and decided I would rather pinch pennies and eat bread and water for a while that hand over 4 thousand dollars to any greedy retailer. read more

The above persons view of his experience is completely exaggerated probably because of his stress of his bills. This attitude isn't unheard of from a person who hasn't ever been to a pawn shop before but the reality is that they are a business and try and help people with loans too. First they have to consider what they can give for an item based on 1. is the person coming back?, 2. what is the item new and what do people on average pay for that item used, 3. by law pawn shops have to hold items for 90 days without payment, 90 days later electronics can drop drastically in stores, most people can understand and realize that. Finally, im sure if there was a smile it was politeness and not one of having the person over the barrel. That is just not how they are there. read more

I have been to these guys a couple time. If you are cool and don't try and hustle them, they are usually pretty good about helping you out. They have to make money, so don't go in thinking they are going to pay retail. But they have taken a lot of useless stuff off my hands. I like talking to them when I go in there as well, good guys and good store. read more

Do not purchase a gun here. They do not test them, they do not care if the guns work correctly or not. I have been burned twice by them on guns and will not purchase anything from them again. Both guns have been dangerous to fire, I returned one to them, told them what was wrong with it, they put it right back on the shelf for sale after I used the partial credit they gave me for it to trade to another gun that turns out to be just as bad as the first one. For them if it looks good then it is good. read more
