After a bad telephone experience at Imperial Pawnbrokers (for which I wrote a review and should be…read moreread if considering to buy, sell, or pawn) and was told the items I wanted to borrow against (in not so many words) were not worth anything to them for a pawn loan I decided to check the reviews for Lincoln Pawn Shop. I am glad I did. The whole experience was perfectly painless and non-condescending. At no time was I told that the items I had brought had no value. They were honest, fair, and reasonable. The whole process was very fast and took about ten, no more than fifteen minutes and I walked out with a 3-digit cash loan in hand. The following is a more detailed account of my experience. I have done pawn loans a lot in my time but not in the last few years, so I was unsure if the process had changed since my last loan. Based on my experiences - it didn't matter what pawn shop I went to there was always one condescending person who wanted to lowball all of my collateral regardless of what it was. I mean, some one who would be willing to loan money against a 70s Fender Stratocaster over a newer G & L Comanche (or comparable guitar) just because of the "Fender" name. If you know guitars then that experience would mean something, if not, then read onto the next paragraph. I did a classic pawn loan. I brought with me more items than I thought I would need. Robert, the awesomely professional and fair gentleman that helped me, asked me what amount I was trying to get. I told him. He looked at all of my items. He proceeded to tell me ". . . with these [six] items alone I can loan you [X - amount]". It was a very reasonable quote on the following: Ibanez RG (black on black) electric guitar in a Carvin tweed case, a couple of electric guitar effects pedals (including a vintage Dunlop "Jimi Hendrix" Cry Baby), and two Jorg Gray (model 9800-12 & 9800-13) watches that work but have dead batteries. Next time I need to borrow cash in a pinch and have something of value, these guys are my new pawn shop! I know they will be fair, reasonable, and respectful of the things I bring in (like my father's coins or my wife's jewelry). I also checked out the merchandise they had for sale. There were several choice long guns and a few shotguns on the wall and an awesome, affordable selection of guitars and vintage amps. They had coins, tools, sporting goods, and watches. All the prices I saw were reasonable to begin with so I didn't ask how firm they were. But I will most definitely go back when I have some extra cash to get another guitar.

I first reviewed this company when I desperately needed money and they helped me with a loan in the…read moreexact amount I needed. I gave them five stars at the time due to the exceptional service, friendliness, and respect I was shown. The loan became due recently and I felt compelled to update my experience due to some of the negative reviews. First off, I received emails and text messages reminding me that my due date was coming up. I even received a phone call from Lalo, manager, to let me know. When I informed him that I was trying to get the money to pay off the loan as I didn't want to lose the jewelry I had given as collateral, he told me to just stay in contact and keep him informed. I had to call him three times to keep getting extensions past the final grace period due date. Every single time, Lalo was so gracious and reassured me that my jewelry would not be sold and extended the time I requested. It took me an additional week and a half to pay the loan and pick up my jewelry. I had two items and they were packed individually in bubble wrap and put inside a nice box. The level of care taken to store my jewelry should tell you enough of how great this pawn shop is. All the negative reviews, I suspect, has more to do with the individual than how they were actually treated. I've had occasion to use three different pawn shops in the past and I would recommend this pawn shop over any other.

****ATTENTION***** Hey! there is absolutely not one lie whatsoever in anything i said!…read more quite the opposite. 4 messages? there was two and do these messages mention anything about an item about to be forfeited or provide any helpful info or could they just be mistaken for a random advertisement/spam? Plus These messages came that same week, not 30 days ahead and that can be proven. Did you not sell my item immediately as soon as you could and over the weekend? so fast that it wasn't even in your system yet that you had sold it. Tell me i'm lying again when i say your employees, your computer system and your website still all thought my item was at the shop. If i were so late to pick it up, wouldn't these things been done by then? But No, like a little leprechaun with his lucky charms you were so quick to run off with it that nothing had to time register. Tell me that if it were tools, or memorabilia or any other type of item, that you wouldnt still have it there a day after the date, but this was a quick buck. You want me to learn from the experience, how about you learn decent customer service and some consideration. You also only gave me half of what it was worth. It's not like its value is only what you can sell it for. It has a set regulated monetary price for which it could be exchanged for at anytime. Its actually the one item that has the least amount of risk of loaning a fair price on. Thats if you were more interested in making money off the loan rather than keeping the item. Or you could have even given me proper compensation afterwards. So for anyone reading this, form your own opinion. Do you see a pattern here? Do you see a lot of little hints of shadiness or did i happen just make a whole bunch of mistakes then decide to come on Yelp and then just make this all up? How about the tone of the messages, was there a purpose behind him bringing up the whole names thing? Think maybe he could put some things into consideration, or even apology just for the fact someone had a bad experience doing business with him. Also, ask yourself if you're going to do business with someone, Is it nice to have just a speck of flexibility, or have your interests matter whatsoever. How about the willlingness to accept no blame then calling you a liar. Do these sound like good traits to you?

Found everything I needed which was a guitar tuner, an acoustic guitar case, a capo, a cleaning kit for my guitar, a guitar strap, and also got a bunch of free Ernie Ball picks that I really loved. People working there were really nice and friendly, even though we did come in the shop only 20 min before they were closing, telling us we could take our time, and there were not in a rush, which was really nice of them. Saw some really cool rare guitars, which are normally hard to find (for a left-handed person!), so definitely will be back to this shop again! 100% recommend.
