R & J Jewelry & Loan

I went here for a loan and they did help me out. I had a PS3 and a Laptop and I got less than I thought but I think it was fair in the end. Be sure to have I.D. because I left mine at home and had to go all the way back, whatever. They do charge interest but it's not too bad, of course they need to make money...they do charge WAY less than a cash advance of a Credit card though, so I couldn't really complain. My credit card or Bank (what's left of it) won't loan me money on my laptop or PS3..LOL! Anyway, I think I will use this place for money until things straighten out for me. BTW, I did deal with Angel too. He's not bad, I think it's a tough job becauses we all want more than we can get and we all think our stuff is soooo valuable. I think he might be the boss or something, whatever, I got my money and he's pretty hot too! Pros: Cash loan without credit more

The Old Bait and Switch ! Angel will tell you one thing to get you to come over then they LOW ball you and tell you some lame @ss excuse when you arrive . This place S*CKS ! Avoid more

This store is defintely not your typical Pawn Shop. They have two entrances right next to eachother. One takes you to the TV's, tools, stereos, muscial instruments, cameras, laptops, bikes etc.. The other takes you to what looks like a high end jewelry store but don't let that scare you off. They have great prices on everything in thier store so if you are looking for a special gift for yourself or someone else try them first. They even have a conveniet layaway plan. I've been going to this store for many years. The people there are always very nice and friendly and I've bought different things from rings to cameras. They have so many differrent items there is something for anybody. And when I need money they are the first place I go to. I highly recommend this store it is the only Jewelry store and Pawn Shop that I would ever recommend or go to. Pros: Free Parking on Second Street between Santa Clara St & San Fernando ST Cons: None more

I've been using Pawn Shops as a source for short term CASH loans for years and years now. This pawn shop (R & J) in particular is very nice and clean...the nicest LOOKING pawn shop I've ever been in. Most Pawn shops are dark and dingy with old and dirty merchandise displayed here and there with a big Luigi kind of guy behind the counter with a grumpy attitude!! If you are looking for a place you can feel good about leaving your expensive jewelry or electronics then go here like I did. I pawned my college class ring and my laptop (other places I called wouldn't even consider loaning on my laptop or blackberry) and I got the instant cash I needed to take care of my situation. When I walked in I was instantly greeted by a nice Asian guy with a "hello, what brings you in today?" and I felt like they actually cared that I walked into their business. The loan process was fast and easy, about 15 minutes total, and I got the $600 cash I needed. The best part is that the interest was way lower than if I took a cash advance off my credit card, and this loan will NOT show up on my credit report or anywhere else for that matter...it's totally confidential and secure. These people have been around since 1978 and they really know what they are doing...I just can't say enough good things about my new favorite pawn shop. When in need of instant cash go see R & J, you won't be sorry. Good luck, I hope this info was helpful because I know that pawning can be an stressfull when you don't feel the greatest about the people or shop you're going to for help. Pros: Nice people, free parking, fast service, speak english-spanish-tagolog, Cons: They don't take silver jewlery more
