Wimpey's Pawn Shop

Friendly people who work there that take their time to show you the items you want. We got my brothers guitar out of pawn and also bought 2 laptops! more

Wimpeys Pawn is an outstanding shop i have never been treated so nice, it seems everywhere else that i use to go to i was looked at like a piece of trash. When i walk into Wimpeys i feel as if i was at home and see nothing but smiling faces and employees who are quick and ready to attend your services. I bring my gold in to this shop and they pay absolute top dollar for my goods where in other cases the other pawn shops i used to give my bussiness to would only pay me about a third of what my jewelery was worth. I am so happy to of found wimpeys pawn shop where they are paying over half to 3/4 of what my jewlerys is worth.. In some cases even more im not kidding ,,i know it is hard to believe but these are the most honest people in the pawn shop bussiness i have ever met. The even better part about this great shop is there loans are for 5 months and the first month is completely interest free no money back just the ammount u borrowed. wow now who offers that? Please go give this pawn shop a try if you are in need of a little extra cash and i promise you will not be dissapointed. Just a foot note for all you guys gold is the absolute best product to bring in more

The family who owns the shop and their employee's are some of the nicest most accommodating people in the business. If I'm ever going to have a problem getting in on time or anything of that nature I call them and they work with me. You do not get that kind of service from any other pawn shop. more

I understand pawn shops assume all risks for everything they buy from everyone and they are in business to make a profit, but taking advantage and manipulating a customer is NOT the right way to go about doing that. My husband and I went into Wimpys to sell Krugerrand coins (10 oz of pure gold) that we acquired from a recent IRS auction. We don't normally deal in gold and had won them when purchasing a LOT of coins. We went to Wimpys knowing the spot (retail) value of what we had $15,860.00. We thought we could get at least $13,000.00 for them from a pawn shop. The guy that helped us went out of his way to give us the speech about how they probably wont make a profit off our gold and said he'd take all 10 oz for $7,700.00 That's $770/oz when gold was currently $1563.00/oz.. Now its not their fault I was so naive but I actually walked out of there with $10,000.00, and just about gave my gold away for $1,000/oz. I should have done more research because I ended up selling the remaining 3 oz I kept somewhere else for $1500.00/oz and this other company was grateful for me letting it go at that price. Like i said, I know businesses are in it for a profit, otherwise they wouldn't be in business, but to blatantly rip of a customer by feeding them lies and BS is not the way to go. I will never go back there and weill make sure everyone I know never does either . more

Wimpeys pawn shop is one of the best pawn shops in all of California that I know of, They have been here for a long while and it's a family business, they have never done anyone wrong, and they have so much stuff you're going to want to bring money with you, they have a little bit of everything, they are very helpful, and just like any person, if you treat them like you're friends, they will treat you like there friends, also Wimpey's is now open on Sundays!!, the ONLY pawn shop open on a sunday!! What pawn shop can save you on a sunday because you need money before Monday? more

wimpeys is by far one of the best pawn shops around. theyve been on that corner forever, and i hear they are moving to a new location in february of 2007. i hear it will be just down the street near costco. they have a ton of stuff in there. some old outdated stuff, and some newer stuff, but overall a good selection. you just have to be there when the good stuff comes out, or ask for it if you dont see it. i have bought several guns there, and a few pieces of jewelry. the jewelry prices are pretty much unbeatable. you just cant be afraid to make an offer and try to deal with them. theyre all pretty easy to deal with, and have never taken offense to a low offer. if you see a price that you think is too high, just make an offer on it, theyre usually willing to work with you. ive been to a lot of pawn shops, and this one, and their sister store in baldwin park (maine pawn shop on main ave) have to be two of the best in the area. more

Pawn Shops have always been good for someone down on their luck. The guy below wrote about needing cash and getting $100 bucks for a Movado. Well, if you think it's a rip off, then get a pay day loan. But if you pay the $100 bucks back w/interest and you get your watch back. I have only bought things from Wimpeys and never pawned, but I have gotten a good value on items there. It's not retail! more

I was a bit tight on money last month so I came to this place to get some cash out of my watch. It was a small place with 2 workers. They gave me over $100 cash for my Movado watch that I bought for $590 six months ago. The price was ridiculously low. I was in need of money so they knew and took advantage of me. I would not come back here again ever. more

Wimpey's pawn shop has been at the same place for as long as I can remember. They have a good reputation and constantly get new stuff in, but they don't have a consistent flow of anything such as books, vcrs, dvd players, video games. Nothing is constant they just have what they have when they have it! more

Wimpey's has been around forever. They have a very limited selection of antiques. more
