I'm guessing a lot of people are stressed and not in the best frame of mind when they're walking into the doors of a pawnbroker. Overall my experience with Marina Pawn the couple of times I've gone in has been very positive. There's a few jumping behind the counter we've always been polite maybe a little sarcastic sometimes but they just try to keep the atmosphere light considering it's not a fun thing to go sell your stuff to somebody. Unfortunately I've had to do it many times over the years and Marina Pawn has been very fair and actually takes time to explain where they're getting their pricing from if you want to know. On two separate occasions they help bail me out of a jam literally giving me more money than what they originally offered just so I had enough to make do. The last time I was there I was selling some gold the owner walked in recognize me from being there in the past and told them just to bump up the dollar amount a hundred bucks to help me out for my continued business. I'd recommend you have an open mind it's not their fault you need cash

The location is one I'm familiar with and though after having had a bad experience prior concerning an Oculus VR set with controls, I opted to bring someone to try to help her buffer her bills with the pawn of her apple watch series 3. The person helping us seemed eager enough to help with the loan and pawn but I asked to check if he could just take my Galaxy S8+ for 100. That way the watch didn't need to be pawned. Clearly somewhere along the way there was a miscommunication. Long story short I won't pawn two high priced and mismatched items for 100 dollars. I'm told by the rep that they search LOWEST possible price via ebay. Nevermind the it's an on going issue with items being priced low beyond their value and the buyers never getting them from the seller on amazon and ebay. To this shop any advertised price, regardless of proof of item is cause to low ball their customers walking through those doors. Take your business elsewhere, where it is better appreciated and welcome. While there is nothing illegal of their business practice, that I can see, it doesn't mean their business model is a good one. The way the owner too replies to argue with those leaving reviews is very unprofessional and childish. I'm glad that twice now I've decided to walk away and find a better shop. This place is down the street from me and it's why I stopped here. No other reason.
