Always fair and do research on how to maximize the value of your collateral to meet the cash value and the amount you needed, they can even offer you a little but more based of he value of your pawn, also have a good selection of quality investment grade jewelries, designer shoes, bags, wrist watches and more!

“We’ve been using David and his team’s services for about 4 years now and we’re always extremely happy with everything! We’ve done everything from watch battery replacements to watch repairs, jewelry repairs, rhodium plating/cleaning of rings, engravings, as well as purchasing jewelry from them. David is such a caring and kind person, and their prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of work. I would highly recommend stopping by to see this team for all your needs! We plan to continue using them in years to come.”

“I have been to numerous pawn shops in the area and I stumbled upon Golden State Pawn and Guitar after I had the WORST and I mean WORST experience At Beach Loan Services Pawn shop. I was treated so badly even got cursed at by their employees and to make matters worse when they gave me my change they shorted me $40 bucks I was so upset and wanted to get out of there I didn’t count the change till I got in my car and after that experience of being cursed and talked down too and finding out they cracked my Apple Watch too I just left and didn’t go back inside to get the rest of my change !!!!!!!! After this unprofessionalism of a nightmare experience i took my business else where and never looked back !!
THATS WHEN I FOUND Golden State Pawn and Guitars and I am forever grateful because of the culture the owner brings to his business he genuinely cares about his customers and that’s rare especially when it comes to pawn shops! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone because after my horrible experiences with the pawn shops in the area I almost gave up on finding a good place, a place where they actually care for their customers and their items. Bobby the owner of Golden State is one of the nicest caring and most understanding people I have ever met. Because of this I still have my MacBook not only was he understanding he gave me a few days past my loan due date just until I got my paycheck to pick up my laptop any other place wouldn’t have ever cared to do this and would have sold it - and I know this because I’ve been threatened by previous pawn shops despite me having a good background and history of paying my loans on time and to be treated so badly and not even that I’ve had my items broken damaged and cracked from previous places (cracked Apple Watch, and a MacBook that was dropped and wouldn’t turn on) so finding Bobby and his pawn shop was a blessing. Not only do I deal with the owner directly the owner is understanding and kind and you can rest assure what ever he holds onto is stored away safely !!!
IVE BEEEN TO ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PAWN SHOP IN THE AREA AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS - GOLDEN STATE PAWN AND GUITARS IS THE PLACE TO GO AND I MEAN IT !!!!!
It took a bad experience to find this place but I’m glad it happened because I will never go anywhere else but here !!
THANK YOU BOBBY FOR RUNNING A WONDERFUL BUSINESSS WHERE CUSTOMERS LIKE ME CAN COME AND FEEL WELCOMED AND CARED FOR AND UNDERSTOOD AND KNOW THEIR ITEMS ARE KEPT SAFE AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF!!”
“I don’t usually go out of my way to write reviews but my husband and I came in looking for jewelry as we’ve gone to other pawn shops previously and wanted to try out this one. For our first time here, we found what we were looking for and for a better price. I definitely felt welcomed and had all my questions answered by Mike. My husband and I will definitely be returning for future purchases!”
“Lauren is always so nice to deal with. She is always ready to help me with a smile and I usually walk away with a great gift for my husband or something special for myself.”
“Had a great experience. Never shopped in a pawn shop before but the guy who helped me was amazing and answered all my questions and was fair at pricing. Would definitely recommend this place.”
“04\2024: this is no longer holiday inn but a DoubleTree. The food is great and the party halls are nice and big, depending on your venue. I would recommend2020: It's a great local Holiday Inn that is still up and running. They have great halls for your events. I would suggest.”
“I went to sell a few rings there and and they really helped me out a a lot! The guy even threw in an extra hundred because I go to the school that he had went to… I truly recommend giving them a shot if your selling/buying or even if it’s just taking a look for the heck of it.Very friendly people! Great store!”
“I absolutely love Michelle’s! She is kind and understanding! Very informative! She provides great customer care! All of the pieces I have taken to her for repairs or alterations were wonderful! Prices are lovely! Overall great experience with the establishment!”
“What a joke of a place if you want talk to Gary glass pipe or Timmy tweeker then this is your place .......the only thing I would go pawn them is there wife's loose a** and that's not even worth the trouble”
“I bought a finish nailer that was defective and they let me swap it out no problem; they were very helpful & very cordial. I intend to visit them as a first resource instead of a last resort in the future.”
“I have been to this shop and the 2 attached stores as well, for decades. I am almost 50 but have gone there since my 20s for selling coins and pawning jewelry to buying rolls of state quarters and all baseball card collecting merchandise. I knew the former owner and he had custom made jewelry GORGEOUS PIECES in the front display case and I swore one day I'd own one. What I love about this place is their knowledge and expertise at jewelry repair. I've had several pieces fixed and they are fair and polite and have always been kind and accommodating. I have never been disappointed. The custom 850$ ring I bought my daughter now wears and it's a 16 diamond and lab created alexandrite and still stunning as the day I bought it. Compared to the 18k gold with a 3ct peridot for 350$ in China town the alexandrite has stood the test of time. My daughter has had the ring since age 12 she's 22 now and I bought it before my son who would be 25 now had he survived leukemia however my peridot stone ring well the setting can't maintain holding the stone in. My only wish is that this store was open longer hours 7 days a week. I LOVE THIS STORE! highly informed people that let you browse at your comfort anything worth having for value over time...THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO FIND IT! If they don't have it they will make it they are OUTSTANDING!”
“I like to come in to look Betty is extremely nice and professional, doesn't get upset because I don't always buy and let's me shop around for all my jewelry needs! Great selection on all gold items and you get your money worth of diamonds and precious stones !”
“Jason was an absolute gentleman. Most pawnshops are total dirt bags, but this guy was the most professional righteous dude I've ever met. Jason is the man I wouldn't go to any other pawn shop ever again five stars times 1 million.”
“I’ve been to a few shops in the area and I can confidently say that this place beats the others by a landslide.They’re professional, transparent, and take their time to make sure that they give you the best value possible in exchange for your items.If you’re looking for a shop that will take care of you when you need it most then I recommend you consider stopping by this place.You won’t be disappointed.”
“I’ve gone here so many times and never wrote a review. I suck. They don’t. Always there when I need a short loan to get by, and quite often I end up buying something when I pay off the loan too!”
