“Really great experience. The gentleman who helped me today was very nice. He gave me a fair price for the items I went to sell. I didn't feel cheated or taken advantage of which is a feeling that I get at other pawn shops. Honestly great experience .”
“Rene was extremely helpful, was very understanding and helped me in record time. Anytime I have an emergency and need a no hassle loan, I can count on this spot!”
“I really enjoyed the customer service here and the quality items they have as well. I appreciate a pawnshop that has good quality inventory.
When I needed the money, they put me on a payment plan that was very easy and simple and I do not recommend anywhere else because I did the footwork and many ones out there are terrible.
And most of all stay away from the pawnshop next-door the old guy has a horrible attitude, and he will make you feel stereotyped and judged.”
“Best Pawn Shop I have ever used! Always professional and offer the best amounts on Pawn Loans or outright buys. Has an extensive and diverse selection of quality items in store. Anything from instruments to computers to jewelry and everything in between. I especially love their mobile app so I can keep an eye out for great deals without having to go onsite (which was great during the lockdowns). I have taken out multiple loans whenever I need a little extra money to get me to payday.
EDIT/UPDATE
Two years later, and my opinion has not changed other than to solidify my stance and view of “South Bay Jewelry & Loan”. Life has gotten, well a little lifey and due to some gnarly unforeseen circumstances (hospital stays, moves, divorce) I lost track of time and missed my due date. They would have been within their rights to sell my items. But thankfully they were willing to work with me and held off on taking ownership of my things. Love this place!!!”
“I came in today to pawn a few items and came to ask what i needed to borrow. Alona did exceed my expectations and delivered. I will be coming back for future pawns. Thank you!! ??”
“Thank you guys for the greatest customer service this is the best place to pawn gold and silver also great on instructing and demonstrating gun safety procedures when buying a weapon, I wish I can give 10 Stars ? because you guys rock ? thank you again ~Shaw~”
“Went in today to pick up my pawn, alona was super helpful and nice. I had forgot my recipe but she was able to help me and get me in and out ! Very good service!”
“Definitely MY go to spot for all jewelry needs. The BEST service by far. I have bought and pawn jewelry here and they always give you the best amount on your pawn. Trust me.”
“Love this spot. Very fair prices for pawned items and great customer service. I only came once and decided to come back a few times. Quick, easy, efficient, and fair.”
“I have make a few business deals with this pawn shop over the last 20 years and got a fair amount of cash for items laying around the place I live.
Once I received about 400 for gold items. They have a nice amount of items for sale as well. A lot of used merchandise for sale here as well as new packaged items behind the glass counter.
A place worth checking out ever so often because they usually update their selection from time to time.”
“I had a wonderful experience here. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to sell items. Very fair pricing and a one service. Vlad was an absolute pleasure and I will definitely return in the future. You’re in great hands here.”

“I came here after I had gotten two terrible quotes at different places nearby. I didn't want to sell at that point, I was demoralized, but I had to take my girl to work and I had no gas money. I gave up and decided to take anything at the next closest place, that's when I arrived here. I entered and was instantly nicely greeted and asked a couple of questions like why I wanted to sell which no other place had even bothered to ask, I explained my situation to him and he truly tried to understand, he had already given me a quote but right before I left the shop he gave me extra money and a two dollar bill for good luck I couldn't help leave his shop crying he had doubled the last quote I had received, he saved my Christmas Eve I called my mom crying there is still good people out there. I would recommend this place over any shop in the LBC! I'm telling you this is the place.”

“I had some unwanted jewelry looked around all the places in my area, a lot of them are gone. I found Southbay Coin. I was impressed by the reviews and decided to walk in. I was welcomed quickly by Bob and did not felt that awkward feeling when you walk into places like this not knowing what they are going to offer you. He gave me exactly what I asked for! I will recommend to everyone I know and will be a returning customer. Thank you Bob! You are fair and I can tell you care about your clients! I walked out super happy!”

“If you’re looking to buy gold for a great price with great service, go see Jesus! He helped me pick out a fine edition to my jewelry collection. Go check them out!”
“Never knew this place was here until today when I had to get a repair for my chain! I googled it and went. I was greeted by a young gentleman who was so courteous and so nice to me! Great customer service! It was sad that they could not repair my chain but what he did do was take the time to refer me to another location nearby that would be able to assist me with my repair! I will for sure keep them in mind if I ever need their services or would like to purchase anything from their store!”
“Whenever I have emergency when I need cash really quick. I take my computer to the big store pawnshop. And I always hope if Wil is there because he’s very knowledgeable and very nice. He even helped me with my computer. He’s a very nice man. Don’t take your stuff in if you don’t plan on getting it out if you wanna leave it leave it. or you need the cash for a couple of weeks. I give them five stars because they are very helpful. Thank you big store pawnshop.”
“Jo and cori made everything fast and simple need a loan in struggling times and they gave me exactly what I needed to get by and a little more. I will definitely be coming back here for future business.”
“Such an honest man! This guy does business the correct way, he is polite and extremely considerate of the customer, he sent me a reminder to pick up my chain and even allowed me to claim my gold after my due date. (Of course with a small fee) it is a cash only spot, his location is clean and organized I will be back if needed (:”
“Love this place , their customer service is great. You will be treated very fairly with anything you have trust me. Thank you guys for always being a helping hand in need! ??❤️”
“GREAT SERVICE AND EXCELLENT QUALITY JEWELRY- My Family and I are long time customers. My Grandfather used to buy jewels and tools there when I was younger. Now my daughter, my fiancée and myself buy jewelry from there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“This place is like home. I’ve been coming here for a long time now. Every time I come I get treated like family. I recently needed a $345 dollar loan. The item I brought was a small gold chain and junior told me he can do $315. I explained to him that I really needed that extra $30 so that I can pay my phone bill and a few other bills. I was gonna get overdraft fees and I can’t have that with everything else going on. He understood and felt my pain. He gave me the $345 like I asked. I don’t write reviews very often but I really wanted to thank Compton pawn shop and Junior personally. I really appreciate you guys. You always have my back in tough situations. This is for real!”

“I had an outstanding experience at Albert's Jewelry Loan Pawnshop! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, taking the time to answer all my questions. I was especially impressed by how they verified the authenticity of the two vintage SNES video games I wanted to buy. They even took them apart in front of me to show the original circuit boards! I can't recommend this place highly enough!”
“Always treated me nice. Before I moved from San Pedro to San Diego, I made several purchases from this place and was always given a fair deal.My first purchase was a Nintendo Switch at the beginning of last year. CIB for under $250.My second and third purchase were two Citizen watches. A Blue Angel's Skyhawk and a Blackhawk for $200.I made a couple other purchases several other items from this place and never felt like I got taken for a ride or ripped off.My favorite purchase was a "New" Nintendo 3DS (for those not in the know, "New" Nintendo 3DS is not referring to the condition but this is the actual name Nintendo gave to the version of the 3DS with the thumb stick or "nub" and larger screen). The one guy that works there with the Russian accent sold it to me for $120. At the time these were only maybe half a year old. He said the price was the price because it was dirty and no one showed interest in buying it.Up until last year some time, I believe that there were three people who work there. The only person I ever really did business with was the older Russian guy.My recommendation: talk to the Russian if you want a deal.”
“Great service! Great price!I bought a very nice Men's wedding band from them on OfferUp and I'm extremely happy with the ring and service. Thank you again!”
“Great place, the guy behind the counter helped me with a Technics turntable they had. I brought a record from home to test the unit and the guy went and grabbed some speakers for me to use with the unit. He was really patient and cool while I looked at everything to make sure it works.”
