I am absolutely blown away by the quality of this Original Grain Grainmaster Chronograph watch. On the Original Grains website is retails for $549.00. I bought it from you for $139.00. It looks brand new. It was also delivered a day early. Thank you PB Pawn!!

Loans, selling, and BUYING this is a great little nugget to have on your pawn shop Google maps list.. Sold gold jewelry and was able to score silver/ gold bullion at super fair rates. The guys were knowledgeable and were extremely open to discuss the game of bullion. WILL BE BACK!

It was truly a pleasure doing business with you folks. Not all pawn shops can be trusted like I felt comfortable trusting you, and that is what I found to be the most satisfying part of my experience. You obviously treated my speaker with care and I never felt there was any reason to worry that you would not. Thank you for being the kind of people who I feel I can do business with and be confident that, start to finish, everything will be handled professionally and courteously.Regards,Morris Ritchie

I shop here often for tools, they always have quality merchandise. Its a great place to find a good deal on anything from tools to jewelry, electronics and more. Also they offer layaway which is pretty cool! 😎

My wife and I have come to Alex and his family for fine jewelry and watches for 20 years. Even now, living on the East coast, we still trust their quality, expertise, and reliability above all others. With PB Pawn and Jewelry, doing business remotely produces the same excellent results we came to expect when we lived in San Diego. For quality of gem stones, watches, and creative fine jewelry designs, no one else comes close.

I can see now why this is the #1 rated pawn shop in San Diego! Hands-down the most genuine people. Run by two brothers who were taught by their father how to examine find jewelry. They are honest and so very helpful! I will never go to anyone else.

A very honest and fair pawnshop. They have taken care of me 4 or 5 times no issues at all. Very quick and seamless process. Fair prices and helpful staff. Exactly where you wanna go when you need the service. Would recommend to anyone who needs extra cash in these tough times and doesnt know who to trust. They will take care of you and your pawned items.

I gave 4⭐, when they def deserve 5⭐ Been there quite a bit & everytime the guys r welcoming & actually remembered me, great prices, honest to (which is pretty rare @ most shops) Y now a 4⭐ is bc I had a very rude & unpleasant exp. w/a employee who I didnt no. On a Sunday I had called @ 445 to make sure they where there & he said if I get there b4 5 bc thats when they close the doors... I arrived 458 & he came to closed the doors & started locking them. I said pls its not 5 yet (I was in a bad spot needing cash for gas) & he was sooooo rude, shrugging his shoulders saying not my problem, Ive closed the doors and not opening them ). While I begged hoping he wld help me real quick but just rudely told me how he didnt care nor his problem. That really upset me when theyve made $ from me on multiple occasions too... besides that rude man every other person there is great and welcoming and I always have a great time when Ive gone in.

Hands down the most professional, organized and clean pawn shop that I have ever done business with. I see the same friendly and professional staff each time I go in. This makes me rest assured that my property is safe and in good hands. There is never an issue locating my merchandise and it is returned to me in a clean organized fashion, free from dust, scratches and dents like I have experienced in other pawn shops. Very fortunate to have found this business. I recommend them 100%!

Awesome pawn shop. Super nice people to deal with. Doesnt have sleazy feel so many pawn shops have. Id give it 6 stars if I could. One of the best best shops Ive ever pawned and got my stuff and bought back from. If you need to pawn something, deal with these guys, you get treated with respect and leave with your dignity. Only pawn shop in SD I will want to deal with in the future. Nice family run business that treats the customers like good. 5 stars +.. Good folks and good vibe. Thanks PB pawn...

Amazing customer service and products by this family owned and operated place. These guys take pride on what they do and have great knowledge of the products they sell. I buy my Jewelery, guitars, electronics and I was never disappointed. Totally recommend them

With sudden death in my family on saturday as well as Covid problems I hesitantly came in on Sunday Alan was a gentleman with seemingly many years experience and gave me what I felt was an honest opinion on large diamond engagement ring which I truly appreciate. His son David was also working andI got the sense it is a professional AND family buissines with both HONOR and INTEGRITY which are everyday getting harder to find!( I personally dont trust buisineses that are ONLY professional(all about profit) or ONLY family(lack order/checks and balances).Within 20 mins I gained what I saw David had for the owner Alan- RESPECT. 5 mins after that I walked out with cash in hand, understanding contract/ fees and entrusting not a piece but a symbol of hopes and a dream to a professional family/ honorable name.(Fyi. I swear I dont know these people till today. Nor am I a paid actor:) now more than ever we need to recognize and support honor and ethics- THATS HOW we make us great again. (P.s. this is not fake news) cheers

My experience at PB Pawn & Jewelry was great. The environment felt comfortable and safe and the people working here treated me with respect.

I wanted to make a deal on a nice diamond for my engagement band so i came here and spoke with Alan. Alan was super polite and helpful- and made me a screaming deal. I had cash so we made a quick transaction- THEN: Alan offered to set the diamond for me for free!!! I think his son (maybe) works the counter too. Everyone is great.Dont go anywhere else! These people are the best!

Review №26

I must say that Ive been dealing with Alex and his family for years and these people here always treat me with respect and integrity if you have not experienced Alex and his family? Then your in for a real treat. So whether you are buying something or just getting a loan. You can expect hassle free shopping as well as their knowledge of products. Tell them johnny mustang sentbyou.

Review №29

The fellas are really knowledgeable and reasonable. They pay a fair price on items to sell and price their own inventory, which is impressive as well (why does EVERY pawn shop have at least one Epiphone Les Paul in it? Well, the one on their wall is in better shape than any Ive seen in a pawn shop!), is also reasonably priced. Best pawn shop in the county.

I recently sold a Diamond ring to PB Pawn & Jewelry.The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about diamonds.Before going to their store I had gone to several other places in San Diego to check the price.PB Pawn & Jewelry was very fair in their valuation of my ring.And the price they offered me was more then the other stores I had gone to.I felt they were very honest, & trustworthy. Also, they have alot of other great items in their store as I looked around.Definitely will go back in the future.And I highly recommend PB Pawn & Jewelry to everyone !

The staff was very professional and accommodating to all my questions and needs. Dont let the name fool you, its clean, organized and It feels more like a nice store rather than a pawn shop. I dont usually write reviews but PB Pawn & Jewelry deserves 5 stars, go check them out. Thanks Guys!

Review №43

DEFINITELY DO NOT GO HERE!!!This place had a nice feel, and seemed kind of fancy, so I decided to go to them to try and sell my citizens eco-drive watch. This is a very nice watch, in immaculate condition, that costs around $400 new. Upon showing the lady at the counter, she looks up what its selling for and proceeds to offer $35 for the watch!! She claimed that its selling for $100 and tgey usually only offer 30% if what it sells for. I asked her to show me, and she refused. I searched online myself and found 1 shady-looking eBay offer for $150, all others are around or between 220 and 320 for a used watch of the exact same make and model. So I took it to another local pawn shop (which I wont name, so people dont think Im affiliated with them), and they offered me $100. They are clearly trying to rip you off here. I repeat, DEFINITELY DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I looked around at some electronics and video games. Everything was way overpriced, much cheaper to buy online, gamestop, or even new at walmart on some items, especially the game consoles.
