Mustang Jewelry & Pawn

This place is great and helped me out when I was in a jam at the first of the month (ie rent being due)!!
I had several wireless speakers ready to pawn for some money to make rent. I didn’t want my other half to realize what a bad month I’d had driving for UBER/​LYFT. We had just met and moved in together so it was a bit imperative that I make my part of rent. It can be tough driving for a living as you never know what sort of salary to expect month to month.
Don’t get me wrong I love my career as a rideshare driver but it can be frustrating especially with UBER when folks don’t tip the drivers like they should. Part of the issue there is UBER won’t install a tip feature on it’s app. As luck would have it, this particular month I had a lot of short rides with no tip despite my hilarious Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers/​Steely Dan impersonation with free bottled water to boot. LOL.
Anywhose, a few months back the first of the month came and after child support, student loans, car payment, DUI fine, etc, I found myself a little short on rent money. Needless to say, I didn’t want my better half to know b/​c this was only our 2^nd month living together (and actually knowing each other LOL). I was still trying my best to make a good impression, wanting to appear to be a competent self sufficient person with money for rent. So I snuck off to Mustang Jewelry and Pawn with my wireless speakers to help with my shortage and make rent.
Greg was awesome. Gave me a fair price. I made rent and my better half was none the wiser. I feel like every month will get a little better as I embark on my new career as driver for ride share. In fact I’ve seen my tips increase a bit as I’ve pulled back on the Michael McDonald impersonations. LOL.
It’s just tough for me b/​c I’ve always been a performer. I absolutely love improv so in a way each new ride is like a new chance to be on stage. I’m still learning but it’s nice to know Mustang Jewelry & Pawn is around the corner for months I fall short. I’ve got my grandmother’s wedding ring ready to pawn if need be. LOL!

I’ve been in here a couple of times. The first time, a few months ago, I came in to look at a MIM Fender Telecaster, but the price was way too high. (It’s still there now; it hasn’t sold).
Today, I saw an ad from this shop on Craigslist for an upright bass. The ad was updated yesterday, and this shop is close to where I live, so I drove down to take a look. When I asked about the bass, they said, «Yeah, man, we sold that last week.» When I asked them about the ad, they told me that they like to keep them up to drive traffic to the store, and people usually call first. Boo.

Greg was great! I brought in my sewing machine and a keyboard for a loan and was given an amazing price. I’m so happy. Most pawn places you feel like you’re getting gipped but this place is awesome.

Greg and Mike at Mustang Jewelry and Pawn are awesome! I needed a cheap drill to hang curtains in my new apartment and they helped me out with a great inexpensive drill and case to get the job done. Was also able to anchor my bookshelf (well, my dad anchored it with the drill and I put the books in the bookshelf, haha). Greg and Mike were so friendly and helpful, I will definitely be back! Browsed a bit and saw that they have beautiful jewelry and nice flat screens that I’d like to take look at. Not to mention a Spice Girls Barbie doll was hanging on the wall that I had to restrain myself from buying! I’m a child of the 90s for sure. Anyway, if you’re looking for a great place to buy slightly used electronics, jewelry, or power tools, Mustang is the place to go. :)

Was looking for a bike but they didn’t have what I needed but were very friendly, so I went back when my 30 GB Ipod crashed. I found out they dont make 30GBs anymore so I searched for a used one, hoping to spend less than $ 100. The sticker on the one they had said $ 89.99 but the guy offered it to me straight up w/​o haggling for $ 65, and then said since I had cash it would be $ 60. Going back in a few weeks to see if they have any good bikes!
