Zak’s 24 Hour Pawn Shop

DO NOT TRUST these guys! They will say that they will hold your things and then they will sell them right from under you! Even after you have spoken with them multiple times, to confirm, that payment is on the way because you take care of your 90-​year-​old grandma 100 miles away. But They lie.
And they sell your things.
Seriously. I thought these guys were cool. I was so, so wrong.

I used these guys for their car title loan service which I was extremely happy with. I saw their pawn shop as well and they have lots of cool items. I inquired about a few of them and the guys were up front and honest. They told me which product had issues which were in great shape, etc.
If I needed to pawn something or maybe look around and get some cool gadgets I will definitely head back to their shop.

i went to alot pawnshops in area but nobody like them there fast and they pay top dollar awesome peopple thank you to juan his the best !!!

Every time I ask these guys to go a little above & beyond they go the extra mile. I don’t know a lot about Pawn Shops but I can’t imagine there being a friendlier Pawn Shop then Zak’s! Look no further!

I went to this pawn shop a few days ago to sell 47 ounces of silver and at first the guy told me he would give me $ 200 for it and then after some negotiation he told me $ 450. I was totally confused why offered me more then double, so i left. I soon went to another place that offered me $ 1100 .
Wow they really tried to scam be out of a ton of money that i really needed. Only desperate folk’s that have no time to investigate how much something is worth should go there. If you think your item is worth big bucks you should totally go to another place that will offer you more money.

If I could give negative stars I would. Scammers pretending to be experts. Claim to know jewelry and low-​balled me on a price when I was selling a ring. Then tried to act like experts. I had the certifications stating the color, carats and clarity. He says, «what about the inclusions?» I said I thought that was clarity and he says clarity is color. Then he saw the color listed and said they’re the same thing. Ha! Called S I 3 clarity S 13. The worst of all is when he pulled out a Rapaport Report on diamond prices and can’t read it, he tries to tell me the diamond I have is only worth $ 80 when his report is saying 800. According to them a 2ct Vvs2 diamond is only worth $ 200, but would cost you $ 20 G’s+ to buy anywhere.

I started receiving notification mailers from this business addressed to another person but using my address. I had never heard of this person before, so I called the business to ask them to remove my address from their database. I figured this was the polite thing to do to A) notify them that their messages weren’t being received by the right person; and B) save them the postage cost.
The person on the phone essentially told me there was nothing he could, that only the person who’s named could change the address. So I said that’s fine, but shouldn’t you want to find this person anyway? Can’t you just call them and get an updated address? To which he responded that they don’t collect phone numbers. Really? 2012? Sure maybe some people pawning stuff don’t have cell phones, but I’ve even seen more than a few homeless people in LA talking on mobiles. If you’re asking for address, you should be asking for an alternate contact method.
I mean, how do I know they didn’t purposefully enter the wrong address so the person’s deadline passes without notice? My point is… I may not be a customer, but that doesn’t mean I want to be receiving notices about someone else’s property.
The «oh well, there’s nothing I’m going to do for you» attitude from the shop pretty much sums it up.

The ONLY 24-​hour pawn shop in Hollywood. It gets 4 stars just for that. When you’re a loser and need money for drugs/​food… Zack is there for you, ready to take your valuables in exchange for cold hard cash. So, no matter if your breakfast is cooked up in a teaspoon or cooked on a stove… you can have that cash to buy your vein gravy and/​or eat-​hole supply in your filthy loser hands. Right now. Even at 3:58AM. C’mon… you’ll forget all about your grandmother’s watch after you’re higher then God rubbing your tummy in an airplane.
