Adelanto Pawn Shop

As advertised, supposedly they «pay more» but I walked in with a nice excellent condition Canon DSLR expecting $ 120 and he offered me an insulting $ 60. While waiting for him to speak with me I looked at his inventory and he had the oldest most useless 18^th century obsolete cameras on display for sale. Mine had two lenses, a flash, a battery extension pack, LED video light and the Canon camera bag as well. He didnt even look online to check the avg selling price for a used camera like other shops do, he just imagined a price that he thought the camera was worth in HIS mind. I declined his lame offer, left and went to another pawn 5 mins away off E street that gave me $ 100 instead of $ 120 but wayyyy more close to what I expected. If you want to get a decent loan for your item seek elsewhere because this guy is greedy. Don’t waste the gas or time with this business.

I went into Adelanto pawn shop and I looked at various jewelery items that were displayed in a case. I asked to see something and the male salesperson told me «SURE, LET ME TAKE MY SHIRT OFF». I was not expecting to be treated in such an unprofessional and disrespectful manner. Why would I reward this type of offensive behavior? I chose to leave and not patronize this pawn shop!

I went to purchase a few items and all the staff was very friendly and professional… I recommend this place to anyone who wants to pawns their stuff for a good price or buy items at a low price.

This guy named david just lies to you all the time he is known yo steal items without warning he will work with you if he wants he is the biggest a. hole

Worst place ever. The main manager is a rude person and refuses to work with you when knowing your item was damaged on their behalf. Not recommended… Big disappointment

I went to buy a small bass amp. Sal and his manager were kind and professional towards me and the persons before me. I watched! When it was my turn, Sal came out to show me the amps. We negotiated a fair price. Now, I find that this is NOT a bass amp, so I am going back. I’ll let you know what happens!
This was nobody’s fault. Just the wrong type of amp. Stay «tuned»…
FINAL ANALYSIS:
David the manager and trusted sidekick Sal seem to be a good team. They were each sufficiently informed with regard to the product I intended to purchase. For whatever reason, I neglected to specify that I needed a BASS AMP.
Let it be known to all that I got a fantastic deal on a non-​bass amp (Squier) and excitedly skipped out of the store! When I returned, I was happy to see that these guys had not «forgotten» who I was within that short span of an hour.
I ended up with a Hartke BASS AMP in one hand and chicharrones in the other hand, from the carniceria next door (they have their own version of ATM service)!
All in all, Adelanto Pawn Shop was a good experience for me.
I had checked out another pawn shop on «The Strip» (Baseline) before meeting good ol’ Sal and his jefe. That place was at the corner of Arrowhead, Arrow Highway —something like that…
Well, over there the «help» was substantially more interested in his cell phone than my prospective purchase. That was not a good thing for me. Not totally bad though because the dude simply had no salesman skills. We can’t all be the sharpest knife in the drawer!
However, when he did look up at me I smiled at him and he smiled back before looking back to his cell phone. Perhaps he was smiling BECAUSE he was looking back to his phone!!!
If you need a practice bass amp, check Adelanto’s out. The amps are right at the front door so one need not go insane in the membrane sorting through the store for whatcha need.. Although, David and Sal may very likely eliminate that process for you because I get the impression they know what they have and don’t have.
CONCLUSION:
Not the neatest store on the planet, but a couple of the «neatest» guys. It’s a for-​profit business, I get that. However, I was satisfied with my «purchases». More the first than the second, but all good.
Decent product, decent service and they work with you to a degree on pricing until there was a mutual exchange of legal detriment: I had the right to spend my money elsewhere and they agreed to sell the amp for less than they perhaps could have.
Thanks also for the ink pens, David and Sal!
