Kid with glasses shouldn't handle fire arms doesn't know how to release a slide tugged on a brand new firearm with all his might then dropped it down causing scuffs. Lowell offer on a pistol only shot 2 mags through so I left with my damaged firearm regret even letting him touch it.

STAY AWAY! They are scammers and thieves, Please don't pawn or loan anything here, when you come back for your items they would not have it! they stole our valuable jewelry didn't even have a good excuse as to why it was lost but they know it was worth a lot so they scammed us and stole it. They were caught and we always paid on time! The customer service is horrible! Just a bunch of scammer they will steal your items. STAY AWAY.

Oaks pawn has always been the best for all my needs. I've left a few items in their possession over what should have been beyond the limit lol and they always were soooo nice to me and never made me feel like it was a problem. They always always always worked with me with what I had on hand as well. I recommend oaks pawn south for not only all your needs, but the security feeling that they for sure 1000% handle your items with care while in their possession.
