Southside Pawn Shop in Paducah, Kentucky

Let me first say, I am ONLY giving 2 stars instead of 1 because a couple times I have been here, staff was friendly. Otherwise, save yourself a trip into here. I have been here maybe 8-10 times over the past few years, encountering different staff from time to time. Frankly, I do not know why I continue to go in and look over the inventory, as I have NEVER had a positive experience there, and after the last, will not go back! Prices are WAY too high on many items, some even higher than getting the item brand new somewhere else. I understand they will not quote you prices over the phone for items you wish to sell, but perhaps they should reconsider. My last trip, I had previously been told, with enthusiasm, over the phone they were interested in buying an item when I told the clerk what I had to sell. After debating, I brought it in and was treated like a second class citizen. First off, the man approached me more like I was there to steal something rather than sell. He proceeded to tell me that they do just fine bringing in their own inventory and they did not need mine. The tone was entirely different upon arrival than over the phone, which leads me to assume they will do most anything to get you in the store. Another time, they tried to sell me a lawnmower they could not get to crank. I have visited other pawn shops and had much better experiences. I would not waste your time here, as they give some of the lowest prices I have seen, and then charge higher prices than some places charge for a similar or same new item.

I have worked for Tyler and Carla for almost 3 years now. I enjoy every moment of being an employee for them. We are taught to encourage others during their hard times, and do our best to help each customer get the most out of their items, with leaving incentive for them to come back and pick up their item that is pawned. If you need a place to pawn or in the need of something. Come see us we will definitely do the best we can to help.

We bought a ness sewing machine and we are extremely happy with it. Aaron was extremely helpful and a genuine pleasure to visit with. The price was right on comparing it to the current market. We will definitely be back and thanks again to Aaron for the great help
