BEWARE, does NOT offer the best price in Bradenton. Selling my gold jewelry and a watch. Decided to check a couple of pawn shops. Mad Dog was the worst, their offer was $400 less.

Walked into the store looking to pawn my 2 12 JL audio speakers in the original box in mint condition with less than 2 years use…. With all that in mind it’s worth about $450.A heavyset man with glasses came out to my car to make sure that they worked, which they did, and when I told him the value of the speakers (because he clearly didn’t know) he immediately low-balled me and offered me $100.I would understand more so if I was trying to sell this item, but I wasn’t, and even then it would be a low-ball price. I made it VERY clear that I would be back for them and did not want to sell.Went to a pawn shop right across the street and they actually took the time to look up the value of my item, after seeing that it was a high priced item they were surprised that all I wanted was $200, and gave it to me without hesitation…

This pawn shop is really honest and reliable. I went to go in and sell some of my old flutes back from high school, and he gave me a fair price. When I went to go check the price with a music store, it was about the same. I would recommend going here because they won’t rip you off and are honest owners. Also, the shop has a dog. What more could you want?Thanks for not low balling me, definitely will be back if I ever need to sell anything!

Plenty of pawn shops around here! But are they a good pawn shop? I just started to spend my money 💰 with this pawn shop about a week ago and they seem to be fair about prices and have a nice store. I spent a good chunk of $$ on one of their many firearms and have to wait the 3 day period (which is no problem of course) so far they seem to be good, ill come back and finish the review after our deal is finalized

I just picked up a beast of a gaming rig from Mad Dog Pawn! Its a family owned business, local to boot! Fantastic sons and Pa was the best! They worked (lowered) with me on the price. 10/10 will buy from there again! Swing by when you are on Manatee Ave to scope out the deals... Or just to play with the dogs! Thanks again!

I have purchased items from you guys in past, you guys are awesome, however I do have a question about firearms, I was gifted 3 pistols 1 snub nose 38 and 2 ruger 9mm hand guns, however these guns are in Illinois so they need to find an FFL Dealer to ship those to another FFL dealer (You😃) in my state (Area) so my question is how much does the transfers cost?

I called looking for a Canon T3. The person that answered the phone knew what I was asking for, unlike the other 4 pawn shop I called earlier. I drove up there to find the camera to be in very good working condition. I was very happy with the price. I have nothing but good things to say about this company.

I have to say this is one of the best pawn places Ive ever been very friendly they gave me a very good deal on a generator. I saved over $400 compared to buying a new one. Considering this one was practically brand-new with no hours on it. I bought lots and lots of items on this place and have never been dissatisfied. The staff is phenomenal and friendly. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

Got a loan from this place. Was low balled. Months later I found out that both my SD Cards that were with my camera. Only one was returned to me. Had pictures on the other one, so pretty sure the owner took one of the SD cards to keep. Wouldn’t trust these guys. They are only our for your money. Go to a better pawn shop. There’s one off 41 that’s much better and gives a way better offer.

Im an older guy - as folks say, in 4th quarter. of the Life Game. Seems I waited that long for my first visit to a pawn shop. Believe me, if they were all as good as Mad Dog Pawn you wouldnt wait for the Two Minute Warning.Mad Dogs proprietor Joel was one of those rare people who show real dedication to helping while managing NOT to be smarmy. You all know the car-dealer type (what will it take for you to drive off in a new car today).Joel surprised me by knowing enough about what I wanted to be conversant in detail. And he helped make sure that my purchase had full value for me. That involved web searches for info from a User Manual, something he did on his own initiative. At no time while I was there did I feel pressure on my decision. Result: I got what I wanted at an attractive price and left feeling great.Heres a tip for old folks like me, and maybe for younger ones too. Call ahead to see if the item you want is in the shops inventory. Joel was kind enough to make sure he had what I was looking for.I saw many pawn shop options on the web. What luck that I started my search at Mad Dog.
