This was am amazing place to shop. I bought jewelry for my little lady and an amazing clock for myself. The gentlemen who helped me were very knowledgeable and friendly. They never tried to rush me, answered all my questions. I have never felt more comfortable shopping anywhere. We are planning another trip to South Dakota and will definitely be shopping there again. They are definitely a five star place to shop and visit. Great job Presidential Pawn!!!

I can not say enough great things about Presidential Pawn. First is how beautiful this store is, so clean and well lit, very inviting. Second is the truly incredible selection of antique jewelry! I have traveled the western US extensively and this is by fare the best pawn shop with the biggest selection that I have ever come across... and did I mention the really fair prices?? This is one pawn shop I make sure to visit anytime I am near Rapid City. Definitely thankful to have found this gem!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE AND EVERYONE! My grandsons are PASSIONATE airsoft gun enthusiasts now - WIlly is responsible for introducing, informing, and selling them on this sport. I go primarily looking for paper and coin currencies and original local Native artwork. Great finds, great deals, great customer service, and I always leave happy. Thank you to all of you (owner, management, and staff) for all that you do for your customers. See you again soon. Darlene

DO NOT MISS THIS AMAZING PLACE ! These guys have some of the most incredible historic items - Michael Jacksons sequin glove, the original negatives from JFKs funeral, NASA Apollo mission negatives, a V2 rocket gyroscope, Pawnzi the worlds smallest dog, and a stack more. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and made it a most memorable experience.

Best nicest pawn shop Ive ever been to with great displays of local and national historical items and explanations of how the store ended up with these too. Yes Michael Jacksons glove is there.

This place is awesome! I have had my watches worked on before. The employee Jason Park was great! He educated me on different watches and grades. He helped me understand what my warranty covered on my two watches! I cant say enough great things about this place. I will continue to give my business to this local company.

Staff were helpful and friendly, not pushy. Purchased a firearm, they spoke to me (not over me to my husband) and did all paperwork by the book. Interesting relics to look at too.

I stopped in this past week looking for old Black Hills Gold, did not disappoint!! I bought two large rings(31 grams each) they have a 50% off everything in the store sale going on. Definitely worth a look!

All pawn shops should be like this. Certainly beyond what you would normally expect. Really high quality and unique stuff....always fun ducking in there. Owners and staff are always amazing.

Great place to shop. Always have a good variety of items available at reasonable prices. Parts of the store are set up like a museum inviting guests to learn about the Black Hills area.

Jason treated me like we were old friends. It was my first time to the store. He took time to look at everything I brought. I left a happy customer. I will for sure drive 130 miles to do business at Presidential Pawn.

This is the absolute BEST place in town. Wonderfully helpful, great FAIR prices, and FUN to deal with. We have purchased an antique wedding band to go with a modern ring that gets many compliments and is one of a kind. We have also purchased a diamond for a purity ring from them. Always satisfied, and will be a loyal customer. Thanks guys!

I have been going to Presidential Pawn for many years. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. I can always find a good deal and the staff is always very knowledgeable and they will go the extra mile to ensure I have the items I need. On a recent visit Cory spent a substantial amount of time to help me with a special order and after receiving my order I cannot be more happy with my experience. If you are in the market for jewelry, guns, coins, or something else give these guys a shot first. They will not disappoint you.

I might live a sheltered life but this is the best pawn shop I have ever visited. Super friendly and helpful staff. Elegant presentation. Good deals can be made. I was shocked when I walked in the door honestly. I expected the typical rough staff and run down dirty unorganized pawn shop look that so many of these shops exhibit. This place is totally different. Fantastic!!

Some of the most interesting things to see in Rapid city. They even sell the worlds rarest chocolate! Everyone there is super nice and knowledgeable. I even got a battery for my watch while we looked and the kiddos got some video games they were looking for. What a perfect experience!

My husband and I have been purchasing anything from jewelry to collectibles from the Clock Shop as well as the Pawn shop for the past 6-7 years. I cant express enough how amazing the staff is. Ron was especially helpful with every purchase or inquiry we had. He was very knowledgeable of the history of items and very professional. Ive had wonderful experiences with every staff member.... Chris, Trevor, Leif, Grant, Jason and Lisa! I highly recommend if you are looking for collectibles, jewelry, or just want to learn new things about history to stop by! I also love the fact that when a customer walks in the door you are attended to immediately without the pressure or pushiness like my past experiences with sales people. I always feel good when I leave knowing that they value my business and want to make everyone feel valued as a customer! I dont trust anyone more than I do these guys! Thanks so much for all you guys do!

The staff were awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly folks working there and they had a lot of cool stuff. Ask about the astronaut artifacts, it is very interesting! If youre in the area this is one place you definitely should visit.

Great jewelry selection!!! Huge selection of Black Hills Gold Rings (that my wife wanted and I bought) to diamond rings, necklaces, and turquoise. As she looked at that, I went over and looked at the vast gun collection! Yep, I spent some time there! They also have a Clock Shop and free PAWNSEUM. Largest undisputed gold nugget in existence found in the black hills, Friendship 7 lens that John Glenn looked at earth through, to the Worlds smallest dog?....... Great place, with fun engaged staff! Awesome experience!

Our experience at Presidential Pawn was awesome! We walked in and instantly had a group of guys greeting us. We came in because we heard about a great deal on guns. Unfortunately, the last gun on sale had been sold, but they were able to work out the same deal with us. We highly recommend doing business with them!

I have purchased a new pistol and used shotgun here over the last 6 months. I am very satisfied overall, great customer service and professional atmosphere. I definitely will be shopping here again, plus they have a huge selection to pick from. If I had to pick an area for improvement for this business, it would be a more solid, interactive website. Would be nice to be able to navigate the products in stock, online. But like I said, they follow thru with helping the customers, awesome place!!

I wanted some information on a diamond ring and was promptly greeted and attended by a gentleman named Cory. He was the most informative of everyone I encountered today, after visiting three local jewelery stores. He was also very friendly and down to earth. Also worth noting, their collection of jewelry is sizable and you can tell they have a high standard for the quality and style of items they buy and sell. I’ll definitely be returning to shop there in the future.

They are moving the store around its looking good though. I think it will be nice when its finished. I did stop in for a battery change. The price is now $5 bucks. They still have very good customer service. Thank you for that.

Review №28

We usually enjoy this place. Today we went looking for a guitar. We also had some old WWII currency we wanted someone to look at. The man who approached us said he worked hourly and it was not worth his time to look at every currency that walked in the door? He was rude and unprofessional. We spent our money elsewhere today.

Went in to value some gold, they were only willing to give 66% of what the gold was worth, they then become very rude after I told them that was way to low. I proceeded to gather my things and leave.

Review №37

Pretty large store for a downtown location and they carry a wide variety of items within, I always find they have new collectibles, military surplus firearms or even massive telescopes each time I visit, Now expect to pay every penny of the upper end prices on these items... You arent going to find any bargains here but you probably arent going to find that rare collectable item anywhere else in town either.They have skilled pawn brokers so expect to get beat up a little on pricing if you try to sell them anything but I really cant fault them for this.. Thats their job after all and theyre good at it.If youre driving through downtown its worth a stop to see what new they have, expect to part with your money.

I have been going to presidential pawn for years. These guys are awesome. The jewelry is always nicely polished and the prices are great. They have a great selection of guns and seem to have lower prices than anyone else in town. Last but not least the employees are always nice and professional. Definately recommend next time youre downtown.

Review №43

Their gun safety is appalling to say the least. Brought a used gun in the other day to sell and while the guy was appraising it, at one point he had the barrel pointed directly at my face. Im glad I quadruple checked it was fully unloaded before leaving the house because he also never once checked to see if it was loaded or not. He broke 2 of the most basic gun safety rules there are, all in about 1.5 minutes. On the plus side, he met me halfway and paid exactly what I was wanting for it after asking me 4 times if I wanted to trade it towards another gun instead of selling it, the 4th time recommending I trade it towards an AR15. I told him my intentions the second I walked in the store but he seemed to be in disbelief that I just plain wanted to sell it.

Make sure to stop by when youre visiting Rapid City! Sell that old watch, buy a guitar or visit the awesome Pawnseum. Some silly things (MJ glove, Elvis letters) but some really neat, relevant, history items (largest, undisputed gold nugget found in the Black Hills, John Glenns periscope, Deadwood Dicks watch)... and theyre for sale! Very friendly folks.

I was looking for a specific item in their pawnseum which they did not have at the moment . I left my name and number in case they had it come in . I really didnt expect them to follow-up but to my surprise they called a week later with the item and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for . Great service guys I will be back.
