I recently purchased a drumset from them, and one of the bass drums was broken, and I couldnt have known due to the fact that they wouldnt allow customers near their merchandise. The staff behind the counter spoke as if they were put on this earth to lay down a verbal black plague of vengeful fury unto me, which was much unappreciated. The younger gentleman smoked a cigarette behind the counter as he used foul language to explain that everything I thought was valueable was worthless. As i asked for estimates on old collections of my mothers jewelery they gave me 10% or less of original value, which was a disgrace since the jewelery was still in pristine condition. Negotitations arent possible as they threaten to not even purchase your items as negotiations are against their policy. Also, the store smells like moldy cheese. And as for Bernie (The Elderly Business Owner), I have never met a less caring, vile being. He epitomizes prowess in swift legal scams to the American people. He slowly trudges along the creaky floors of "Pawndingo", patroling the store looking for troublemaking hooligans, with a look on his face that grumbles, "I hate you, get out of here". His staffing choices are purely abissmal, summed up by a lack of knowledge or tolerance of the customer, paired up with unprecedented anger. My friend had an equally catastrophic experience with this ragged shack business. He was escorted out of the store, groped unpleasantly, as the store owner caught him fiddling with item on an eroded display shelf. The lady employee was the only one in the shop who suggested to lighten up on him and be careful. However, the men just proceeded like depressed cyborgs and pushed him out the front door. He was planning on purchasing the item, but the owner of this business made it known itd be a cold day in hell before the day customers disrespected his businesses principles.

I googled pawn shops using my zip code and pawndingo was one of 5 pawnshops that came up and when I saw that it was in totowa I was like theirs no way because I live in that town and I never seen it. This was a Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised that they were open. J went there and pawned a couple of things and the owner Bernie was very nice and was a pleasure to deal with. His staff are all very nice and professional. They actually give you a good amount on what your pawning or selling which was pretty surprising because other places dont. Other places Ive been to will give you no where near the amount that you should be getting. This place is not anything like other places that Ive been been to. Ive been to one in Paterson the name is Binson pawn shop on market st and when I tell you that two guys I dealt with were really nasty and professional at all Im not exaggerating at all and the place looked like it hasnt been cleaned for decades. The tickets they give you to hand back to them when you return are re used over and over. Pawndingo is very organized and clean, that alone says a lot about the establishment. I would never go to another pawn broker after going there. If you have not been to pawndingos and you looking to pawn, sell or even purchase something, I would highly suggest that you go to Totowa and check them out. Their open 7 days a week which is pretty awesome and youll definitely not find that with other places. You wont be disappointed I can promise you that.

Im not really one to take the time and write one of these reviews but Im also a big believer in giving credit where credit is due and these guys deserve a lot of credit ! The store itself has everything you need and everything you dont . The first time I went there was because I needed a TV which I got such a great deal on that Im constantly bragging to my friends what I paid for it when ever I turn it on . It took about 5 minutes to pick out and purchase but I was in the store for about an hour just looking and admiring all the neat stuff they had for sale from antique to modern just thinking how neat it would be to own a lot of it . The friendly out going personality of the owner and staff are 2nd to none. Im now a loyal customer that visits the store often . Ill even stop bye when I dont any money on me with no intention to buy anything just to see what neat stuff they got in since the last time Ive been there and to say hello to the awesome staff in that amazing store Pawndingo !

So I had purchased a laptop from them before, and everything was ok. The second time I try to purchase a laptop, all hell broke loose. I was trying to pay a fair price for a laptop and they were rude, well the owner was respectful. But one of his employees was a 20 something year old SCUM of the earth, incredibly disgusting in the way he handled himself, he was trying to justify selling a 7 year old laptop for $385, it was a Toshiba too! They clearly made a mistake in pricing, it was listed on ebay for $180-$140. Half the time that kid was watching previews of "walking dead" on T.V. and not even helping finalize the sale. So moral of the story is DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! unless you want to be treated like a piece of trash! You may or may not get a good deal, but you have to ask your self if it is worth it to have dirty, disgusting, grimy, (might I add smelly) and barely finished high school salesmen disrespect you!

"(MR 5 DAYS GRACE)"Hello, my is anthony. My experience with bernie and pawndingo have been absolutely wonderful. Bernie understands people hit rough patches and will loan you money when you need it first priority. He has a great selection in variety and his loan rates are incredibly fair,. When i pawn (not sell) my guitar equipment, he knows its handle with care , for example if your payment is due on the 25th, he gives you a 5 day grace period (30th) just in case you need those 5 days. I have had a personal bad experience with "Perfect Pawn" on rt23 with their "rape" loan interests and because i was almost one day late (and i called for one more day), the man was about to keep my stuff, so i send my mom while i was working. For novelty collectors i highly suggest just dropping by its two blocks off the RT46 ramp across the street from the huge car wash(their good too), parking in the back and lay away option.

Truly are the sniveling animals there stores infers. Led by an autistic behaving human bowling ball of a man, Im surprised the whole store hasnt been run into the dead of earth ( Not like anyone of them could run) I Asked for a few prices had them directing me to a shop downtown. The older tubby gentleman chastised me and bustled me along while i browsed quietly... maybe his feet hurt from his type 2 diabetes? He was laughing heartily at a crude remark made by some women who belonged on a casting couch for Jersey wildcats. Over the roar of there sadistic choking laughter I was served by a younger guy who looked like an overgrown 7th grader who never got the bangs died out in 2003 memo My friend also claimed he was assaulted by a worker? There was some dispute over him being groped... hes a person not a stress ball! P.S. Do I smell moldy cheese??
