I can honestly say that all these reviews are absolutely spot on. When I went in there the walk around the head of Makita cordless drill used fair condition with one battery and the charger no case. He wanted $150 and would not budge on the price. I went back 3 days later to sell Makita impact cordless drill with a battery ,case and charger. In it was in almost new condition Barely Used. When I walked in the door and set it on the counter he said those arent worth anything Ill give you fifty bucks for it, so I said theres a gentleman you have the same drill except for mines impact and yours is just a regular drill and youre selling it for $150. He just walked away started mumbling under his breath to his other employees. You should really be reported to the Better Business Bureau because he is completely ripping people off. I have witnessed him buying stuff cash without taking ID or anything which obviously means it was a shady deal. But thats just my opinion.

I cant imagine how anyone could have a poor experience here. I went in for the first time yesterday as I was in need for some quick cash. After explaining my situation to Paul, who I believe is the owner, he went out of his way and did everything to help me get through a difficult time. While what I had didnt yield the amount I needed his offer was more than fair. Today I stopped in again and asked him for a favor which wasnt an ordinary request and he again helped me. Most places wouldnt even consider my offer but Paul, sympathetic to my situation, went out of his way to help me through this difficult time. I cant thank Paul or the people at Fat Pocket enough. Needless to say they have a customer for life. Additionally I would never hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. While in the shop, browsing their inventory I saw tons of great deals and cant wait to come back once I get paid. Thank you Fat Pocket for helping me through a difficult situation!

The gentleman who seemed to be the owner was very helpful and friendly. A friend from out of town was in a jam and looking for a very short term loan and he did everything he could to help out. Doesnt seem to be many pawn shops in this part of PA and of the few there are I cant imagine any being as friendly and helpful as this place. Any of the shops we spoke with or stopped into were not only not helpful, they were arrogant in demeanor and downright rude. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Their inventory was diverse in nature and price point was more than reasonable. I cannot say enough positive aspects of this locally owned business. Very appreciative of them!

I have dealt with this pawn shop on quite a few occasions making purchases. I find that they are not really negotiable on their prices. I just purchased a pair of sterling silver small generic hoop earrings and was charged $15 for them and the same pair of earrings I found at Walmart for 10. I asked if he would go down to 12 on the earrings and he said no it was 15 which did include tax. Also, I am looking to have a baguette replaced in my diamond ring and for a small baguette he said it could be anywhere from 20 up to $100 and I have had someone else, that replaced a small diamond for me, only charging 20 at most.

Um I came in and I got the worst vibe evil eyes from all three of the meat heads siting behind the desk and I dont know if thats because I was wearing my hat sideways but way to go Im being professional then when he took my item which I had bought fair and square off eBay a $450 hand carved out of zebrawood a they barely even looked at it before I threw it back in my face now Im sitting here and they have freezers falling over in front of their store so dont buy little white one sitting outside the front doors

I have no idea how/why these guys are still in business. Anything music gear related is marked up 30% more than the NEW COST. I dont even want to make them an offer with prices like that. Most of their items are marked up that much....at least the ones that I have knowledge in. Then when you try to sell, they shoot you a ridiculously low offer...that much I expected.

The staff is just rude and beyond ignorant. They talk about customers and the prices are not even close to being fair. For a business to treat customers the way they do is appalling. The only semi positive thing is Paul. Paul is willing to work with you but the younger guy is just rude and really has no business dealing with or talking to the general public.

I really like this store. They have a wide selection of everything you are looking for from jewelry, electronics, tools, instruments and guns. I have bought several fire arms, electronics and other stuff and they have treated me with respect and are knowledgeable and fair with their pricing. I recommend Fat Pocket Pawn to all my family and friends!

personally i was treated like a piece of crap here, i had a few authentic hockey and football jerseys i wanted to sell, the owner or worker at the time brushed me off and did not even want to look at what i had, they only wanted "bling" gold and jewlery. dont waste your time going here.

Amber Kisalita

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! They let someone obviously on drugs who openly advised them that he wanted to sell his grandmothers computer. They were talking bad about my fiance and myself the entire time. And LOWBALL offer and overpriced items. Never again will I return

Brooke Bauer

AWESOME! Such trust-worthy people. Always make great deals on things they have in the store. They always have awesome items there you can purchase. Give highest prices on gold & silver. Also have layaway. All around the best pawn shop I have ever been to!

Ashlee Youngberg

The guy with the red hair is just downright rude. And for no reason at all. I was very polite and he was just rude the whole time. Dont waste your time with them. They are overwhelmed and big babies.

Ive dealt with Paul and the crew at fat pockets many times whether I was buying or selling its always been a great experience. Ive always left happy. Its the only pawn shop I go to in the area

David Runco

Very terrible experience! They talk very bad about and to customers. These people are not at all fair. Dont waste Your Time here! Their are much better places, even in the same area.

This a not a real pawn shop, they do not offer loans. Staff is rude and lacks common knowledge. They also didnt seem to know how to use eBay to check market values.

People are cheap, offer a quarter of resale value, Make zero sense in their haggling and are just belittling whenever they have 0 knowledge
