A-1 Pawn & Bargain Center

Great selection of different items. Very negotiable and friendly. I was able to walk in and get help immediately. Found a nice float tube with some fins. I appreciate they gave me a great deal on the set and I'm ready to get out on the water and fish. We'll definitely return for more business.

Family-owned. Alaskan through-and-through, if you're new to Alaska they can give you pointers on hunting and fishing up here as well. Always fair and willing to negotiate. I'm a local contractor and I buy everything from them. If I bring it to work and it doesn't work, they replace it no questions asked. Reputation and experience, means a lot more to me than any paperwork warranty

I'm finally just posting. Pardon My Rant - But after multiple visits, simply because they're close, I give up & it's a long time coming!!! So, The older cool guy that seems to run this store with (I'm assuming) his very unenthused 20 something boys working for him puts off a very elitest vibe the moment you walk in. They offer no kind or helpful customer service what so ever. If they do grace you with taking your peasant garbage - They are going to offer you insultingly low offers for valuable items you likely cherish, wether for buy or loan. and if you're lucky to get an offer at all, they might offer something like they did me in this exampleone of a few I did with them, offering me only $20, for a $340 (retail price) BT Marley Speaker system, as I was offered Ina time of dire need. But most the time it's just nope - $0! ! I know how the pricing in these types of stores works. They dont give you but a quarter of the retail price if youre lucky typically but thats far from what I got on any trip there and every time I left with them.just looking down their noses at you like you're lowlifes, as you awkwardly and quietly leave in a cloud of shame for having to accept treatment like that. Having absolutely NO regard of consideration to what situation brought you to a store like theirs. Which quite frankly I dont proudly go to in times like that! Chances are youre there when you truly are having a life emergency!! They offer literal pennies to the dollarr, and are over priced on their resealable merchandise compared to other pawn shops. I do not recommend bringing them your business, wether buying OR selling, to these guys. They simply don't deserve what they have or appreciate their clients/community. I really recommended as business owners to remember where you come from/started and how you got that super cool pinky ring and sweet Affliction belly shirt. Because the attitude just reeks of a holier-than-thou bunch that I personally refuse to subject myself to when spending my hard-earned dollars, especially these days. Go to FAST Cash, they're way nicer, helpful and even possibly, humble folks that have earned my respect and repeat business. This is Just my experience. But take it for what it's worth. I'm very easy going and kind until you are disrespectful repeat offenders. Then I'll let the truth out about how you are. The truth always comes out!

This place has been in business for years! I always come back beacuse of the people regardless if something gets screwed up or not. Thats life. Accidents happen. These "people" are here as a business to make money. They work hard and are often hastled beyond belief. If they do not give you a offer its because they know what does or does not sell. Nothing againat you but they dont want something thats gonna cost more time and effort than worth. If it dont make dollars, it dont make sense. I will always recommend people to be open minded and hit these guys up. Life is a gamble after all. Pawn shops just are better educated on what to gamble on.
