The main reason that they are my favorite is because they are the only pawn shop around. Once you get used to their darkish sarcasm, you tend to like the place. You first have to realize that they deal with many different personalities on a moment by moment basis. Many that are falling on hard times. They have to keep their cards close to their chests. I think that their rates are fare and they mail you a warning when your loan is going to be expiring. You can get by just paying your interest and extending it.
