  A true shining example of what is actively killing off a dying industry. Been in here a few times but a few days ago was the last straw for me personally. The pawn shops in this town have lost all that class and charm that they used to have. In the age of the internet where people can sell their own possessions with ease these shops are the last remanence of a dying age. I usually love supporting local businesses but after dealing with the shops in this area it's become perfectly clear why only the most greedy, shady cockroaches are left in the wasteland of what used to be a booming thriving industry killed off by the likes of Facebook and Craigslist... If you don't have stolen tools or electronics and a serious drug problem they can exploit for a quick buck don't bother. If you don't feel of desperation or exploitablility don't bother, and if you aren't looking for cheap stolen tools/laptops that will likely end up with you being arrested for possession of stolen property don't bother. Seriously, you are waiting your time. Pawn shops used to be the shining example of true variety stores, if you wanted to get lost for hours in random stuff you never knew you wanted they were absolutely amazing, but these days it's nothing more than stolen tools and laptops worth $600+ that they paid some poor desperate sap $30 for. It's sad to see such an awesome industry torn apart by greed and desperation.. destroyed by online selling where people could actually get a fair price that shops like these refused to offer even a fraction of, with the only shops left being the absolute most shady and greed driven hollow shells of their former selves only interested in buying the main targeted items of cleptomaniacs and drug addicts. Id honestly suggest that no one bother going into these shops, and stick with what killed this industry in the first place, online markets. Because all that is left is overpriced tools and old game consoles. They lack any sense of variety or character anymore, and instead rely on stolen tools to keep their drowning heads above the water. You WILL be disappointed if you go into this shop and try and deal with these vultures. And this is coming from someone who has given these shops dozens of chances, and has finally hit the last straw and spent a few days trying to put into words, just how disgustingly dissatisfied they are with the current state of this industry that will no doubt be dead in 5 years time.

  Response from the owner

  Hey Sicco, we at Pawn Inc feel like we are setting an example in the pawn industry, and we have a great rapport with the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene Police Departments. If you have a grievance with Pawn Inc. in particular, we would love an opportunity to solve that. Feel free to ask for Chris or Tony anytime and we would be happy to discuss any issues or concerns you might have, but it sounds like you take issue with industry as a whole. We've been in the business over 26yrs and have countless happy customers...most of them would take issue with you labeling them all drug addicts and thieves.
