  Customer service is below subpar. Very condescending. It could be possible they are very bias. Proceed at your own risk.

  **Review for 5 Mile Pawn – Jessup, MD** Rating: ★★★★★★★★★★½ (10.5/10) I’ve never pawned anything in my life before a month ago.... and I’ll admit I was sweating bullets as I pushed open the door of 5 Mile Pawn in Jessup. As a small-business owner who runs a lighting company, I occasionally have extra fixtures and rigs I’m not using....but the thought of walking into a pawn shop, not knowing a thing about how it works, had me about ready to turn around. From the moment I stepped up to the counter, though, all that anxiety melted away. There was a warm, confident woman greeting me, a middle-aged gentleman with decades of experience sizing up my gear, and a young guy who walked me through every step of the paperwork. None of that rushed, “you’re just another customer” vibe you get elsewhere. Instead, they treated me like a partner, to make you understand why in ballpoints: • They asked genuine questions about my lighting equipment and their condition. • They explained how the appraisal and loan process works....no confusing jargon, no hidden fees...in black and white • They even made a few professional suggestions on when it might be smarter to sell versus pawn and pay on things I’ve been to another pawn shop not too far from here...not saying any name, and I’ll never go back. At 5 Mile Pawn, I felt genuine respect for my time and my business. They already call me “the Light Guy” around the shop, which cracks me up....and somehow makes me feel like a regular, not a first-timer. If there were more than five stars, I’d give them ten....and a half. Whether you’re pawning tools, electronics, jewelry, or...like me....high-end lighting gear, you’ll be in excellent hands at 5 Mile Pawn. I wouldn’t walk through any other door in Jessup. That is not them. Happy customer!! Thank you, 5 Mile Pawn! —Mr. Porter, aka The Light Guy

  The own totally lied to me. He test my gold with a magnetic. I saw that the Gold didn't react. I know the piece I presented was 24kt gold given to my kids by their G-mom from India. People from India DO NOT buy fake gold. Its not the first time that guy lied to me. I live around the corner and over the 4 years they been open I've tried to do business with him 3 times and everytime he lied. I tried to sell a macbook in there and I asked him about it and he lied to me saying he couldn't accept it. Everytime i go in there that guy is a unfriendly jerk. I'm starting to believe that I got my reaction for other reason because i see alot of ppl that don' t look like me say that store is good to go. But they dont look like me . Ill never take a step back into that store again. The own is a jerk and I believe racist.
