"I've purchased many items from this location in the past, but I probably won't be returning after my experience today"
"NEVER BUYING FROM THIS PAWN SHOP AGAIN"
"Carlos and Cliff are excellent when it comes to cst service regarding TAKING your loan - but are horrible regarding securing your merchandise"
"Stopped to purchase a few firearms"
"I called the store and spoke to one of the ladies"
I've purchased many items from this location in the past, but I probably won't be returning after my experience today. After I completed a purchase for an item and signed the receipt, the worker who checked me out goes over to who I am assuming was a manager to ask him for a code or something (not sure why). He tells her that the price I already paid was wrong, and they were only doing that deal yesterday. He tells me the price was wrong, and they are going to take down all the incorrect pricing for those items. I had already paid and told him that. The item contractually is now mine as the purchase was completed. He said they would refund me and then put it back out for the right price. We argued for a bit and then said I could have the item as he wasn't going to deal with me. I understand pricing errors can occur and have had other pawnshops refuse to sell an item that is priced wrong, but I have NEVER had a pawn shop refuse to give me an item I already paid for. This should have been brought up prior to purchasing. My caution to others is you may pay for something, and they may refuse to hand over your item you now legally own due to an error on their part.
NEVER BUYING FROM THIS PAWN SHOP AGAIN. I went in earlier today to buy a Xbox One. The service was fast and the customer service was amazing but when I got home I found out the system I just purchased was broken. The system itself took 20-30 mins just to start up. It kept over heating and turning off. And when I finally got it to start up i attempted (on multiple controllers) to connect it to the system. The button to connect the system to the controllers was broken on the system….but it was at that moment I also realized the controller itself was broken and missing a back the back battery piece. The right target button was put on backwards… meaning the controller target button was broken before I even bought it. Then upon inspection I realized the system is rattling…. Something is broken inside of it…My fault for not checking this stuff before I left. But shame on the company for selling broken faulty equipment without even telling the customer it was broken in the first place. Had I known this information I WOULDVE NEVER BOUGHT THE SYSTEM.
Carlos and Cliff are excellent when it comes to cst service regarding TAKING your loan - but are horrible regarding securing your merchandise. I brought in my Audio Mixer and worked with them to bring the item out showcase that it works, including hooking the power supply up and then offered to put everything back into the box, which they then suggested, "No, we will handle everything." 6 months later I go to pick up my merchandise and the $80 power adapter is no where to be found, I try and honestly inquire is there a bin of adapaters/cords it could be in? They respond "Maybe, but we don't have the ability to bring those out to you." After all the extra money I paid in interest in good faith to this shop one would hope they would return the favor by attempting to locate my missing EXTREMELY specific power adaptor, that I can guarentee you is sitting around collecting dust in a bin somewhere. Don't trust these folks no matter how friendly and direct they might be, you are just another mark for them.
Stopped to purchase a few firearms. They have a good quantity of firearms. No customer service at all, one guy is standing at the jewelry counter marking down jewelry. Walk by him browsing the cases, and no acknowledgement at all! Go to the guns where another guy is staring at a computer, walk by him and the same outcome. I'm standing at the gun counter staring at them, trying to see if I could get any help. Neither one budges, I wanted to buy the hellion bullpup, HK pistol, and a couple revolvers. As I'm typing this review a couple and 2 other customers walk in and stand looking at them for help. They walk out as well, idk what happened to smartpawn but this one sucks!! Yes I have the money to buy the guns, not browsing. I worked as a manager for smartpawn years ago and they had values. Business Walking out the door constantly!
I called the store and spoke to one of the ladies. I was interested in one of the plasma cutter. Before I went I asked if I could try it before buying and the lady said, yes. Then, I went to pick it up and when I got there another lady took care of me. When she brought the machine I asked if I could try it. She said, yes go ahead. I thought she was joking then I asked her where was the outlet for that plug. Remember, this is a 220v machine. She points at the outlets by the counter. These outlets are 110v and then I asked for the compressor and she told me they didn’t have one. I was like, these people don’t know what they’re doing.... but I still bought the machine for $160. All it needed was some consumables.
I have been a customer for over 3 years now and that’s only thanks to Rob that has always been a help and has made a difference in my life as far as saving me when i’ve needed help and times her rough. He has the sweetest heart and always puts his customers first and understands the struggles we can face. He had even gone out of his way to reach out to me to help me and he is one of the ones that is there pretty much everyday. He is definitely management material. I can’t imagine how much better that place would be if he ran the place and was management!! Thank you Rob for all you do! Linda...
Great staff, fair prices, offer you a decent loan value on your goods. I've been a frequent pawner the last few years after losing my job and they've helped out during that bind. Unlike some pawn stores who will forfeit your property if you miss a interest payment. I've called in and asked for a few extra days and they've always accommodated me. It's an awful feeling having to pawn your possessions, even worse to lose them. I do business with them with confidence. And sadly, Cliff now recognizes me when I walk in. Lol.. Great customer service. Thanks y'all.
I can't even begin to tell you what great people the guys and gals at National Pawn & Jewelry are. I had to pawn my bicycle to eat a few months ago and they have been wonderful in being flexible, but also being very considerate because they knew how passionate I was about my bike . They could've taken my bike and made a lot money on it but thankfully they didn't. Pawn shops are generally not good experiences, but these guys are great and I HIGHLY recommend them for good prices and moreso for their great customer service !
I’ve had to visit this place a few times seeking financial relief! Of course, I wasn’t at my best on those such occasions, am extremely grateful for the service I received. I was assisted by Lorena and can say with confidence she would greet everyone with a smile. It’s important, to me, that businesses that help us in these instances handle me with care-they did. Thank you to your team as they have all been courteous, it’s appreciated!
This place I happened to find by luck. The employees are so friendly and helpful it's so nice. They are very patient, have a great attitude and seem to be happy to help and be there. From the receipt the employee that helped me was named Joe. He was so friendly and didnt mind answering my many questions. They have very nice items in the store. And sales!!! Amazing sales!!! I highly suggest checking this awesome place out. Huge variety.
Life throws us curveballs constantly, for me at least I know when I'm thrown a financial curve ball that Carlos M. And his AMAZING staff will come to my rescue! Time and time again they have given me the best deals for my items from jewelry and tools to my Taylor guitar. I know my items will be taken care of and safe until I can get them back home. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LIFE SUPPORT NATIONAL PAWN AND JEWELRY! Vanessa P. ;-)
I wish it was possible to give zero stars. I’ve used this pawn shop for some time. I put an item on layaway. Turns out I didn’t need the item. So even though it’s “written” somewhere I was never told of a 10% restock fee. I put 100$ down and they took 10% of the entire product so I get 33$ back. That’s robbery no matter how you look at it. I will do my best to throw shade on this store every chance I get and on every platform.
I purchased a laptop computer from here. I couldn't be happier with a deal that I got and the service I received. the laptop is an almost brand new condition and works flawlessly. Lorena was a sweetheart and was able to give me some good insight as to some guitars that they currently carry, which, I am also interested in. I look forward to seeing Lorena soon, and purchasing my next guitar from them.
I Didn’t get what I was owed for a pristine, and in tact Coach purse. I did not receive the ticket from the employee who was purposely trying to take advantage of my ignorance by distracting conversation. I was not impressed with the customer service or the end result. My experience overall was tedious and traumatic! I would not recommend anyone to this place.
The last few months have been hard on me financially. This was my first time here and I know where to go if I need some cash. Maddie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so friendly and just her conversing with me made my awful day much better. It's hard these days to find people who care and give you wonderful customer service. Thank you Maddie!
I went in with a friend an she pawned an item as Cliff was talking to her ,he asked if he could help me I was in need of a watch he showed me the case with watches an was more then helpful he made me a great deal on a watch an I walked away telling the time.I was very pleased with my visit to this pawn shop will return again thank you Cliff
Honesty from the start about the cost and respectful. I bought an hp workstation and it came as described. Only reason I gave the store 4 stars is that it’s unrealistic to say there wasn’t anything that could’ve been improved but overall I was very satisfied with my purchase and I would buy and sell with them again in the future.
Best place to go if your trying to get actual help! I've been to a few pawn shops but once I found this one I've never been to any other one! Honest nice people straight forward in and out like a fast food place! And ooh yeah their firearm selection is crazy right now anything you need! Go check them out I highly recommend!!!!
I enjoy coming to this National Pawn because the staff is always eager to help. I had the pleasure to interact with Cliff on my last visit and left your store feeling great. He not only was courteous and friendly, but extremely professional and knowledgeable. He is the reason why I continue to come back !!!
By far the most reasonable on prices and the employees are very helpful and attentive. I highly recommend Smart Pawn on William Cannon and Congress over any of the local corporate establishments. Go to Ez Pawn if you prefer rude service while getting your eyes poked out by blood suckers. …
I have bought many things here and have appreciated the low prices and high quality. I have sold several things, especially jewelry, and am satisfied I was always offered the highest possible price, exceeding my expectations. The customer service is professional yet warm and welcoming. Cliff is the best!
Amazing people. Top dollar. Lots of products. Monthly sales. I've been using their service for years. Mainly cuz they really care. So, I know my belongings are safe. I give em five stars cuz they always are spot on. No, I don't work for em. NP is just that good. In a world full of shyte, they deserve it.
Outstanding service and deals. Paige is Phenomenal!! any time I come to this pawnshop I deal with her directly she’s professional, knowledgeable and funny :) I’ll go out of my way to drive to any location she may be working at, just to buy from from her . I always receive top notch customer service
Amazing customer service. Cliff is outstanding. I don't think anyone could exceed their service & they do everything they can to get you what you need. I would HIGHLY recommend them. When you leave, you feel good because you know they are great! The experience could not have been better!!
Just sold several pieces of jewelry I haven’t worn in ages; got a very fair price and the process was very quick and easy. They are polite and professional, and I appreciated getting some cash on hand! Going to look through my jewelry box and see what else I can part with and go back!
These 5 stars go to pawn broker MG1 he went that extra mile to help me out. Excellent customer service acknowledged me when I walked we walked in unfortunately I can not say the same for Assistant Manager not even a hello or eye contact even so that I was in front of him,
Carlos was very nice and helpful with the process. Quick and easy, and he worked on getting me the best deal possible for what I needed. They have a safe and friendly environment, which was a relief because I was a bit nervous about going in by myself. Thank you!
Came in to sell some electronics I never use anymore. Super quick and fair pricing. Employees were super personable and to the point. Honestly wouldn’t even bother with the other pawn shops in the area. Come here if you’re tired of getting ripped off lol
The entire crew there is the best I’ve ever dealt with. Maddie , Ruben , Chris , Paige & my favorite Cliff! They are all helpful , they call Me they see something I might like ...they always take such good care of me. I go look no where else.
Brought a camera in to sell and was immediately greeted by Micheal. He was very helpful, very friendly and was knowledgeable about everything we talked about. He didn’t push products like most others do which was nice. Definitely recommend!
When I moved from 78741 area to 78744 area I only deal with this Pawn Shop. The courteous staff here have always been fair with me. And I have always got a deal on the merchandise I purchased here. A great place to do business!
I have been shopping at Smart Pawn for the past few years and everything I've bought has been high quality and well priced. So much thanks to Maddie for how helpful she is in finding me exactly what I'm looking for. You rock!

Great experience! I sold jewelery that I didn't know the value of and Cliff gave me the best deal possible! He could have said anything, but he weighed and researched and made sure he knew the true value! Thanks Cliff!
People are nice and helpful I have bought lots of things from cliff he’s is a great employee I rwill keep going back to National pawn on William Cannon ANS south frost I would definitely go AGAIN …
Yes I absolutely love this place I will always return great atmosphere and great service I wish everyone would practice this kind of customer service and they always go abouve and beyond to please the customer Thanks.
Great customer service. When we found the prefect ring they let us use the loop to look at it & the diamond tester. Negotiation was totally fair. We left with the ring boxed up nicely. Thanks! We will be back.
Have been here twice to sell some old video games and jewelry now. Both times the service was quick and friendly. Fair offers given both times, definitely will be back if I need to sell some more of my stuff.
If you want great customer service this is the place to go to. Michael and Paige have great customer service and both have great attitudes both are very friendly and will help you. Thanks guys!!!!
Horrible asked to see a chain & they had place the wrong tag on it & she just snatched the tag and said they priced it wrong ! And went to help somebody else DONT BUY FROM HERE HORRIBLE STAY AWAY
Ruben, Paige, and Mattie are always a pleasure to see. They are helpful, positive, and their customer service is outstanding. Don’t need another pawn shop with them around. Highly recommend.
Outstanding job in-service I was in and out in no time at all. The girls did a wonderful job helping me as usual. Thank you buckeyes for keeping us safe and reminding us to wear our mask.
They have really nice guitar selections, and they helped me pick the right one. they were also very friendly, they played music for us and showed us inventory. very patient and respectful
Second time coming in all the time that your looking at an item that is on sale they yank the tag before showing you the item so you can pay full price!!! Place is trash and a scam
Amazing shop!!! Cliff was great. Helped us with the loan that we needed. The store was clean and easy to shop. They even have layaway. If you are in need this is the store to go to
The atmosphere in this place is amazing!!! Good vibes and awesome people that are super fair. Paige was amazing. Please go and take care of these guys. They deserve good business.
I always come whenever I want the best customer service. The team members are amazing and courteous! P.S. If you have the joy of talking to Maddie, then you are truly blessed ❤️
Staff was very welcoming and professional, it is very clean and tidied up. Helped me out with the items I wanted to sell. Overall, one of the better pawn shops I have been to.
Great experience at National, went to several pawn shops to sell some high end watches. Cliff and his team gave me the best offer and were super nice. Highly recommend them!
Very friendly staff and welcoming. They really do get u the most for ur items regardless of a loan or sale they truly wanna help u out. Thanks Ruben and Paige!!!! …
I go to this store two times a year when traveling thru. Always get a good deal with great service. Not sure of the names who work there but always helpful and friendly.
Super friendly staff they went above and beyond to find what I was looking for. From the online communication, to the time I walked into the store I was treated awesome.
Paige is Always so Amazing & Helpful to me with awesome customer service! I will continue to see her for the best products and pricing ! Thank you Paige Serina Trujillo

Carlos is the manager here and this place is awesome! They are really fair with the amounts they give you when selling items and I would recommend them to ANYONE!
David was very helpful. I’ve been to a lot of pawn shops and everyone who works here is far and above the most professional, and respectful I’ve ever seen.

Got a great pair of JBL studio bluetooth headphones for under $20 and i am very satisfied. I was even able to try them out before purchasing.
Micheal was amazing, helped me with everything I need. Would definitely come back and do business with them. Best pawnshop I’ve ever been to.
Very good experience... All questions were answered, & received a fair loan amount for the items I pawned... Great service & friendly people.
Mr. Cliff is a highly knowledgeable service technician that isn't the manager but HE IS THE BOSS!! Go see him for a fair deal. Thanks Cliff!!

Amazing customer service. Greeted when I walked in the door, and taken care of quickly. I left happy! Had a nice family friendly vibe!
Always fast and friendly cliff and Maddie are awesome. Everybody on that team has awesome customer service and is always ready to help
Madeline provides stellar customer service and is very helpful in providing me with all of the options offered by the establishment.
These reviews must be fake. Lady at the desk was incredibly rude and against doing business. The shop down the street sure wasn't.
Very decent with selling. Both parties left a little unsatisfied so I think it was a good deal. Good prices it seems like too.
Thanks, Cliff for the excellent customer service, I’ll be back soon. BTW, the merchandise is super nice and displayed nicely.
Gave me double for half the games that another store would've given me 25. Lady was nice and everything was great. Recommend.
i drove from Belton..very nice people..i dealt with Mr.Clifford..he was a great guy doing business with!! i would recommend
Came in and was helped by Michael, great service and cool atmosphere really helped me out and gave the most for my items.
Always have to stop in and see Cliff when I'm in Austin. Great deal on the diamond stud earrings. Wife will be thrilled.
The employees are always so friendly. This is the best place for selling or buying gold. Definitely will be going back.
Friendly staff, very helpful and fair. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a pawn shop in the Austin area.
Noemi as usual was very helpful polite and when you deal with me you have to have patience she definitely had that
I bought a guitar today from them and they were super friendly and nice, they were very accommodating and polite.
This was one of the best experiences i have had Omar and Cliff are the most professional people i have ever met
Very friendly staff. We’re very thorough with evaluating the quality of my jewelry. I will definitely go back.

Good pawnshop! I've bought a lot of good merchandise from this place and have had good experiences here.
The Manager at this location is always so respectful and pleasant to work with unlike most pawn shops.
