"Amazing pawn shop! Definitely the best in the Des Moines area! James and May are so helpful and give you really good prices on jewelry! Don't take your stuff anywhere else."

"Solar Pawn Shop offers a great balance of value, service, and quality items. It's a solid choice whether you're looking to buy, sell, or just browse. The friendly staff, reasonable pricing, and unique finds make it one of the best pawn shops in town. Highly recommend checking it out next time you're in the area!"

"I love collecting vintage jewelry on my travels and this was the place to do it! Steve showed me so many incredible pieces and let me take my time sifting through everything he had. The prices were fair and the selection was great. I wish I lived closer so that I could visit again!"

"Wonderful experience! The owner is friendly and on top of working with multiple people at once with genuine interest to what they're looking for. Willing to dig around and find the perfect fit for item and pricing for you. My son and I came in to look for a computer for his birthday gift and he was very patient, helpful, and knowledgable. If I could give 6/5 stars I would."
