Echo Park Pawn Shop is located on Sunset Boulevard and carries a large selection of typical pawn-shop goods, from musical instruments to power tools. You'll find a glass counter with pawned wedding rings and heirlooms. Struggling musicians can find amps, effects pedals and all sorts of other equipment.
The shop also has other electronics, televisions and even cutlery for those who need a new knife set. When you find something you can't live without, make a deal but don't be afraid to haggle. Many of the items are priced higher with the idea that they'll be bargained down.
