Tes Pawn Shop

Pawn shops still trade in quick cash and second-hand finds, even in neighborhoods where storefronts flip faster than subway turnstiles. Tes Pawn Shop keeps that tradition alive on the corner of East Gun Hill Road. They buy used goods and sell them right back out, a cycle that skips the middleman and keeps the block humming with bargain hunters.

The shop sits at 400 E Gun Hill Rd, Bronx, NY 10467, wedged between the bodegas and the bus stops where the 28 runs. It’s the kind of spot you walk past until you suddenly need it—no fanfare, just a door that opens when you’ve got something to hock or a deal to chase. The place doesn’t advertise, but word travels where it counts.

If you’re bringing in electronics, jewelry, or tools, call ahead to confirm what they’re taking: (347) 523-3543. Directions are straightforward enough—pull up the map here. The Bronx keeps its secrets, but this one’s out in the open, right where you left it.
