Largest Disney Pawn Shop Opens

In the comments below the text of the article, is "DisneyFan1" pretending to be a customer but is really the owner of the store? I can't figure that out. :shrug:

Where is Winter Garden?

Due North (about 10 miles as the crow flies) of the MK on Lake Apopka.

To make it a 'Pawn Shop' doesn't he have to offer loans? If not, isn't it just a normal store with collectables and vintage Disney stuff?

 

[Ulysses McGill]

That looks pretty cool. Definitely might take a detour and go find that place.

They are no longer in Winter Garden. They are now near Florida Mall closer to the airport.

I was going to ask, since this thread is from 2011, if the place even existed anymore.

Moved to an industrial park near the Florida Mall. Google, the name is the same. They sell some items on ebay.

Was going to take a trip there in Feb. on my next vacation until I heard the splash mountain sign was going for 1k. That makes me think that the stuff is so overpriced, I would never really buy anything there. Although, I have some merch from the 80's. Do you think they would buy it off me? Also, does anyone know their ebay name? I'd like to check out some of there online auctions.

Depends on the rarity. What is it?

TPC is great! We've been going there for a long time. They really do have items for all different price ranges. We actually bought a large sign from the Poly during the rehab there. As well as the original brass sign from the outside of the Gerber Baby Care Center at MK. Anyone happen to have a vintage picture of the outside of the Center?

everything there is overpriced.. A lot of it is resold from Cast connection and property control... sometimes they don't even bother to remove the 1.99 price tag they paid at cast connection before charging 15.99 for the item..

They have nice things, but they also rip people off.. GROSSLY overpriced.

TPC is a ripoff. They sell fake items and claim them as authentic theme park props. Buyer beware.

Your Polynesian sign...did it have any wear on it?

Yes it does have wear. Plus the marks from the framing it was held in as well as the holes where it was attached.

Can you post a picture?

I went, and I don't think these were real signs. The signs at the poly differ from what was in the "store".

 

[dyerneeds]

Yeah mines not one of those.

Well let's see this baby.
