A-1 Trade & Loan Ltd.

This pawn shop/thrift hybrid on Commercial Drive offers a surprisingly clean and well-organized space, with a solid focus on electronics and camera gear. The staff, particularly Mark, know their stuff and are genuinely helpful - they'll even give you tips on fixing minor issues with electronics. While primarily a pawn shop, they've got decent prices on pre-owned tech like iPads, gaming consoles, and camera lenses. Not your typical dusty thrift store vibes - it's more of a legitimate electronics reseller with professional service. Great spot if you're hunting for tech deals, though don't expect typical thrift store treasures.
