Sunglasses are a must-have accessory, especially if you live in a place like the Inland Empire, where the sun shines almost all-year round. High-quality sunglasses can provide the kind of quality and comfort that will make it easy to protect your eyes from the bright light of our Southern California sun.

Whether you buy them for style or for adventure, it is always worth it to invest in high-quality sunglasses. The kind that you can buy at gas stations or that you might receive as promotional items are cheaply made, and worse, do not actually protect your eyes, which can lead to pain and damage. Designer sunglasses are manufactured to scientific specifications and are built to last.

For many people, however, designer sunglasses are too expensive. That’s where we come in: at Central Mega Pawn, we make it easy to get high-quality designer sunglasses at a fraction of retail price.

Shopping for the perfect sunglasses can be overwhelming, so we’ve compiled a guide to help you find the perfect sunglasses for you, and how to get the most value for your money when it comes to buying designer sunglasses.

Eye Protection

Your first consideration should be on eye protection from harmful UV rays. It is a misconception that darker lenses mean increased eye protection; the truth of the matter is that the most protective lenses come in all shades. When you buy non name-brand glasses, however, you can never be sure that you are getting the protection you need. This is another reason to buy designer sunglasses whenever possible, as you can rest assured that the lenses provide the highest level of protection.

Fit

Next, you should consider how your new sunglasses will fit. Not every frame is created equal, which is a good reason to visit us in person to try on your new glasses. They should fit well but not sung across the bridge of your nose and should not apply pressure against your scalp. Remember that the best pair of sunglasses for you is the one that you will wear consistently.

Lens

You cannot ignore lens quality when choosing your new designer sunglasses, as they are what stands between your delicate eyes and harmful rays. Lenses can be made of a variety of materials, such as glass, or polycarbonate. Regardless of the material, lenses should be free of scratches. Scratches are not only distracting, but they could also expose your eyes to damaging UV light. If you find any damage to the lenses, find another pair or look into getting the lenses fixed before you begin wearing them.

Tint

The color or your lenses do not only affect the style of your sunglasses, but also affect how your eyes will detect contrast and differentiate between colors. Different lens tints filter light differently.

Depending on what kind of activities you want to use your glasses for, consider the following:

• Gray lenses reduce light intensity without affecting how you see contrast, or distorting colors.
• Brown lenses enhance contrast by blocking some blue light, which makes them ideal for snow activities, and hunting in bright light conditions.
• Amber/yellow lenses significantly block most blue light, which makes them ideal for hunters but bad for any other activity that requires color recognition.
• Copper sunglasses are favored by golfers, as they mute the sky and grass against a golf ball.
• Blue and green sunglasses lenses enhance the contrast of brightly colored tennis balls.

Overall Quality

The cumulative effect of all these considerations will give you an idea of the overall quality. Designer sunglasses will give an impression of high-quality and durability in the way the lenses, frame and fit feel when you put them on.

Face Shape

Next, you should consider your face shape; the shape of your face is a helpful guide to finding the perfect the right pair for you.

• Oval – If your chin is narrower than the forehead, you have an oval face, and are very lucky, because almost any frame will compliment this face shape.
• Round – If the width and the length of the face are the same, you have a round face. Wearing wide and rectangular sunglasses will compliment this face shape, while round frames and colored lenses should be avoided.
• Square – If your face has well-defined angles in prominent areas such as your jawline, forehead, and cheeks, you have a square-shaped face. Round and oval frames are the way to go in this situation, while angular or geometric frames will not do you any favors.
• Heart-shaped Face – A broader forehead and narrow chin denotes a heart-shaped face. Round or cat’s-eye shaped frames are the most flattering options for this face shape.
• Oblong – A narrow chin and a long face are the hallmarks of an oblong face. Try out oversized or wraparound style frames to not only flatter your natural shape but to make a bold style statement.

Of course, the best way to know for sure when you’ve found the right pair for you is to come visit us in person and try on some of our selections. We buy only the highest-quality items that come through our door and sell only top brand sunglasses that come with their original packaging, such as authentic cases and paperwork.

Smart gamers know that they don’t always have to pay full retail price to enjoy the latest video games and consoles. While some wait for the hype to die down before buying, or waiting for holiday sales, another great option is to give your local pawn shop a look before buying your next game or console. If you live in the Inland Empire, Central Mega Pawn should be your first stop. We also have a secure online shop to serve your needs as well.

Pawn shops like Central Mega Pawn are excellent options because video games and consoles are popular things to pawn, which means that we always have a wide variety of the most popular games and consoles in stock. Sellers know that they will get a much better price for their items at a pawn shop than at places like Craigslist, GameStop, eBay, or through any of the numerous person-to-person sales apps. Central Mega Pawn only buys and sells the most current stuff, as well as the hard-to-find items for the serious collectors in the community. Every item we sell will be in excellent condition. We carry top consoles and titles like:

• Nintendo Switch, DS, Wii U
• Xbox
• Playstation: PS4, Sony Vita, PSP
• Franchise games such as:
• MLB: the Show
• Madden
• Call of Duty

Buying from a pawn shop like Central Mega Pawn is safe and provides all the benefits of buying at retail without any of the mark up; you will get the exact game or console you want without having to pay for shipping and handling, or dealing with the crowds of malls or big-box retailers. What’s more, you can even negotiate if the price isn’t to your liking. Try that at your local retailer, and you’re likely to be asked to leave.

Although every pawn shop is as unique as the community it serves, one thing they all have in common is that they are always highly motivated to move their items. Central Mega Pawn is no different; while you will find only incredible prices in our shop, we are always happy to work with our valued customers and community to get you the items you want and need at a price you can afford.

Before you visit us, or any pawn shop for your next gaming equipment, here is what to look for when you visit your local pawn shop for your next video game or video game console:

• Does it have everything you need to get started, such as controllers and power cables?
• Does it turn on? Your local pawn shop will be happy to plug it in for you before you buy, to assure you that it is in good working order before taking it home.
• Are all the buttons on the controllers clean and functional?
• Is it clean? Be sure to check out all the ports, connectors and body; those sensitive areas should be free of dust, cobwebs, and crumbs.
• Is the disk relatively scratch-free? A disk with a few marks doesn’t necessarily mean it is broken, but an excess of scratches may cause your game to freeze up part way through and become unusable.
• Does your local pawn shop have a return policy? Be sure to understand the return policy and get it in writing, just in case you get home and your items do not work as expected.

Now that you know what to look for, here’s how to get the best prices on video games and video game consoles at your local pawn shop:

Do your homework

It will pay off greatly to know exactly how much you would pay for your items if you were to buy elsewhere. Luckily, this information is easy to find when it comes to video games and consoles; a quick search for your desired item in the “completed auctions” listing on eBay, or on the website for your local big-box retailer can give you an idea of what a good price might be. The more information you have, the more peace of mind you will have that you are getting a fair price.

Expect to negotiate

Unlike retail stores, it is perfectly acceptable to haggle with your local pawnbroker over the price of an item. Using the information from your research, you will be able to discern when you’re getting a good deal, and when you should push to get a little taken off the sales tag. You can also make offers on bundles of games, for example, or for additional controllers. Respectable pawn shops, like Central Mega Pawn, are happy to work with you to reach a price that works for both parties, which cannot always be said about other buying and selling interactions, such as when buying online or through an app. In fact, we’ve compiled a helpful guide to negotiating at a pawn shop, available here.
