“Very helpful staff and very fair offers on precious metals.”
“Luis is so knowledgeable in everything!”
From the reviews
The people here are amazing! I spent about an hour in the room full of beautiful jewelry with a genuinely kind and very helpful employee. The price we agreed on was definitely fair. I was not rushed at all...in fact, I was encouraged to take my time to be sure that I loved the jewelry being purchased!
Excellent customer service! Went in for a watch battery and left with a great customer experience. I'm new to the area, but the gentlemen in the store were super helpful and provided some of the best service which created a wanted return to their business. Highly recommended for shopping with great staff!
Very helpful staff and very fair offers on precious metals. Much more generous than Cash Indiana in Michigan City.
I was in search of some video games for my godson. The sales rep James was a huge help in helping me find things that are current, cool, and we’ll within my price range! They were a big hit. Thanks for helping me make my godsons birthday special James!
Selling or trading gear at Ameripawn
Ameripawn comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
