“On top of that he cut me a great price.”
From the reviews
Was in town visiting my boyfriend and need to sell some items before my move to california soon. So i had two brand new google nest cameras wifi enabled that i originally paid $385 for at best buy and i sold it here for $40 each.
My experience with Crown Pawnbrokers could not have been better! I am obsessed with guitar stuff and the staff at Crown had an amazing selection and happened to have two cool amps I’d been looking for in stock and Nick not only gave me a great deal, he held an item over for my convenience and even helped carry an old…
Best first experience ever. Awesome general collection in the store but specifically the retro consoles drew me in. Mike helped me test out multiple GameCubes, GameCube games, and controllers to make sure that everything I was buying was working smooth. On top of that he cut me a great price. I’ll be back
I’ve been coming here for some time. They are welcoming and professional. They have an array of items I trust their business.
Selling or trading gear at Crown Pawnbrokers
Crown Pawnbrokers 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.
