What's on the wall
“The shop is also really cool with a lot of collectibles - would highly recommend to check them out!”
“THAT was a huge trust-earning moment for me, she could have easily pocketed them as copper/brass, but was very honest.”
What players say again and again
“Ray, Griffin and Vito took care of me and gave me very fair prices for my items and were incredibly friendly and made the selling process smooth.”
“We also thank Ray for giving us the best possible price for the ring as we talked it over and thankful we were given a GOOD DEAL for this ring.”
From the reviews
Honest and respectful staff. They have helped me out when needed. I have taken out loans several times with them and their staff has always treated me with respect and kindness. I never had an issue with the items I have left as collateral and I appreciate the reminders informing me when my loans were becoming due.
THEY ARE THE BEST!! after a frustrating couple of days being turned away at various "pawn shops", i decided to try one last place. im SO glad i did, i am a customer for life. i came in today with a small bin full of miscellaneous jewelry, nothing crazy fancy- and a lot of pieces that needed to be tested.
Miss Isabelle, was beyond DELIGHTFUL (on the phone) and EVEN MORE PLEASANT in-PERSON🌹 She and her staff, are supremely welcoming and equally accommodating, this store (GRANTERS) is the place to go to first for this genre of establishments, they're worth the drive💯🔥‼️ May GOD continue to Bless You all and Your…
Good place to sell bouillon; fair prices and staff is relatively fast/very friendly. Feels like I’m entering Fort Knox every time I go in there but I get it 😂 been in three times and will definitely be back
Selling or trading gear at Granters Pawn Shop
Granters Pawn Shop 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.
