From the reviews
At first I was nervous to go. Once I started talking to several workers, I was very surprised and comfortable being in the shop as well as working with the family to make a decision on items. I was talked through the process and each employee has been extremely kind and helpful. Today was an exceptional experience.
Stopped in to sell some silver that was a bit sentimental to me. Annie helped me out and she even offered to take a picture of me with my items. While i respectfully declined, i appreciated the grace she handled the transaction with. Thank you Annie and thank you to the shop!
Made my first visit and transaction. Met Everson who made it and easy and honest deal! Now I have some new sterling silver and funds for jet fuel. Thanks Everson!
Best pawn shop in Bloomington normal. The customer service was amazing and couldn’t be happier. They gave me the best price for gold and silver. I will always go here and no other place
Selling or trading gear at Monster Pawn Superstore
Monster Pawn Superstore 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.
