Brands they deal
From the reviews
I Just placed an order with them online, and have been on the phone with them multiple times about getting back a guitar pedal I sold in hard times, that had significant sentimental value to me.
This place is an old fashioned musical trade store. Lots of used items on the shelves. Great, obscure items, reasonably priced and the owner, Slevin is cool as they come. Great place!
I found this business looking for some monitors for my studio that are no longer in production on Ebay, and Techno Empire had the ones I wanted listed. I was attracted to their listing initially because they were shown with crystal clear professional photographs and very detailed, then I read there was a 30 day money…
An incredible selection of all things pro audio: road cases, mixers, rack mount stuff, instruments, pedal boards, even a standalone vocal booth when I was there. The list goes on- you name it and they have it. The staff is very knowledgeable and my experience was just fantastic. Will be back soon!
Selling or trading gear at Techno Empire
Techno Empire 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.
