Prices range of about $58.75 to $135 on eBay, they work with only eBay prices they tell me. So I bring it in and Ofcourse they want to go based off of how many of them have been sold.. and Ofcourse none of have been sold... can't even make me an offer or anything. I show the lady that online Ginny Hogan Paintings sell anywhere between $240-$3600, showed the ones that have already been sold from her original website. No offer, no nothing, What a complete waste of my time..

My main concern when dealing with a Pawn Shop is honesty, and integrety. This shop is big on both…read moreof these qualities. Plus Mike is very knowledgeable at judging value of items. This can be good, but can be upsetting if in my head I have over valued what I am selling. I have mostly been a buyer and know the value of items thatI want to purchase, and this shop has so far been in the ball park on the items I collect. RAP

Just spoke with associate on the phone regarding an item I wanted to sell. He asked how much I…read morewanted for the item. I had done some research and started my price at the high end (I thought thats how you negotiate - you start high, they go low and you meet in the middle - am I wrong) The associate didn't even attempt to negotiate. He ridiculed me for my retail price offer and said maybe I should try someone else. When I tried to tell him it was not a final price he got very rude. How do they stay in business with that kind of attitude. Monster Pawn and Midwest Exchange were much more professional, asked for pics and were willing to deal. Sellers beware!

Gave me a great deals on some tools if you want to buy or sale this is the place to goread more

Very nice staff. Just remember that they have to sell their stuff below retail so just because your item is selling for a lot on eBay, they won't pay as much because they have to beat certain prices and they can't hold onto stuff forever. They also were helpful about jewelry markings to tell if a piece is real or plated. Recommend.

This shop just opened up in Urbana (as of June 2007); it is spawned from another Buy-Sell-Trade…read moreStore in Springfield. It's kind of a hybrid pawn shop / thrift store / collectible shop. They certainly have a lot of stuff here, and I'd suggest you check it out: tools, collectibles, some motorcycles, dolls, guitars, etc. If you want an antique cane, they have them. If you want a compound bow, you can get it for about $50. But speaking of prices, that's where things get a bit odd: some things in the store seem to me to be a bit overpriced. Some are a lot overpriced. And for a collectible shop, not everything seems to be terribly well cared for. On the day I went there, a lot of people were selling their things to the gal behind the desk (not the desk with the young kids running the registers). So you might get a few bucks for your stuff here, if you're not into selling via Craigslist or eBay. UPDATE: this joint closed faster than spit! Forget it ever existed

It's in downtown Bloomington, by the Coffee Hound and Reality Bites and in every way, this place looks like a fancy shmancy women's clothing botique. There isn't a very large selection or much inventory, but my wife liked most of the items in the store. Guys - the reason that you should care: the prices are very reasonable. I bought my wife a birthday gift of a pair of boots for $38. I don't think that there were any boots over $45. Most of the clothes that I saw on the rack or folded on tables were between $30-50. One thing to know is that all sales are final, so you might want to make sure that you know your girl's size if you plan to pick something up.

Just down the street from some great coffee shops and restaurants, they have a well-curated selection of very reasonably priced on-trend clothing. I'm in my 30s and find really great casual/creative professional work clothes there that I always getting compliments on (not suits or really structured pieces, I am talking great tops and jackets). Clothes for evenings out (bars, clubbing), and some cute wedding-guest appropriate dresses are also available. They have a great selection of fun statement jewelry. I can't walk out without something semi-ridiculous (today it was a panther bracelet). The employees are a mix of students, mostly design and merchandising students, from area colleges. They usually are very helpful if you ask.
