Not a bad tool selection either. I've purchased a couple cds and a couple of guitar effects pedals here. I'm happy with what i have found here.

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.

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!

I am unfamiliar with the history of these sets from generations past,and though I am grateful to have them, they are simply not needed! I brought many pieces into AAA on each visit,I was initially a bit intimidated and nervous to pursue the route of selling, that went away immediately as the entire experience could not have been more kinder, informative and honest! This little spot on Ogden Avenue in Downers Grove is very welcoming! I sold many pieces and was able to leave with payment right away which was a delightful surprise! Hoping to find more Treasures and I will definitely continue to return to this fabulous place! Kay

The first time we went in, Jim was very thorough with how the customization would work, timeline, etc. we decided quickly that we wanted to get our bands done here.
