I literally just bought a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V for $430 in excellent condition. That same weekend I bought a Japanese Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang for $200. Both at pawn shops. There are deals out there. I actually been to the pawn shop where that epi was purchased. I bought a nice USA Std Tele for $310 at that same Pawn Shop.

So true Chuck! My first Bass was a Guild B302. Got it at a pawn shop for 200$(with hard case). Now it's reaching 4 digits.Wish I never pawned it.😢

You just have to schooled in the art of jewing. You have to jew them down. Most times they will cave if you start to walk out of the store.
@krimsonguitar6 ай бұрын
@@XHuntinatorX Most of the deals I've gotten at pawn shops have been priced great from the very start. I track their website daily and score the deals usually the same day they are posted. They don't really haggle with you until the item has been out for at least a month. Cash America actually has a 20% discount that takes affect every 90 days, so the price of any item automatically falls as time progresses. The best deals don't really last but a day or two, which is why people say their are no good deals anymore. You really have to consistently look to find a great deal.

Yesterday I lucked into a 2005 HSS mex strat with Grover locking tuners and a tweed hardshell case for $200, a friend got an American strat and was going to sell it and said he wanted me to have it because I been playing a bullet strat and a stagg lp, but I had no money so he was going to take it the next day to someone else if I couldn't get the $. I had given up and then a couple hours later I showed my cousin a pic of the guitar and said what a deal it was and he blew my mind by offering to loan me the money so I got on the phone and 30 minutes later I had my Mexican strat plugged into my Eleven Rack and 212 jamming. I started work on my cousin's farm today, lol

I've been buying from pawn shops for decades. I try to get to know the people in a shop. E.g. I'm a photographer and a woman in one shop loves phitography. So we chat about that. She offers me great deals without me having to haggle. I speak in Spanish as much as I can if they are latino. My general advice is to offer half of the price they ask. Pawn shops pay very little for things and often the item you love is something ttey want to dump. Don't be afraid to hold your ground and walk...they nay meet your price. There are plenty if bargain guitars out there. Don't fall in love with anything if your goal is to get a great deal. Also if you can adjust and repair a guitar that gives you IMMENSE bargaining power. To me a new potentiometer is a $2 repair. Point out to them that it is a BROKEN guitar. Tell them (nicely) they should never have bought it but you can take it off their hands.

out in IL. all the Pawn Shops go off of eBay listings of the same items. say that SG you were looking at. you know they didn't pay $300 for it. they most likely paid less than half for it. they will look on eBay as the seller is standing there and will base what they can give and get for it. i always take my cellphone to Pawn Shops and look the item i am interested in on eBay and i know how much I can haggle with the price. i have a friend who use to work a American Pawn. he was a buyer for the store. they look on eBay at the high used price on something like that SG sold for and if condition is good or great. the pawn shop will try to get the same price for that item, but screw the seller of that item. a place out here called Cash Converters would really f@ck over everyone selling and buying. you got that SG for under $300... you did good. just check out eBay next time you go pawn hunting. show them what that item sold for at its low ball price in good or great condition. cuz you know they didn't pay much for it.
