Hey, I have some buddies out in Your area, Montgomery, N Aurora, Oswego, etc. I know your not too far from Naperville. If your ever over by their downtown swing by Naperville Pawn. It's the one on the Pawn Queens show. Not worth taking a trip just to go there but if your in the area its worth stopping by.
The old guy is a jerk wont buy anything and gives terrible prices offerd my buddy like 435 for a safe that sells new for a few grand.
The younger guy on the other hand is very nice, gives halfway decent prices. They are kinda wierd sometimes they buy anything ohtertimes they are picky. I was surprised at some of the stuff they buy though. The guy bought a few of those little lunchbox size coleman coolers from me for like $6 a piece. Normally that's flea market wares. It's nice to have a place to dump that type of stuff because I sure am not going to deal with the headaches of craigslist and meeting up for $6. They take a lot of household goods type stuff, crystal, etc since its geared towards women. I recently posted an article about the shop in the news section. The show is stupid shop is worth checking out though.
