Uptown Pawn

Hey Jamie... ABSOLUTELY! Jewelry in general, includes Diamonds, Gold, Silver, and other gems of value are our specialty. We pride ourselves having 50 years combined years in the jewelry business, secret shopped by "KARE11" news and WE PAID THE MOST! Its all on record on the google. Anyhow, it would be a pleasure to help you out, cost nothing to swing by and get insights. Tell the crew the owner Michael sent you. Glad you reached out and look forward to earning your business.

We sure do... cheap too. Feel free to stop in for values on most video game systems such as PS4, XboxONE , Wii, Nintendo etc... games & console. Hope to see you soon- Michael Strauss -owner

Good morning... thanks for reaching out and great question. Currently I don’t have any in stock however when we do, we sell switch completely tested, -30-50% off retail. The last couple complete systems we sold for $175-228 . All cords, super clean. Again, thank you for considering Uptown Pawn

Hey Maribel... great question! The answer is yes. It's all about timing... most Apple products are very difficult to keep on the floor because they sell quickly due to demand. Often iPhones sell 24-72 hours after we post and display at the store. Recently we have been very selective on what we take so it also challenges our inventory supply. Feel free to call or stop in to see what we have on hand... we would be glad to roll out the red carpet for you either way. Michael - Owner

Yes we do if the have the receipt... gift cards yes, return credits generally no but we have mad exceptions. Thanks for asking!

Hey Derrick, we have a large selection of new and previously loved Air Jordans, Yeezy, Human Race, Boost, and Adidas. Things change quickly at the store so make sure to follow us on Facebook and or instagram. Many times our sneaker division PtownKicks will have videos of “Steals & Deals” on Monday’s. You are always welcome to swing by and check it out. Most are 9/10 condition. It was a great question, thanks for asking! Streets’ (owner)

Sure we take cell phones however, it depends on many things such as Model, Condition, and of course how old it is. We are very selective but aggressive buyers of any apple product iPhones.

No , Never have had anything like that come in. You may want to try my friends over at Excel Pawn or Pawnworks. Good people. ( but don't forget about me next time if you are looking for something ) lol Streets' ( owner )

Yes

Mr Dunham, Thank you for contacted us regarding game consoles. I suppose it depends on your definition of "Classic" relative to the amount of collectibility and value. We certainly have purchased old systems in the past such as original Nintendo, Gamecube, Sega, Atari, and other sought after originals. All must be working and in re-sell condition. May I suggest you call Uptown Pawn directly and give us the specifics of what you have? Are you selling the game system or do you just need a loan on your classic game console collection? Let them know the owner "Streets' replied to you on Google questions andI told you to call. Ask for Jeremy. He is one of our in-house experts with years of experience in gaming and the collection values. So to answer your question: Yes depending on what you have to offer.

Unfortunately we don't make a practice of taking gardening tools however, we have made some exceptions, we have taken tree trimmer, Echo, Stihl, and other higher end tools if that counts. If you have something specific that you think has value, call the store direct with more information... Uptown Pawn 612-823-3001.

Great Question. Yes, We are always buying and selling all sorts of gold, silver, or platinum. If we can’t get you the most for your collection or coins.... i bet you’ll be surprised by my answer but “If I can’t get you the cash you want for you gold, i believe it is my job and commitment to advocate for you and suggest other place that may be able to serve you better on a specific transaction that I can’t provide the best outcome for you” with hope that you will see I care about each customer that comes in asking for help. It may not work on this deal however I imagine you will call me again when you need help , cash , or where to get the most for your item. 30 years in the gold, diamond, and jewelry business... lots of buyers, collectors and customers that buy and sell me gold daily

No game cubes in stock right now.. been a while since we've seen anything like that. I suggest keeping an eye on Craigslist or the new platform to find locally is Facebook Marketplace. I buy and sell there all the time. Thanks for considering us at Uptown Pawn. Michael Strauss

Yes... we have been selling gold and silver men’s chains since 2002! If you don’t see what you like in the case, don’t be hesitant to ask if we have any more that are not displayed. Often, due to our low gold pricing, things move fast and may be in at the goldsmiths being cleaned up , polished like new for the showcase. Hope that helps a bit.... if your looking for something specific, send us a direct email or text message and we can cater to your specific gold chain needs. Many thanks for considering us at Uptown Pawn.

Yes definitely were plenty of sterling silver rings but Uptown Pawn was one of the many businesses either burglarized, looted or burnt down during the unrest in the cities during the death of George Floyd.

Looks like it's gonna be awhile still. I was by there yesterday and it's still messed up pretty bad

Thanks for reaching out... as far as street wear OR sneaker apparel, at this time we primarily focus on SUPREME, BAPE, OFF-WHITE, KITH, GUCCI, and other demanded brands. If you have something that we determine has some value.. over $50, we will certainly try to make something happen if we can. I appreciate your question. Hope you consider us next time you are trying to sell or just need short term cash. Michael

Yes. Prices differ but there are reasonable prices.

Greetings and great question. I am not sure if you are asking how much we pay OR how much we sell for. If its the older version, (just a regular XBOX) we are currently out of stock because we stopped buying that model a few months back. If your looking for newer models such as the XBOX S and others... we carry but its day to day. We priced competitively , generally lower than any commercial account available online. Things move fast around here so you may want to pop in if your in the neighborhood. Again, thanks for reaching out.

Hey Mike. My general answer to most questions like your is " We buy most things of value". So what does that mean? Well as long as your item doesn't have the tank and has a pre-owned value over $75, we may take it but thats based on condition, examination, and our free online comparisons. We certainly welcome your business but can't guarantee anything without have all the information. FYI, we have purchased welding equipment in the past. I appreciate you considering Uptown Pawn and look forward to earning your business someday. Michael -

Hey Shane, Thanks for reaching out. Invicta's can be a bit tricky because the retail price s so inflated. I am sure it a great model , and most invicta's are great looking but resale has been a challenge this past year unless they are priced cheap. Ebay and other online markets are flooded with Invicta's. I would like to take a look and see it in person if your in the area... that way we can talk about what some of your goals are selling, how much you want etc. Again, I appreciate the opportunity and hope we can do some business. Michael

Yes

Sorry I don't

Yeah they will

Greeting Sara, We sure do! The majority of what we buy are gold, platinum pieces. If we buy silver, it has to have substantial weight do to the price of silver being so low right now. It is free to stop in and get a bid/quote. It would be our pleasure to give you any insight you need. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Michael - Owner

Yes

Good afternoon Asia, I would have to know more about the sneakers you want to bring in. We do short term cash loans, ( pawns), buy and sell approximately 10-30 shoes per day. I am not sure if you were able to contact the store directly or contact on FB by now.. ask for Ben Strauss ( PtownKicks ) or JonO at the store. 612-823-3001 Many thanks for reaching out... we would love to help out if we can. Michael - owner

They open at 10:30

No, unfortunately we don’t have any for sale right now. Locational he we do find someone coming in and selling us the collection and at times we will have them for sale. Good question though and thanks for reaching out.

Hey Mr. Westbrook. Unfortunately at this time we don't. We do however by many other, newer systems such as XBOX ONE, PS4, Nintendo... I do appreciate you reaching out though. You may want to try a place like GameStop, or a platform like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Good Luck. -Michael

Hey Taylor, We do although it depends on the brand, condition, and working condition. We buy all models from electric, acoustic, banjo, bass, and other funky styles. We pay more for Gibson, Taylor, Martin. Hope to see you soon. Feel free to swing by for a free estimate anytime. No appointment needed. Tell them the owner Streets' told you to pop in. Thanks again for reaching out and contacting us at Uptown Pawn. Michael S

Hey Dominick , yes we have New and used $6 -$15 while supplies last. Thanks for asking.

Hey there Maureen, good question. As a rule we only take appliance that are new ( unused ) and over $100 retail value. Thank you for taking a shot and asking.

Hey Pato, it looks like we are all out of PS2's systems but if you think you may be interested in upgrading to a newer game system, we can make sure you get the best deal around. The classic games systems are a blast, but these days, harder and harder to find. May I suggest Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or some of the re-sell apps such as: OfferUp, Let it go. I hope you find what your looking for. Thanks again for contacting us and the opportunity. Michael Strauss - Owner

Actually, WE DO TAKE Bluetooth speakers depending o the conditions and brand. Feel free to swing down or call Uptown Pawn with details. Glad you asked and hope to see you soon!

No

Hey Jasmine, Unfortunately we are not licensed to do so. I wish I could suggest someone who does but I am not aware of any. I appreciate the question though... good luck with your mission to sell. Michael S - Owner

Hey Julie... unfortunately we stopped taking rims a few years ago however, we have always referred tire/ rim customers to our good friends of at Excel Pawn. They have a bunch of locations around town. Make sure to call first since rims/tires are a bit seasonal and vary from store to store. Good people. I hope that helps and perhaps if you need something else in the future , you will consider Uptown Pawn. Good Luck!

Dear Audrey, Unfortunately we don't at this time. They never seemed to have much resale value. Moreover we found many had subscriptions that couldn't be undone. Perhaps you can sell it to a private party on the new Facebook Marketplace. We have had luck listing on their platform.... however, you need to list at a very realistic price. I wish I could do more. Good luck and thank you for contacting us at Uptown Pawn. Michael S

I noticed you texted me direct. I hope you received the information you needed and called the store. I remember originally my computer guy had some questions. If not, give him a call. He's aware that you contacted us earlier. Many thanks for considering Uptown Pawn. Good luck- Michael S

Generally we have a large selection of headphones. Example that are in stock are Beats by Dre, Bose, Boss, B&O, Sony.... we have studio and general models. All priced aggressively low. Thank you for reaching out and considering us at Uptown Pawn. Streets' ( owner )

Generally we have a large selection of laptops however, most of our Apple products sell out quickly. If we do have Apple MacBooks, Apple Laptops, they all have been wiped out of all data, new and current operating systems when possible and working condition. All priced aggressively low. Thank you for reaching out and considering us at Uptown Pawn. Streets' ( owner ) Stop on in for the latest. Streets' ( Owner )

We buy silver chains ( silver jewelry ) if the silver weight is over 100 grams. You need a bunch of silver these days to make it worth it. We buy lots of other 925 Silver like 925 Silver Flatware, Serving pieces and more. If you are not sure what you have, swing by Uptown Pawn anytime and we can help you sort things out.. NO CHARGE. Have a great day and thank you for considering us at Uptown Pawn. Michael Strauss

Greetings Monica, Glad you reached out to us at Uptown Pawn. For the most part we consider taking anything in that has value, of course depending on size and season. As far as printers go, unfortunately we generally don't take unless new in box. Printers are a difficult since they are hard test and if we do, time consuming process. WE DO QUOTE ballpark prices over depending on specifics of item. We offer a realistic range over phone or if text. We dont often promise a price based on what the customer describes only to discover it may differ such as condition, parts missing, functional, gold weights wrong etc.. it often causes frustration for both parties. Our philosophy is transparency. We suggest you bring in the item, examine together, determine market price and then give as many options as we can in order to meet your short or long term cash needs. If you need a quote in the future, call and ask for me, Michael Strauss. I am the owner. Hope to see you soon!

Unfortunately we dont at this time... In the past we have taken in large collection of cards if we could determine they have value. If you believe they have value and want to stop by Uptown Pawn, we can look up a few similar auctions online such as eBay that have been closed-completed. If we determine we can make a few dollars and still help you out... who knows, maybe we can do some business. Many thanks for considering us at Uptown Pawn. Hope to see and meet you sometime soon. Michael Strauss (owner)

You may be a little bummed out... currently we dont buy or pawn movies. Although, If you have a complete box set/series that has reasonable value online, we certainly would entertain an exception. Feel free to stop by Uptown Pawn anytime. Hope to see you soon!
