A question we are often asked is how can I insure I get the most for my used item?  There are a few things you can do before you even leave your house to be certain you get top dollar for your items.  

Without a doubt, one of the most important things you can do is to make sure your item is clean.  Thousands of items come through our doors; some are treasures, some not so much.  You don't want us missing your treasure because it was hidden under a layer of dust or dirt.

Next, make sure it works. There really is not a lot of value to most broken items these days, especially electronics.  In most cases it costs more to fix these items than to replace them, especially if you shop at a reputable secondhand store such as ours. It is also important that you know how your item works, so you can turn it on and demonstrate it to our staff. 

Lastly, make sure you have as many of the accessories as possible that came with the item when it was originally purchased.  This can include remotes, cables, power cords, antennas, manuals, etc.

If you follow these three easy steps, you can rest assured you will get the most for your used items.
