TradeLand

Wow, a lot of you people are harsh! A store like this would not last long in business if EVERYTHING were cheap. However, I have found a few very good deals. It’s like most stores selling used items– hit or miss.
And the clerks I’ve dealt with have been friendly.
I will say I’ve never sold or returned anything to them.

One star because they do have cool items in their store, unfortunately they seem to think selling used items for close to what you can get them for new or what someone has the same items listed on e bay and then adding what they want to make on the item is how a pawn store operates. Don’t get me wrong they run a business and need to make a profit but they continually screw people over when buying customers used goods, also when the owner/​employee tells me he’s gonna give me less money if he has to research the items because, after dealing with them before and when they were in Hudson under the cash converters store name I know they aren’t gonna give me what I want (essentially just wanted to know what their offer would be and I would say yes or no.) That’s like saying because I have to do my job you’re gonna get less money. My recommendation is never spend your money in this store and only sell there if you really don’t care what you get in return.

Great owners who are willing to deal. They do have some arrogant kids who work for them, but who doesn’t anymore. If you talk to one of the 2 owners then you will find good guys who are running a great business.

Ok. Let me start this review by saying I totally agree with the majority of the other Unilocalers. MOST of their items are overpriced. MOST of the time you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for. MOST of the time there’s a lot of straight up junk in there.
However, as a couple reviews mentioned, there are some serious hidden gems in there and you have to be savvy and patient in order to find them.
I bought an excellent condition Nintendo NES («regular Nintendo») and it works great for $ 35.00. Old gaming systems and games in great working order are going for much more than original pricing. Perfect example of a hidden gem.
I bought a Dewalt drill and impact driver set, $ 300+ new for $ 129.00. They work mint and I’m still using them over a year and a half later.
I was on my way to Home Depot just 2 weeks ago and I randomly called to ask if they had a ladder in stock… They had the EXACT ladder height I was looking for PLUS it was the upgraded version of it and it was close to half price of ordering a new one. Fiberglass with the hooks. Only needs new $ 12 rubber pads on the feet.
Do not go here expecting to find what you want or need every time. It’s a pawn shop, they don’t order things in expecting you to buy it.
Go here when you’re going somewhere else already to buy it and maybe they’ll have a smoking deal on what you’re looking for.
Oh and every employee I’ve ever dealt with is really nice and extremely helpful. Plus they really know what they have available.
This isn’t «Pawn Wars» it’s a real business with real people trying to make a living.
Try this place right before you’re going to buy elsewhere. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Selection… awesome! ! Could be in there for days. High end goods and lots of em. Why the three stars? Because the prices are insane! ! It’s like they use the MSRP or eBay as a price guide and then add 50%. Not to mention condition doesn’t seem to ever effect the price. So many things in there I’ve stared at for months… just never drops. Cool place to visit but don’t expect any hidden deals.

I love trade land, I live it RI and make the drive once or twice a month to check out new stock. Recently I bought a drum set, guitar, a few video games and accessories. Most of the staff is very knowledgeable about the instruments and are always willing to help.

Do not be fooled.
Their motto is «Buy Sell Save».
Interesting.
BUY — YES
SELL — YES
SAVE — YOU WILL SAVE IF YOU STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM TRADE LAND.
WHY?
I was very surprised to see:
Extremely beat up and worn power tools that should go for 25 bucks being sold for FULL retail price.
A Hitachi impact driver that looks like it was used every day for five years — $ 69?
An old style Dewalt drill — very heavy with NIMH batteries $ 199? I can get a new one on Amazon for much less.
As far as the car audio department — same thing, Why would I spend full retail for used equipment? I would not, but there must be someone that pays them for it. They are way more expensive than Craigslist. They had some not so good looking big box with some kicker square sub and amp attached for $ 749? I can buy this new for hundreds of dollars less.
Save your money and just buy NEW. Do not give your dinero to these CLOWNS okee dokee?

I’m seeing a recurring theme with most of the reviews and experienced the same. Customer service was awful, if you could even find an employee to begin with. I was wearing sweatpants and a white tshirt and another customer asked if I worked there. There wasn’t even people at the selling desk, I had to go find an employee and I wasn’t even the only person in line. The place is full of junk like wiring for computers from the 90s and they are selling that stuff seperatly. However, I tried to sell a burton snowboard with Ride bindings and they wouldn’t take it because it was too «old»? The board is barely 5 years old and the bindings newer, and I didn’t see a single board there. They clearly know nothing about buying and selling goods considering a lot of the items have dates on their price tags that show they have been sitting there a long time. My friend tried to sell a practically new nail gun but they wouldn’t take it because they said it was missing peices that come to find out don’t come with the nail gun. When we returned to tell them we were confronted by a tall middle aged man who rudely exclaimed that he’d been doing this for 17 years and that they didn’t want to buy the nail gun because we (my friend and I) didn’t know enough about it. Two seperate awful experiences means I’m never going back. I’ve seen nicer products more reasonably priced at a flea market.

I have bought many items and sold a few here as well, all the way back to when they were cash converters in Hudson. Sometimes you have to dig to find the hidden gems, but they often have harder to find or older video games that I am looking for. Don’t go in expecting to get top dollar for your electronics, as they have to resell it. They do seem to offer a decent price on selling and they often work out a deal when I want to trade them for something they already have that may cost more than what they were going to give me in cash or store credit. The staff can be a little rough around the edges but they get the job done and I always find myself coming back. My only gripe is that they need a crash course on batteries, most of their rechargeable batteries are either left to die or constantly plugged in (as a display) and both situations will kill rechargeable batteries of any kind.

i have never had any issues when selling stuff to them. They give a fair price based on the same research i do. I have had at least a dozen transactions with them as a buyer or seller and have never been dissatisfied. Why 4 stars ?? I dont do 5. just my opinion.

Way over priced, they sell majority of used stuff at retail prices, staff is also rude. Good inventory but very poor prices, the bathrooms are discusting, I would not recommend this place ever, they are out to rip you off!

Just leaving here now. Horrible customer service. Very rude people here. Just dealt with a tall guy, maybe in his 50s about a Dewalt Saw and Dewalt vacuum with three batteries. The saw is in decent shape, needs a new blade and the vacuum is ok at best. The batteries are dated from 2006. They want $ 129 for the set and I asked if I could make an offer. He said no, because you are getting so much with it. I said the batteries are no good. He said, «Well whatever. You get three batteries and at least you’re getting that for this price.»
I told him I am all set with it then. He then just walked away and rudely said, «Well bye then.»
Everything here is overpriced. It’s not all junk, there really are some nice things here, but the prices are way too high. Tool boxes up over $ 1000 that are dented and dirty. They have a vacuum pump that came from Harbor Freight that is clearly in used condition, for $ 10 less than new. I wouldn’t buy Harbor Freight power equipment new, let alone used from some shame pawn shop.
As other reviewers here on Unilocal and across the internet have said, I do not see a long life expectancy for this place.
On a lighter side, I did let loose a nice stinker in their bathroom. That at least makes me feel better. :)

Woah, where do I start? The rude staff or the high priced junk? It’s a tough call. For example, some kids were playing a guitar and amp in the store, not loud mind you and over the loudspeaker a staff member in an annoyed tone said «are you going to be done soon, I’ve lost an employee for over an hour now». Really dude? There are a million ways to handle that but that’s just plain rude.
Not to mention the prices. A USED Les Paul Studio guitar for $ 800 labeled as a «price drop». The tag said $ 1100 new. You know what? I’ll go buy one cheaper at guitar center and be able to get a full refund if I don’t like it.
You guys have to get one thing straight, you are a PAWN SHOP and you can’t charge the same prices as guitar center for used music gear. XBOX 360s for $ 130-​$ 170? Really? I got a NEW one with games for $ 160 on Amazon. Ridiculous.
I haven’t tried to trade anything in, but I have read another review saying they rip you off big time.
Out of business timeframe: less than two years.

They sell junk at high prices. Their website is basic at best, no search agents. Don’t try to call and ask if they have something, they are no help. I called to ask about a CD and they wouldn’t look, said they have hundreds. When I asked them about why there is no search on their website the said «it would cost me $ 5 to post a $ 3 item, and someone would have bought it before I was finished posting the item» I don’t think that is true, but who am I? Oh yea, I’m the fn customer! Why don’t you try a little customer service and look for the item. They must have items listed alphabetically, right? Needless to say I felt they couldn’t be bothered, and didn’t want my business. I only even called them because I was looking for an old Barney CD for a friends kid, and couldn’t find it anywhere. That’s OK. I’ll shop somewhere else.
