Big Al's Trading Pawn shop in Crystal Lake, IL

I have been shopping and reselling stuff here since they first opened. Eddie is a great person to talk with and deal with. They offer reasonable prices on stuff you sell they have to make a profit on it so it's fair enough.

Eddie the Manager knows as much if not more then some of the guys working st the geek squad when it comes to electronics. He has helped me more than a few times dealing with my computer, monitor and laptop.

Whether you’re looking for a great used guitar, amps and pedals, or anything else this is the place! The owner Eddie goes through and professionally sets up every guitar he gets. So you can be confident in the quality and playability of each instrument he has available

Cannot begin to say how awesome this place is. Not only are Eddie and Tom the nicest people, but they are also super knowledgeable about absolutely everything in their store. A must go to for all your music (and anything else!) needs. They are so helpful, and really go above and beyond for their customers.
