Fair pricing from good, trustworthy people. Thorough and great customer service. REALLY good loan rates.

Dealing with this place has been a pleasure. Dealt with them as a younger guy and recently when I sold a trumpet. The exchange was quick and very fair.I wish them luck.

Extremely friendly, nice guy the owner is. Was very helpful, also got some great prices on various items. 10/10 going to be returning here again.

Good deals to shop from. Great customer service. Good quality items to choose from.

Stopped in to browse after getting vaccinated at the Walgreens down the street. Didnt find anything that caught my eye but the staff was extremely pleasant and didnt act like I was wasting their time like you get in a lot of other pawn shops.Bonus points for Maisie, the cute business dog they have as security

If you are a loyal pawner or customer, they will nearly always give you your asking price!! Also if you call ahead in a loan that you owe on they will give you a couple of extra days. Just like anyone else, you have to build trust for that bigger loan. Honestly thank you guys, and thank you for the chargers and the free gift today!!

John is the best, Honest and very helpful. It was nice to come across a great shop like his. There is a great selection of merchandise and I am so greatfulf for his great advice.

This pawn shop provided me help with some family items I needed to sell.I had already gone to two other stores and found that Alexanders gave me the best information and money for my items. I would highly recommend them.

I’ve been to this pawn shop for a couple of items I do think owner is very reasonable and polite.

This is the greatest place to buy stuff they have a great customer service fair prices and the owner treat me like his friend i will recomend to stop by the always have interesting stuff

Just a heads up if your buying anything from this shop be advise some oftheir collective, antiques or valued merchandise may not be legit so your best bet is to have some of the items ether double checked or do some research first, I bought two items from their shop and found out this gold pocket watch was fake, and I tried going back to the shop and whomever the shopkeeper is wont even take it back claiming all sales are final and told me not to set foot in the shop again or hell call the cops.Its not the wrong shop because across the street theres a construction area being done at the time I visited your shop and if you look to the right leaving the pawn shop theres a traffic light with a dental office in the corner so tell me why are you resorting to lying? And secondly calling the cops is not a very good way to fixing the problem ether.

Bottom line they paid me more and did it with a positive vibe

John the owner is friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and extremely fair. He is a business man who understands what it takes to keep customers happy so that they will come back. I have had nothing but good experiences in my dealings at Alexanders. I give this place a 10 and recommend taking a trip to Des Plaines for your pawnshop needs.

Alexander coin and pawn is THE BEST pawn shop in All of Chicagoland! Ask for John, he is very friendly and fair.... and thats Rare in the pawn business. I highly recommend Alexander gold and pawn to all of my friends and family. John gave me a better deal than any other pawn shop. I will definitely be a lifelong customer!

Really great place, great people, and cute dog!Bought a couple things from here at amazing prices! Both things I bought look almost new and work great! Cant wait to check them out again!

John was wonderful and explained everything thoroughly. Sold gold here and was extremely fair. Came all the way from the city to come here and get the best deals. Worth the visit!

I stopped in to sell some of my silver ingots, they gave me a fair price and were extremely helpful. It seemed like they wanted me to get a good deal and were completely transparent throughout the transaction! This was my first time in a pawn shop and I just needed some quick cash to pay for my upcoming school semester and Alexander Coin and Pawn made it easy and comfortable doing business with them; I will be coming back in the future and I would definetly recommend them to a friend.

The guys at Alexander Pawn are some of the coolest guys you’ll meet. Very friendly and always gives you a good deal. I will proudly spend my money here

Really cool place. John is a great guy!

Highly recommend this place!! It happened once; I desperately need some money to pay late bills, and I used their services. Everything went smoothly, the stuff was friendly and give me many options to choose. A+++

Great service. Never had any issue here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good pawn shop in the nw suburbs

Went in looking for 1 specific item and walked out with much more. What was that ? Friendship. John is a gentleman and one hell of a Des Plainian. Thank you for being my friend.

Great experience. I was treated fairly and had great pricing. Thanks again.

Ask for John. Super nice guy and very helpful. His description on the phone of the item I was inquiring about was spot on accurate. I am very pleased with my purchases. Will definitely be going back 👍

I went to this pawn shop the other day to find silver for smelting. I talked with Jon the owner and I left with a very fare deal. The owner is very friendly, and knowledgeable salesman. I will defiantly be going back to this shop.

One the best pawnshop in town the owner and clerk are the coolest people on earth

Alex was absolutely amazing. He gave me a very fair price on my TV...

The owner is a very nice guy who truly wants to help you. I never had a bad experience there

I have been doing business with Alexanders for years. I consider John (the owner) a friend and after shopping around, I wont go anywhere else. They have a really cool collection of miscellaneous collectibles. If you dont see what youre looking for just ask. They also give the best prices, pawning or selling. .....Tony DeBartolo from Chicago

This is by far the best pawn shop I have been to. The owner is extremely nice as well as the other workers there. I had a few things in pawn there as in some video games, a tablet, and a controller for Nintendo switch. I was not able to pick up my items on the due date. Instead of losing my stuff, they gave me more time and didnt keep my things. After being late already, I went to finally get my things and they were accidentally moved from the place they were supposed to be at. The owner took my info down and said he would call me when he located them. 10 minutes later he called saying he found them and that I have the whole month to pick them up. 3 weeks later I went to get them. Not only was I already late the first time, Im now over 5 weeks past the final date. He apologized to me for what happened, which honestly wasnt to big a deal cuz things happen, that is just life. But not only did he apologize, he took money off the fee, and gave me some items in his shop for FREE! I have never seen a pawn shop operate in such a caring way. I will never go to any other pawn shop again as long as I live. Give this place your business because they deserve it.

I highly recommend Alexanders.John is so pleasant and so helpful.When you call he knows exactly who you are, if you have any need, he is so accommodating. He is always so happy and they work with you to meet your needs whether it is a sale or loan. If your interested in any items - he takes time to talk to you.Great Experience and Great Customer Service.

I love dealing with Alexander Pawn, they are always nice and fare. Love doing business with them guys thanks👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you very much Alexander for the help because if you didn’t help me I probably will be lost my house God bless your Alexander

Staff was friendly and they had great prices.

The people here are very nice with a great price, I got a nice Bluetooth keyboard that Im going to use on my phone because I hate typing on a little tiny screen, I also got a nice puzzle still shrink wrapped of the New York City skyline from pre 9-11 and he only charged me 15 bucks for both. I will most definitely be back to see what they have, and they are also very fair if you need to get a few bucks.

Great place to do business. Very friendly owner and definitely has fair prices! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Plus the cute happy dog is a plus!

They have excellent service. Would come again.

Great prices. Excellent service

The owner and staff are very nice, honest, and fair.

Been here quiet a few times there awesome here and John the owner is great! Always get great deals here. This is the only pawn shop I come to.

Stopped in yesterday to see what was for sale. Met John and his puppy. Friendly place, prices all seemed appropriate. I didnt find what I was looking for so I will be sure to stop back from time to time.Large variety of items there, its worth a stop. IXOYE

Had a great experience at this pawn shop. John was really nice and the prices were fair. Would definitely recommend, worth the visit

Been coming here for years. Great customer service and they always help when I’m in a pickle. I’m a happy customer.

John is a great guy, extremely fair!

Well it has been 9-10 year maybe longer, it is the only pawnshop that I go to when I need extra cash. I would not and did not go any other place and I highly recommend Alexander Coin and Pawn shop. I see a comment from a guy saying this place is dirty, creepy but I know these wonderful people who work there. I suggest please do not judge book by its cover. Place might not be sparkling clear or up to date, but what matter is the honesty, and trustworthiness of this place. To be honest with you, I was late few times, late longer than 30 days but they did not sell my items not charged more. One time he even waved a monthly interest payment on my account because I have been with them since very long time. Any way I can support this business I will. I wish I could promote them more.

Stood by their word on selling me a PA Mixer in working condition -sounds perfect! Great owner and lots of care and curation in this shop!

Very nice employees. Helped me find what I was looking for in seconds. If you are in the Des Plaines area I definitely would recommend that you give this place a go.

Excellent service and kind sales person and the dog was awesome. Found a great Walkman! Several great guitars! Check out this place soon!!!

Amazing customer service!!

They never have much on their shelves and wont give you a descent offer if you try to sell anything, they like to low ball people...

People are just foolishly judgemental. The fact is I bought some great tools here and they always treat me right.

Alexanders is the best place to pawn ANYTHING. I needed money so i needed a loan on a ring & my tv . I tried 2 other local places & was very upset with what they were offering so i tried Alexanders they really gave me top DOLLAR $$$$$ . I wont go anywhere else ever again & the guys that helped me are so nice & very helpful . At a bad time Alexanders really came thru for me plus when all was said and done they gave me a handshake & a cookie. THANK YOU ALEXANDERS !!!!!

Awesome people who work there needed a cutter they had one at a great price was weary about buying a used one with a bad blade they said no problem come back if it doesnt work.turned out to work great!Thanks guys!

Very friendly and informative owner!

I pawned a gold chain that belonged to my son that recently passed away, and when I returned to pay it off, they simply said that it was trashed by accident, they have no sense of integrity at all they are really arrogant,they are idiots I should have known by the way the place looks its a dump.Please be ware ! they really dont understand the grief they caused me, that was my babys gold chain how can you just trash it no sense of responsibility I will leave it in Gods hands now. .

Liked the shop

Great place thanks for the cookies

Great items fair prices

They dont buy anything, they buy garbage
