The shop was clean, organized and well stocked. The prices were spot on, and Bill was super friendly and helpful. Stopped in here to kill some time, and ended up emptying my pockets. Ha! Definitely worth a trip to check this place out!

Bill the manager is very personable and professional. I sold some scrap gold and the price was very fair and it was a great experience overall. I would recommend Uptown over some of the other local gold buyers. I will definitely do business here again.

I bought a nice midi patch bay / processor for my analog music production setup from this store. I got it for a great price as well. The store has a great selection of studio/audio equipment, guitars, retro video games, dvds, drones, and more! The owner bill is super helpful and fun to talk to. Top notch!

Excellent staff and merchandise. Bill the manager and Jon the don (owner) are always willing to help out and give the highest prices possible. Loans are straightforward and one of the lowest pawn interest rates around. Come here for the professional staff to get a fair pawn or sell your item. Also a wide range of tools, electronics, collectables and other unique stuff at at lower than retail prices.

The owner paid to have his google rating fixed in order to inaccurately reflect the quality of business he conducts here. My personal experience is that if you are looking to sell or pawn anything then your best bet is to travel an extra quarter mile down the same road this store is located at and go to Silas Dean Pawn. For what you spend in gas you will make back tenfold by getting much better rates at that place instead. The owner here is the stereo type of what you would expect from someone who owns a pawn shop. He exploits everyone he can just to keep the lights on in his tiny little store. The selection of things to buy is equally as disappointing as the prices he offers. When you have a store like Silas Dean that has 7 diff. Locations, it becomes clear their sucess over his own isnt dumb luck. Being someone who buys and sells items as a second source of income, this gentleman always without failure comes up short everytime. I am not affiliated with any store, but I am rather a consistent customer of them both. I would hope that this review will save numerous people both time and money in the future. Seriously be your own judge, both on the business and on the individual who owns it as well. He will come up shorter than he stands tall, which isnt saying much.

This place does not look like a pawn shop. Its so clean and organized. The staff is very friendly. The prices are great. I could not believe the computer I bought, was like brand new and the price lower then other places I shopped. Bill one of the workers was extremely helpful. I would shop there over and over.

I tried to pawn my circular saw at other pawn shops in the area and they wouldnt accept it. I came down to Uptown Pawn. I was able to pawn it for $20 when all places wont accept it. And they only charged me $4 on top of what I got for it. Which is awesome because all other places charge at least $10 on top to get your item back out. Im definitely coming back here if I have to pawn anything

Ive been here about 5 or six times and every time I got good and quick service. They are negotiable with their prices and you get good and fair deals. Overall its a good pawnshop and I would recommend checking it out.

Went to other places to get pricing on two wedding bands and was getting the run round about prices. The guy here was very fair in pricing explain how he prices right in front of me & I walked out with cash. He was very friendly & made sure I was satisfied with my experience! Would highly recommend!!

Came in and had a wide variety of what I was looking for as well as many of everything you could expect at a pawn shop, but the majority is quality of as close to new as it could come. Owner is a great honest guy and tells it how it is. Id recommend coming here WAY before going to the competition down the street

I wandered into this pawn store last night. This was my second visit and both times the man behind the counter was nice and not in my face which is common in places like this and even more important they have fair prices which is rare at pawn shops. I purchased a single board computer at a very fair used price and when i opened it it was new! I will go back and if you are nearby why not check it out?

I would like to start off by saying I rarely leave a review of anything online unless I either had great or horrific experience. I am pleased to say that this was one of those exceptional times. First of all, wow! This is hands down the cleanest pawn shop I have shopped at. The inventory is neatly stacked, labeled and priced. While the store itself is on the smaller side, the amount of products they offer is not. Just like any other pawn shop, there is a surplus of speakers, power tools, dvd/cd’s, jewelry and much more. I have made multiple trips to the store and can attest to the quality of the goods they offer is of a higher grade than the average pawn shop. However, what I found that really separates Uptown Trading from most other shops is the staff, which is very personable and is eager to assist you. I had the pleasure of meeting Bill, a full time employee who not only greeted me personally as I walked into the store, but was extremely patient with me as I inspected each guitar. The individual attention made me feel comfortable that I was receiving a great product for a very reasonable price. I would like to point out I was not pressured into purchasing anything or constantly being up sold to something out of my price range. Uptown trading will continue to see my business and comes highly recommended. Happy shopping!

Cleanest pawn shop Ive ever been in, the prices are fantastic and the staff is friendly and very willing to negotiate for a fair deal. Not your typical pawn shop, highly recommended that you give them a look. They had jewelry, tvs and tools, as well as some other crazy stuff, the last time I was in.

I have come here several times and am always treated fairly. The staff has let me be late on an interest payments by one week when they def did not have to be so kind. This is th ed only pawn shop I will go to after experiencing several other pawn shops in the area. 5 stars

Very bad experience that describes what kind of place this is. Purchased high end speakers, told they were working fine and owner wouldnt let me test them. After bringing them home, one of the two was clearly broken, plays just static. I kindly called them for help, was denied anything. These people dont test inspect what they sell and more importantly they do not stand behind their sales. The owner hung up on me when I asked them to simply have it repaired. I have never experienced such a bad seller and Im out of a lot of money. Buyers beware. Theres plenty of other pawn shops in town to chose from.

I have been to many pawnshops but this place treated me like a real person, unlike the other pawnshops I have been to. I bought a 65 inch flatscreen TV. The price was great and Bill the manager was great. Best pawnshop in Connecticut.

Additional review:My family and I are so greatful for Uptown Trading and the excellent adventures we have when we come here. Great finds and an extensive collection, they will go above and beyond to help you get what you need. I honestly have had nothing but amazing experiences here. I can not begin to tell you how amazing these guys are. They will honestly treat you like family and go above and beyond in making each customer feel welcomed, valued, respected, and give you the best customer service anyone could ask for. An awesome place to buy, sell, and trade. I will never go anywhere else. Definitely one of those places that deserves much more recognitionand attention. Go there today!! :)Awesome experience! So helpful, professional friendly and clean. Such a great place to go! This is going to be my Go to place!! They make it their goal to get your needs met. Even made a point of reaching out to make sure I was able to sell the things I had needed to, when other shops had misled me. Thanks to Bill the manager, and really awesome staff and owner! and I couldnt be happier with my experience!

Went there on a Sunday and was told by the attendant that he couldnt appraise some refined gold I wanted to sell. That was not what I expected to hear from a place whos front window consists mainly of telling passersby that they buy gold.
