Barracks Trading Post — Local services in New Brunswick

Where do I start. After standing in front of the counter for 30 minutes plus the guy behind the counter says "What do I want"? Is that how all customers are greeted after waiting for him? I proceed to show him and Old vintage Marshall amp from 1970 that I no longer use. Ok the amp is 40 yrs old and had some cosmetic rips and dings but the main speakers and tubes work just fine. So he powers up the amp after trying to find an extension cord and I tell him you need to plug this directly into a clean circuit without the extension cord or else you will get some grounding noise out of the speakers. He claims he has done this hundreds of time and low and behold the amp is popping and farting out some grounding noise. I picked up a junk guitar that he had laying around because all there is in this place is retired junk that nobody wants and started to let him hear the potential of this amp. Well the amp is worth $1,500 and he said I will give you a $100 bucks final offer. What is he smoking? I pulled the plug and walked out of that want to be a garage sale store and got $1,800 over at Sam Ash. Stay away from this guy because he has NO clue on what really good merchandise is. I WILL NEVER BE BACK AGAIN! IF ONLY THERE WAS AWAY TO GIVE HIM NEGATIVE...

It was my first time coming to this location and I was very surprised how organized the store was. I came in to find a decent laptop and I actually did find one in great condition. It was an HP laptop, I paid less here than Best Buy!!! The young man who works there offered to clean it again which I appreciated. Most pawn places will just sell you the item the way they bought it. It is very important to keep that in mind when buying electronics in pawn shops. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking into buying eletronics or anyone who needs quick cash on the spot. All the items are in good shape and the pricing is...

The moment I walked, I was a little overwhelmed by how much stuff this place has, but that's not a bad thing. I went from never having seen this place before, to having found things that I've been looking for purchased in a timely manner. The owner and his son are very friendly and very knowledgeable. This place is also great for vintage stereo equipment if you're into that sort of thing. Make sure you go during less busy driving conditions as getting out of the parking lot can be a little tedious, but it is doable. I will definitely be visiting this place again, especially since it's on the way...
