Since its inception the entire pawnbroker industry was built on the cornerstone of recycling and like the good folks at Greenbacks they believe one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
One walk through the vast store at 170 North Front Street in Belleville and you see all the treasures available.
From lightly used sports jerseys, instruments and tools to jewelry, bicycles and electronics – they have something for everyone on your Christmas list, even grandma.
Our items are 40% less expensive than you would find in a retail store, Jessica De Wal Marketing Coordinator for Greenbacks explained.
“We really pride ourselves on purchasing lightly used but very good items so we are able to provide quality items but at a lower discount price than retail,” said De Wal. “It’s a win-win for both the customer and us.”
“If you’re getting a chainsaw it’s the exact same quality,” smiled De Wal. “It has maybe been used a few times or maybe for a year and someone decided to upgrade. It has a lot of life in it. Why spend a fortune on something that is going to last just as long?”
Not only does Greenback promote re-using items but they also refurbish products in-store such as computers and phones.
“All of these perfectly good items are reusable,” beamed De Wal. “Why throw it out when you can reuse it?”
Greenbacks is all about reducing its footprint. They recycle everything and items they aren’t able to such as electronics go to select drop-off locations.
To top it off everything comes with a 30-day warranty.
Stop in. You never know what great finds are waiting for you at Greenbacks.
