Deals

Been buying all my guitar equipment and many other things from deals always had good stuff at good price and friendly and helpful del always got a smile great guy

One of the worst thing about the recession is the emergence of ‘we’ll buy your goods for hardly any money’ shops. The cash for gold ones are the worst; ‘have you got any unwanted gold lying around the house?’ ‘Now you mention in there’s unwanted gold all over my house, if only I’d thought of selling it before, my children could have eaten these past two weeks.’
Less grabbing than cash for gold, these shops buy things like electrical goods and sell them on for profit. Obviously of you were prepared to advertise the items yourself you’d probably make a great deal more money.
As a shopper, the selection here is pretty good. It shows what kind of stuff people are willing to sell off. If you’re in the hunt for a television or a hifi and don’t mind that when it goes wrong, it’s not going back to the shop then this place is for you.

With Albany Road’s Cash Generator all of two minutes away from Deals, alongside a whole bunch of cash for gold pawnbrokers, the market for second hand goods seems over-​saturated in Roath. But this City Road shop has lasted long enough to be doing something right: and that’s stuffing their modest premises full of shedloads of stock. It’s overflowing in fact with widescreen televisions, computers, consoles and games, DVDs, CDs and a stack more, including a surprisingly good range of musical instruments, recording equipment and PA systems. As with any store of this ilk, the stock is turning over every day, so there’s always the chance of unearthing a new bargain. And should your financial state mean that the transactions are going in the opposite direction, they pay hard cash for your pre-​owned items, with decent buyback options, and also arrange cash loans. The staff won’t spin any false customer service façade, either. This is a no-​nonsense wheeler-​dealer haven where you’ll get exactly what that moniker promises: Deals by name and nature.

Deals is one of those second hand shops that seems to be springing up all over the place… especially over the last five years or so. I guess that they are the modern equivalent of the pawn brokers shops, and so instead of dealing in watches and jewellery, ornaments and other valuable items, they specialise in electrical items such as TV’s, DVD’s, Home Audio, Computers, Games Consoles, Guitars, PA Equipment etc etc… Just like a pawn brokers they also offer secured loans on the stock that they buy and sell.
Prices of the items on sale are generally pretty cheap, and so I believe that they only offer the customer who exclusively buys items from Deals real value for money. If you are selling equipment or taking out a loan it’s a different story entirely.
