I stopped in last Saturday with the intention of buying something, but I had no idea what I was going to buy. I've been enjoying their YouTube videos, and I thought I would stop in to repay them for all of the entertainment by making a purchase at their store.
All of the employees were very friendly and extremely helpful, but Kevin, in particular, was really great.
He helped me in the musical instrument section of the store, and it was clear from the start that he really knew what he was talking about.
Not only was he a great salesman, but he was a pretty cool guy, in general. I walked out of there thinking, "what a great experience".
He helped me to pick out an amplification system for my electronic drum set. He took the time to demonstrate that the machine worked properly, he listened carefully and paid attention to my specific needs, and he very considerately wrote out a hand receipt that addressed my concerns for returning the device in the event that it was incompatible with my drum set.
I got the device home to find that it worked perfectly with my rig, and I have been having so much fun with it ever since.
I think I may have even been a witness to what will, most likely, be a video featured on their YouTube page. And unbelievably, I ran into an old friend that I haven't seen in 11 years while I was there!
Overall, I'm very glad that I drove out to the Trading Post from Chicago. It was an afternoon well spent, and I would recommend it to anyone.
If you're watching the videos and enjoying the material that they put out, get on down there and spend some money! They've got a lot of very cool and interesting things priced very affordably.
Pete is a welcoming host, and his animals are just as sweet and friendly in person as they seem on YouTube.
The cat walked right up to me and climbed on my leg while I was squatting down to look at something on a low shelf.
Thank you, gentlemen!

Most of these guy act like they are experts and all they do is Google your item then low ball you. Act like jerks too. I'd buy but never sell anything to them. Most don't know jack. A few guys there actually have knowledge. 14 years of experience going here

As far as selling stuff to the Trading Post, all I can say is try and do it when Pete is there. If he's not present, and you've gotta deal with Ryan and Kevin, don't expect much. I've been there 3 times. The first time Pete wasn't there and they wouldn't buy my item, which was a very popular original folded 80s movie poster in pristine condition. The second time Pete was there and he bought almost everything I had brought in. And he gave me a very fair deal for everything. The third time, Pete was there but had to step out to run an errand (of course, right as I walked in with all my stuff). BTW, the second and third time I brought stuff in was all man cave stuff (video games, vintage beer stuff, some rock music related stuff), which is all stuff Pete loves to buy and sell. Ryan and Kevin barely bought ANYTHING I had, and it was a giant tote full. Really pissed me off. 1 hour and 20 minute drive for basically nothing. Oh well. I'll continue to watch their YouTube channel, which is very enjoyable, but I'll probably never visit the store again.

I was in town for business and decided to stop by for the first time. It was a great visit and was able to meet Pete and Ryan after watching their videos on youtube for a long time. They treated me great and I bought some cool items. They have very cool vintage items and a great selection of vinyl discs. Follow them on YT at Craigslist Hunter.

This place is amazing. Anything you can imagine they have. Also the videos they record are not only entertaining, but also informative.

Have yet to stop in to visit, but I enjoy Peter's videos on YouTube and hope to pop in shortly from a state away!

Visited on a trip from Florida to Chicago. It was out of the way but I’m happy we went. Nice people, good selection, very entertaining. I even bought two plastic hockey players we saw on the show! Definitely recommended.

Pete and the crew are very knowledgeable and kind. It’s fun walking around seeing the merchandise, almost like a museum LOL.

The low ball king.
Tells you stuff like he has to pay for shipping on eBay, but if you look at his eBay listings you are the one paying for shipping for items.
What a dork.

My wife and I visited Pete and his team and were given a very fair price for an item I brought it, and again when we purchased a handful of vinyl albums. His store has a little something for everyone, with a nice selection of vinyl albums and CDs, and a lot of sports memorabilia in his "man cave" room. All in all a great experience, and if you haven't checked out his YouTube channel, look it up, you won't be disappointed! Huge shoutout to Honey, the best resale shop pet we've run into! We'll definitely visit again!
