Answers You Can Count On

Straightforward answers about how Blue Diamond Trade Post works — buying, selling, trading, pawn loans, and layaway — for shoppers and sellers across Kokomo and the State of Indiana.

  • What does Blue Diamond Trade Post actually do?

    Blue Diamond Trade Post is a locally and family-owned pawn shop in Kokomo, Indiana that buys, sells, and trades jewelry, gold, coins, tools, electronics, musical instruments, and vehicles, and also offers pawn loans and layaway. Unlike a one-off online buyer or a big-box retailer, the same local team evaluates your item in person and stands behind every offer.

  • What areas does Blue Diamond Trade Post serve?

    The shop is based at 1613 N Davis Rd, Kokomo, Indiana, and serves customers from Kokomo and across the State of Indiana. Visit the Service Area page for a full list of nearby cities covered.

  • How does Blue Diamond Trade Post decide what to offer for an item?

    Offers are based on factors like the item's condition, brand, current market demand, and for precious metals, purity and weight. There's no set price list — every item gets a fair, honest, no-obligation look from an experienced staff member.

  • Do you charge for evaluations or appraisals?

    No. Bringing in an item for an offer is always free, and you're never pressured to accept — you're free to walk away if the number doesn't work for you.

  • How does selling or trading an item actually work?

    You bring the item in during store hours, a staff member examines it and makes you an offer, and if you accept, you walk out with cash or store credit on the spot. Each service page (jewelry, gold and silver, coins, tools, and more) walks through the specific steps for that category.

  • How long does a typical transaction take once I'm in the store?

    Most buy, sell, or trade transactions are completed in one visit, often within 15–30 minutes depending on the item. This is different from response time — how quickly staff can see you — which is immediate during business hours since no appointment is needed.

  • Who is Blue Diamond Trade Post best suited for?

    The shop serves anyone looking to turn an unused valuable into cash, find a quality used item below retail price, or get fast funds through a pawn loan without a credit check. That includes individuals clearing out jewelry or electronics, collectors trading coins, and shoppers hunting for a deal on tools or instruments.

  • What proof can I look at before deciding to trust Blue Diamond Trade Post?

    Visit the Testimonials page for feedback from real customers, or stop by the shop in person at 1613 N Davis Rd, Kokomo, to see the inventory and meet the staff directly. The team brings 40 years of industry experience to every transaction.

  • What is the pricing model — do you have a price list?

    There's no fixed price list because pawn and resale values depend on each item's condition, demand, and material. Every offer is explained in plain language on the spot, so you always know what's being proposed before you decide.

  • Does Blue Diamond Trade Post offer any discounts?

    Yes — active military members and veterans receive a 10% discount storewide. Just mention your service when you come in.

  • How do I get started?

    Simply bring your item into the store during business hours, Monday and Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (closed Tuesday), or call 765-252-3076 with questions beforehand. No appointment is ever needed.
