For those of you who love reality shows like Storage Wars or Pawn Stars and the likes, BidWars: Pawn Empire is the closest thing you’ll get to the real experience. And since it’s not easy to reap on the profits, our Bid Wars Pawn Empire cheats and tips will guide you through all the steps required to get the most out of the game.
The concept is pretty simple here: you attend auctions at various storage houses, estimate the value of the storage room and start bidding against three other buyers, hoping that you get the storage room itself and end up with a bit of profit afterwards. It’s not as easy as it sounds, but it sure is really fun!
There are many things to take into account when playing this game, so let’s not waste a single second and let’s check out below some Bid Wars Pawn Empire tips and tricks in our complete strategy guide below!
IMPORTANT: This is a guide for Bid Wars Pawn Empire. If you’re interested in the new game, make sure to check out our Bid Wars Stars guide here.
Try to learn the prices of the items
Before bidding starts in a room, you have a few seconds to look around and tap the items to estimate the price of that storage room. However, the regular items which make the majority of things you’ll see in a room always have the same price and even the rarer ones have a minimum price.
As you play the game, try to remember these prices in order to easily estimate the value of the room. Usually, my way of dealing with this is to set a maximum bid based on my estimated price plus $100, up to $200 more depending on the number of boxes. It works, usually:
It gets a bit trickier if more than one rare item are in the room: these items can sell for much more than the minimum price, so always keep that in mind and if you think it’s worth the risk, take it. You can’t go to a storage war without being ready to risk a bit.
Finally, knowing the prices of the items helps a lot when dealing with clients who come to sell you their stuff directly: you’ll know how to valuate the items they bring, as it usually happens for them to ask a lot more than what it’s worth.
Rare items usually mean higher profits
As you probably know, these rare items can be researched and, if proven to be the real deal, they can be sold for much more than the indicated price. Considering the fact that you will only sell them in the store for an even higher price based on the offers you get, it means that this is where your big money will come from.
So never hurry to sell an item unless the price you’re getting for it is at least 5% higher, but try to wait until you get a bonus of at least 10%.
Take your time to research items in the college
There is absolutely no point in selling rare and rarer items without researching them in the college. If you do this and they are proven to be genuine (which is usually the case), you will get a lot more money for that particular item, raising your profits even more. Never ignore the college!
Watch video ads to reduce waiting times
You always have to wait for 1 hour for the college research of your item to complete, no matter what’s the rarity. Watching a video ad cuts about 20 or 30 minutes of waiting time and it’s extremely useful when it comes to rushing things – so make sure you do that as often as possible.
Also, you can watch ads to rush the offer time for your in-store items in case you’re in a hurry and you want to free up some inventory space.
Upgrade only when you have enough money left afterwards
Make sure that you buy upgrades only when you have enough money left afterwards to buy all the rooms at your next auction. You don’t want to see a storage room that gives you tons of profit and have no money to buy it.
My approach to upgrading things in Bid Wars Pawn Empire is this: I always buy upgrades (one or two, at most) before taking a break from the game and only when I have a full set of items selling in the shop and one being researched in the college. This way I am sure that I’ll have enough funds to keep on going for the bigger storage rooms out there.
These would be our BidWars Pawn Empire tips and tricks. If you have other strategies or pieces of advice for the fans of the game, let us know by posting a comment below.
How to complete object of “having 1 speaker ” in the game??
Please reply..
You have to Take the Speaker from Auction to your Storage
hi what does the little phones mean in the top right of the locations
That means that it is a part of a quest
You need to buy a room that has speakers, then take them back to your warehouse and put it on sale.
It has to be in your invetory when you collect. If you sell the speaker before you try to collect you will have to do it again and get another speaker. Sell it after you collect the bonus
But what to do if you aren’t finding a speaker in auction?
Can any body tell me how do I buy items from pawn shop

Play higher levels & also just look for items in the locker that say “this looks interesting” , “gotta have this” or anything un-boxed or not covered that doesn’t give an estimate price.
Where I should find professional camera
Honolulu
Las Vegas
San Francisco and Miami
Renting the houses how does it work?
They basically generate passive revenue for you, nothing fancy: you just come back and collect from them every few hours.

I’m new to this game. My mission is to buy an object from the pawn shop, how do I do that?
At a certain level, you can open the pawn shop to clients
Damn you’re in trouble.
Idk? Usually you only have to wait the 8 hour limit when it’s over $1,000 maybe try logging out and restarting your game see if you need an update or anything cuz usually it does price by hours so if it’s $350 it’s three and a half hours $450 four and a half hours and so on and so forth

Look at the icon in the quest of the item…match it up with the icon of the things in the storage rooms when you buy them…usually tool bags…found in lower level auctions like Miami & San Francisco…
UPDATE: If you’re on the amateur radio quest, you CAN get them in Honolulu & Ottowa, as well as Las Vegas…now that I completed that quest I’m finding them everywhere lol
Has anyone else experienced when you haven’t played all night, & in the morning when your “energy” is maxed out (30/30) that you can do an auction or 2 & your “energy” doesn’t go down at all?

Not sure where to get it, however someone on utube has a video of items. It looks like a golden retriever statue. $432 and has a lamp symbol on the bottom right. Good luck.
